INIDIAN UNREST.
GANDHI CRITICISES VICEROY.
By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. Australian and N.Z. Cr.ble Aasociation. DELHI, June 11.
Referring to Viscount Reading's Simla speech, Gandhi writes to the paper “ Young India,” saying that it is clothed with an air of unreality. Viscount Reading failed to recognise past failures, and therefore failed to deliver a sincere message to expectant India. Gandhi waxes sarcastic about tho infallibility of British rule, aud Viscount Reading’s statement that racial equality must cease. He conclude*: —‘‘There is no more unreal proposition to tho ear of tho Indian than this, beqause experience belies it. Superiority of race is a passion, and has become almost a religion with the average Englishman, non does ho strive to conceal it from view. It obtrudes upon you in India as it does in the colonies, and is written in the Statute Book.”
