I beg to send a copy of the memorial to Mr. Chamberlain with regard to the recent anti-Indian Demonstration. The approaching Conference of the Colonial Premiers in London, to discuss this among other questions, renders it absolutely necessary that the Indian side of the question should be represented as strongly as possible. I know that the famine and plague absorb the attention of public men in India. But, since this question is now awaiting final decision, I venture to think it should receive the fullest attention of the public men.
Emigration is one of the antidotes against famine.
And the Colonies are now endeavouring to stop it. Under the circumstances, I submitthat the matter deserves the most earnest and immediate attention of the public men in India. It is not ascertainable to which of the public men it was sent. You will be pleased to learn that the Indian community have subscribed over 1,130 to the Indian Famine Fund.
