Indian Home Rule.

UNDER the above heading Commander Wedgwood has written a letter to the “Manchester Guardian” pointing out the necessity for giving India the liberty for which the British ideal is fighting. After pointing out that devolution in India must be gradual, he relies on Mr. Lloyd George and Mr. Montagu to help India to become a self-governing Dominion in the Empire. He asks Lord Curzon, Lord Milner and Sir Edward Carson to “show how fast the world is travelling since the Czar fell.” Commander Wedgwood asks the British people to forget the colour prejudice and welcome 31 millions of Indians as fellow citizens of the best British type. “Before this war is over,” he writes, “we shall have more freedom and more Parliamentary Government in British India that in the servile German Empire. We need not be too superior in tone over the addition of 315 millions to the Empire-Muscle, brain, cash and pride. India will become an asset to us.”
