KARACHI RIOTS
TROOPS’ ACTION UPHELD GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATIONS. KBy Tei’e^raph—Press Association—Copyright! Received April 10, 9.5 p.m. BOMBAY, April 9. The Government has issued a communique dealing with the investigations into the recent firing by British troops on the riotous Moslem mob at Karachi when 47 were killed and 134 injured. The opinion is expressed that the local officials made every possinie I effort to prevent the rioting, and the situation was grave. Danger was averted only by the discipline and steadiness of the troops, who had they not fired at the critical moment would have been overwhelmed by the fanatical mob. The Bombay Governor, Lord Brabourne, discussed the question with the Viceroy, who concurred in the Bombay Government’s findings, and its opinion that no useful purpose would be served by conducting a public inquiry, as it would tend further to embitter HinduMoslem feelings.
