The Punjab Enquiry



THUS writes the New Statesman:-“The most moderate members of the Indian deputations now in London continue to draw public attention to the excessive rigour of the executive in the Punjab, especially the number and harshness of the sentence imposed by the courts-martial set up after the disturbances last spring. The Government, we understand, is sending out Lord Cave as the head of a small commission of inquiry. Its findings can only be satisfactory if the investigation is made to cover the policy of the Punjab administration before the riots and since the establishment of martial law events in the Punjab are reverberating through the whole of India, and the Viceroy’s position is being made more difficult by the revival of the agitation upon the treatment of Indian settlers in South Africa under the restrictive Land and Trading Bill now passing its final stages in the Union Parliament.”
