announcement tn this respect that has been
heard since Lord Morley made public his dec

The general effect OF tho kings visit seems
10 have been strengthening the loyalty Of the
Indian people to degree that surpassed
expectations The wonderful speCtRCl" OF
the Durbar made a profound impression and
when the king and queen later stood on the
wall of the fort in Delhi and received the
homage Of an hdoring crowd Of more than
100000 natives II Is said that the scene was
iudescribable. Gray-bearded men bowed them
selves to the ground and others wopt for Joy
and mothers held up their babies above their
heads to see and be blessed by the emperor
An incident that haGpencd at the laying of the
first stones Of the new capital gained the king
great reputation among the people. As he
was about to touch one of the stones with his
golden rowel he noticed that It was not quite
straight and asked the master mason to bring
It into better alignment. The ceremony was
stopped for n few minutes while this was
done. The story spread like wldtlre through
the bazars and accepted as an omen by
the natives, who now firmly credit their en-
peror with almost supernatural powers OF dis
cernment and a determination to establish the
foundations OF his city so surely that It Will
last through all the ages to come.
No seditious attempts were made on the life
OF the king although the murder of police
inspector In Eastern Bengal the night before
the Durbar gave eloquent testimony to the fact
that disloyalty still exists In some sections of
the population. The release or remission OF
sentence of over 1870 political prisoners was n
move of the kings, which added to his popular
ity, while his concessions to the native army
and the grant Of money for the extension of ed

districts Of Eastern Bengal. The government
denies this
The announcement OF the great changes has
had at least one effect that is already appar
ent; It has Immensely impressed Ilindus and
Mohammedans alike with the power of the
emperor. Although King George stated ut the
Durbar that he was acting on the advice OF his
ministers, this seems to have been ignored by
the mass OF his subjects, who felt that here
was a ruler indeed whose liGhtcst within was
law, and who could change ut a word the
foundations of government and the established
order of generations suppose that few ON.
Cia announcements have ever been more dra'
matte. Perhaps n dozen men out OF lndas
800. 900, 900 were in the secret, and to the rest
the declaration came with the surprising force
OF a revelation
II is precisely for this reason that anxiety Is
felt over the ultimate reception OF the propos-
ais by the Indian people When the awe
caused by the visible presence OF the sovereign
has passed away. II Is feared that fierce opposi.
ton may break out In many quarters. The
original partition of BENGAL was thought at the
time to be an innocent measure but It stirred
up dsluyalty in half OF India, turned two
provinces into hotbeds Of sedtion ana pro.
voked q series OF anarChstc crimes which has
not yet come to an end. The present changes
claim TO be purely administrative. but tho pc
culiarly secret and arbitrary way In which
they were determined may prove an excuse for
new discomfort More than one English official
who was at tie Durbar expressed the opinion
that the next year or two would another
wave OF anarchy and sedItion incOmparably
greater than anything India has yet known.
The government does not hold this view. II re-
mains to be seen who is right
Two important facts in any case. have been
made clear by the publication of the dis
patches The first is that India is at last be-
ing governed once more from India and not
from London. as was the case when Lord Mimic
was viceroy and Lord Morley secretary OF state
The entire scheme for the change of capital
and redistribution OF provinces originated at
Simla and was embodied In n dispatch from
the central government to Lord Crewe. who
accepted the proposal without change. 1t
would be interesting to know whether Lord
Hardnge or his council are principally re-
sponsible for the undertaking. II the for.
mer proves TO be the case current views or
the new viceroy will have to be revised. II
argues more than a little courage and initia
tive in n man who has been In India barely
year to risk his official reputation on such
hazardous measure.
The other fact disclosed by the dispatches
is an important intimation OF England policy
regarding the future government OF India. Lord
Hardinge and his associates state in so many

built on fresh ground, by no means triaing
detail in India, where sanitation is OF para
mount importance.
From the point OF view OF climate, also
there IS 10 doubt that Debit possesses great ad
vantagcs over Calcutta. To the newcomer In
India Calcutta is described MS haying one hot
month and eleven--hot months whereas the
cold weather OF Delhi IS delightful
Another important feature OF the proposed
change is that the position OF Delhi Will re-
move the headquarters OF the government from
the environment OF what Ia known In India
as the Bengali element. This type OF super
educated Indian native has undoubtedly been
tiou caused by the partition OF Bengal. This
innovation was initiated by Lord CurZon and
though the agitation against II was never really
popular or In any sense national yet his noisy
Bengal element succeeded In raising Clamor
quite out OF all proportion to their actual mum
bers. aided as they were by the vernaCular
press The further partition of Bengal, re-.
Gently announced, may have the advantage Of
further decentralization of the unwicldy ma.
chine Of teemng millions already divided by
Curzons action
Another great advantage In the change OF
the capital is the fact that Debit is undoubted-
~ much more in the center OF the fighting
races than Calcutta. The great native princes
much more easily can assemble there The
Shikh and the Rajput princes are nearby
the Maharajah OF Kashmir the Gackwar Of
Baroda, the important Nizam Of Hyderabad,
and the head of that well governed state OF
Mysorc. are mostly at no great distance away.
and these all undoubtedly will welcome the
change OF capital.
