The world was told that India was palpitating with “loyalty” to her British masters, and | that British rule was regarded by her as a Heaven-sent blessing. The peo- ple of India had no control over Reu- ter’s or any other news agencies. If, wag impossible for them to prevent | the publication of these statements, | and they knew it would be futile to | make protest at that stage with im- perfal authority. Before the European war was two old, British soldiers had opened fire (Sept. 80, 1914) at Budge Budge—two miles from Calcutta—up- on the 300 Hindus who had been re- fused entrance to Canada. Events now' followed in rapid succession: The rebellion at Singapore, the rising at Ceylon, the series of guerilla dep- redations in Bengal and the Punjab, the fighting on the northwestern frontier and elsewhere. But the world at large heard only very faint and confusing reports of what was | happening in India. i The “Hindustan Gadar” considered | it an imperative duty to place the truth regarding India before the peo- ple of the United States. The lead- ing American newspdpers and maga- zines, with their characteristic gener- osity and sense of fair play, opened their. columns to the communications issued by the editor of the.“Gadar.” This, of course, chagrined the British government; the truth about India must be hidden from the civilized | world at all cost. /| Austin Chamberlain, secretary of state for India; Lord Hardinge, who had just been recalled from the vice royalty; Lord Islington, under-secre- tary for India; and a host of Anglo Indian sabre-rattlers, such as Colonel Sir Francis Younghusband, deemed it necessary to attempt to refute these communications issued through the American press. The more im- portant of these replies have been answered. Is India Wide Open. Now comes Lord Chetmsford: In an interview with a correspond- ent of the Assoclated Press, published in your paper Lord Chelmsford, the new Viceroy of India, speaks of hav- ;and was twice arrested and kept in 'GIRLS IN SCHOOL ing read with surprise various articles | in American papers, representing In- | dia, as “laboring under an oppressive | rule and shaken by revolutionary and | seditious atrocities. | These are, of course, the articles | which have been written by me on be- | half of the ‘‘Hindustan Gadar.” 1In! reply to these ‘‘calumnies,” Lord Chelmsford sa to the corre- spondent,—“go { throughout the length and breadth of | | India—no sentry will bar the way and | ) | wherever you please | | no secret agent will shadow you—we have nothing to conceal.” A statement like this is no more than might be expected from the new viceroy,—but the American people will not be deceived. The newspaper correspondents will not be allowed to write freely concerning conditions in India. They are not permitted to do so in England itself, much less will they be permitted in India. I do not know the facts as to newspaper cor- respondents in India, except that nothing leaves India unless approved by the censor,—but, let me ask, why Dr, Cook, the noted explorer, was not permitted to travel freely in India, jail in Stngapore and Calcutta for sev- eral weeks, and refused permission to ascend the Himalyas, and finally OR AT BUSINESS who are delicately constituted, who have thin blood or pale cheeks, will find in SCOTT’S EMULSION a true tonic and a rich food to | overcome tiredness, nourish their nerves and feed their blood.
