HARDINGE is DEFENDED
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON. July 13.-The announce
ment of the resignation of J. Austen
Chamberlain, secretary for India, which
is the first fruit of the Mesopotamia
commissions report, lent a dramatic
touch to the debate on that report in
parliament. 1t also was announced
that Baron Hardinge, former viceroy
of India and now undersecretary for
foreign affairs, had thrice offered to
resign, but that Mr.. Balfour, the for
eign secretary, had declined to accept
his resignation.
Nothing is known as to whether
other designations are pending. but 1t

Their developments may occur on the

understood that Premier Lloyd George

Balfour Backs Hardinge.

While he admired the dignified state
ment in which Mr.. Chamberlain had
announced his decision. he thought it
right to add that he profoundly dis
scented from Mr.. Chamberlain's deci-
sion. Referring to Lord Hardinge's
resignation, Mr.. Balfour said he did not
propose to accept 1t. as Lord Hardinge
was rendering excellent service in the
foreign office. He thought that Lord
Hardinge had not been fairly treated.
In response to some heckling. the
foreign secretary argued that there
was no reason why Lord Hardinge
should resign because he would have to
appear before the tribunal. He con-
tended that India was not prepared to
help in the. great European war. but
that she had responded nobly at great
risk at home.
A commission upon the happenings on
the western front since the beginning
of the war. said the secretary. might
produce the same kind Of a report in
many respects as that submitted by the
Mesopotamia commission. The debate
was adjourned.
