THE SITUATION IN INDIA. Extensive choice of hand-made Saxon Damask Table- Bed- Ladies’ and Gentlemen’s LINEN Joseph Meyer (au petit Bazar) Neumarkt 13, opposite the Frauenkirche. Since we last had occasion to comment on the India unrest there has been no material improve ment in the situation, but steps have been taken by the Government of Bengal, and by the Govern ment of India, from which good results are to be expected. The Calcutta riots of October 2 and 3 have obviously made no small impression. As the result of an inquiry, it is reported that the charges against the police were gross exaggerations, and the significant statement is made that the dis turbances had their origin in a usually orderly class; the resolution issued by the Government of Bengal holds the conclusion to be irresistible that the disorder was the direct outcome of the violent writings and speeches of the agitators. A letter issued by the Government of Bengal to the Govern ment of India points to the dangerous influence which the conduct of the respectable classes , must have on the naturally turbulent portion of the population, and adds that Sir Andrew Fraser, the Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal, “is of opinion that it is imperative for the Government immediately to take power to stop violent speaking and writ ing.” The emphatic tone of the resolution and of the covering letter to the Government of India, was entirely justified by the passing of the Sedi tious Meetings Bill two days later in the Legislative Council of India. The new Act is a modified ex pression of the original proposal which, it will be recollected, was somewhat vague in its terms and probable application. The term “public meeting” has been clearly defined, and its applicability limited; thus, meetings held under statutory authority and meetings exempted by the Local Governments do not come within the Act. Further, it will be necessary to give not seven days’ notice of intention to hold a meeting, as was originally suggested, but three. The measure is not per manent; it is to be valid only during the next three years. Nor is it to be immediately applic able to the whole of India; at present it will be applied only to the Bakarganj district of Eastern Bengal. The Bill did not receive the unanimous consent of the Legislative Council, and of the three dissentients, Mr. Gokhale probably carries the greatest weight. It is a very short time since this distinguished native statesman advocated in England the principle of Indian self-government, and all who heard his. brilliant addresses were conscious of their palpable sincerity and conviction. But Mr. Gokhale did not establish his case to the satisfaction of Englishmen. He certainly won over a number of people to his ideas, but their proportion is not great and their influence scarcely appreciable; their attitude is* in fact, regarded as impulsive arid sentimental, and Mr. Gokhale’s present opposition would seem to be coloured by the same qualities. In attacking the principle of the Bill he maintained that the in creased powers which it conferred were unnecessary, and that disorders were already adequately punish able by the permanent codes. Such statements are of course entirely contradicted by facts. As Sir Harvey Adamson pointed out, a repressive Act was necessary, because under existing conditions it was impossible to obtain a conviction by means of re spectable witnesses; these were not forthcoming. This is, perhaps, the main technical objection to the applicability of the codes to the disorders, but it was left for the Viceroy himself, Lord Minto, to meet the larger claims of principle put forward by Mr. Gokhale and his partisans. He did so in a spirit of conciliation, yet without conceding a point to that political aspiration which expressed itself in seditious rioting. He welcomed the existence of national aims and claimed for them the past and present support of the Indian administration. “We have no wish,” he said, “to check the growth of political thought We will repress sedition, but OTTO MAYER Photographer 38 Prager Strasse 38 Tel. 446.

All articles for sewing and dressmaking. the restlessness of the new-born advancing thought we are prepared to meet and keep in guidance.” Everything that tended to inflame racial feeling or to tamper with the loyalty of the Indian army was a warning, the significance of which he would not minimize.. He could not help thinking that the firm, yet liberal, attitude of Lord Minto is the only attitude at once worthy of the British Government and likely to be acceptable to educated native opinion. In recogniz ing the fundamental distinction between political thought and seditious bombast, it both administers a reproof and pays a tribute to the Indian people. The administration of India has often been com pared to that of the Roman Empire, but we ven ture to doubt whether the Roman administration was ever confronted with a problem of such deli cacy. Whatever the faults of the Indian people, there can be no dispute that their character is sensitive and intellectual. It is within the experi ence of everyone that these attributes are not in consistent with a distinct lack of balance, of the fine judgment which can alone transform a collec tion of individuals into a self-governing people. But, in addition, the Hindu has been for centuries subject to directly autocratic forms of government. He has evolved no political ideals for himself; with his imitative faculty he has adopted ideals rather than been fashioned by them. How should one believe that in the course of a few years the conservation which lies at the very root of every Oriental nation can be converted to the most doctrinaire of Western political tenets, or that any thing but a transitory aggravation of racial feel ing can account for the wild antipathy to stable methods of Government ? 52 Prager Str. near Main R.
