INDIAN REFORMS.
PROTESTS AT DELAYS. MED PEEL’S DESPATCH. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received February 4, 5.5 p.m. Delhi. Feb. 2. Undoubtedly Lord Peel’s despatch to the Viceroy on the subject of the revision of the reform scheme is causing vehement protests among Indians everywhere. In the Legislatures, minutes, motions and memoranda are circulated profusely condemning the despatch in no uncertain terms. One memorandum signed by prominent members of the Legislatures says the despatch is likely to spoil all attempts to quieten the political situation and alienate the moderates. The memorandum ends: “We desire to tell the Right Honorable the Secretary of State, with all respect, that if he imagines that India is going to wait till 1929 for the re-examination and revision of the constitution, then his lordship is sadly mistaken.”
The Mahsuds aro in a chastened mood owing to the continued bombing and occupation of the disturbed area by our forces.
