LONDON, March 10 BY The Assoc
ated pressl Edwin S. Moutagu. who
Recently res gued as Secretary for In
dia, was granted an opportunity to de-
fend himself in the House of Commons
tonight against the government and
Earl Curzon. Secretary for Foreign A.
fairs. He maintained that his "dismis-
sal WAS prcteX, and that he had no
option except to refer to Lord Curzon's
private letter in order to defend his
position, because, except Tor that let
ter. the government did nothing Whist
ever although when he sanctioned the
publication OF the Indian dispatch the
ministers had been IN possession of the
dispatch lor torty-cight hours and
made no effort to stop such publication,
which might then have been possible.
II his action was such q grave con-
stltutional outrage. why vas he not
called to account, he asked. especially
as the Cabinet mot the following
Wednesday, yet nothing was done until
Thursday, when he was sumnarilv dis

length into the contents Of Lord Cur

been justified. and repeated that If the
government would allow the publica-
ton of his telegram to Lord Reading.
the Niccroy, it would be found that he
realized the impossibility Of the Allies
fulfilling all the demands made by
India.
He explained that when on a pre-
vlous occasion he had been on the
point of resigning on account of dis
agreement with the governments Near
Eastern policy the government had
treated him very onsiderately, repre-
senting that his resignation would
have disastrous effec. on the Mahom
etans III India, and he wished to en-
phasize that his res esgnation now did
not mean rejection OF the right to
consideration Of the terms put forward
in behalf Of the Moslems Of India.
Austen Chamberlain. the govern
ment leader briefly defended the ac-
tion Of the ministers and reiterated
that the Prime Minister knew nothing
Of the publication Of the Indian state
ment until he read it in Thurs days
