WHY CURZON RESIGNED
In Defence of Tsoo Great Principles,
He Says.

Bombay, Nov. 16.--At dinner in his honor
here tonight Lord Curzon Of Kedleston the re-
firing yiceroy of India, made a frank avowa4 OF
the reasons for his resignation. Beginning with
the declaration that he considered the office OF
Viceroy the noblest in the gift of the British
nation, and that # ought TO be regarded as q
prize to be awarded only to its greatest states
men. he said it could not be supposed that he
would without the strongest reasons resign a
post which had been the dream Of MS childhood
and the ambition of his manhood
He resigned, he said not on personal grounds,
but in defence of two great principles-trst'
that there should be an indestructible subordina-
ton Of the military to the civil authority, and'
second, the necessity Of paying becomiI> regard
to the Indian authority in determining the needs
Of India.
Lord Curzon contended that in sacrificing
himself in defence of these principles he had the
great preponderance of Indian opinion behind
him and predicted that should the day ever
come when the Viceroy would be treated as the
mere puppet of the home government the Justi-
fication for the post would cease TO exist he
said he did not believe that the administrative
wisdom of his countrymen would ever tolerate
such blunder.
