tended-the folly Of the government in
liberating Sim Fein prisoners and re

in England. These papers regard the
situation as gravely threatening, for
they see nothing in the Sim Fein move
ment but rebellion.

London, July 12.-The announcement
of the resignation of J. Austen Cham
berlain, Secretary for India, which is
the first fruit OF the Mesopotamia Com
missions report, lent a dramatic touch
20 the debate on that report in Parlia-
mont to-day. Il was also announced
that Baron Hardinge, former Viceroy
Of India and now Under Secretary for
Foreign Affairs, had thrice offered to
resign, but that A. J. Balfour. the For
eign Secretary. had declined to accept
his resignation.
Nothing Is known as 10 whether
other designations are pending. but
1t is considered possible that further
developments may occur on .he return
Of the King 70 the capital. II is under
stood that Premier Lloyd George and
Mr. Chamberlain's colleagues have done
his resignation. but without avail
Great sympathy is felt for Mr.. Cham
berlain. who is regarded as the victim
OF the peculiar Indian administrative
system.
Mr.. Chamberlain made the announce
ment himself in the House. in a speech
defending his position as affected by
the commissions report. The report
has proved a severe blow TO the gov
eminent. which had 70 make a further
concession 10 popular resentment.
Whltewashing Is Charged

commissions condemnation, MI BAL

announced that the government was
willing to set up tribunal by statute
competent TO deal with both soldiers
and civilians, instead OF an inquiry tri-

visers had recommended it as the
proper course He invited the House
20 consider what the commission would
have said had they ignored the advice
Of the military experts. He would not
say a word in excuse of the horrible
breakdown in the medical service, but
sixteen months ago he had, through
Lord Hsrdinge, warned the military
authorities Of the possibility Of such
a breakdown, and had his warning been
acted upon a breakdown would have
been avoided.
Defends Lord Hardinge
Defending Lord Hardinge, he said
that the gravest charge the commits
sion had 70 bring against him was that
he trusted too implicitly in military az
fairs 20 the military advisers, and
failed 70 use his great authority 70
overrule them.
Mr.. Balfour said II was inevitable
when such unfortunate events occurred
that there should be a passionate de-
sire that some one be punished, but IL

that that natural desire should never
exceed the bounds Of strict justice.

Referring to Lord Hardinge's resig-
nation. Mr. Balfour said he did not pro-
pose to accept it, as Lord Hardinge was
rendering excellent service in the For
eign Office He thought that Lord
Hardinge had not been fairly treated.

The debate was adjourned.
