Home Government Takes Action OPP
posed by Viceroy.
Simla, India, June Pit is freely
rumored that the yiceroy, Lord Curzon
of Kedleston, has either already ten
dered his resignation or shortly will
do so in consequence of the decision
of the home government whereby Lord
Kitchener, commander-in-chief of the
forces in India, has been given COM
plete control of the army in India.
Two special meetings of the Indian
council have been held since the pub
lication in London of the blue book
referring to Lord Kitchener's plans,
the approval of which is considered to
be severe blow to Lord Curzon since
he and practically the whole council
unanimously advised against the de-
cision ultimately adopted. The keen
est excitement prevails in official cir
cles here.
London, June 27.While it is con.
sidered quite possible that Lord Cur
zon may tender his resignation be-
cause of the course taken by the home
government directly at variance with
his views it is not believed that it
will be accepted or that the viceroy
will insist on quitting his post, at
least until after the Prince and Prin-
cess of Wales have completed their
tour of India. extending from Noyem-
her to March. s55s
