BY HAL O'FLAHERTY.
Special Cable to The San Antonio Light
and the Chicago Daily News.
DOWNRIGHT 1924

London, March 1.-Warnings of i'm
pending trouble throughout India ap.
peared today through the British gov.
ernment's refusal to submit the ques.
ton of dominion home rule at a round
table conference.
Tribal violence as well as renewed
activity on the part of passive resis-
lance elements known as Swarejists
must inevitably occupy the ate 1
of British administrators in India,
and at the same time cause grave con-
Germ to the home government.
Five years ago the British Parlia-
ment established the most ambitious
political experiment of laying the
foundation, for a responsible govern
ment in India after n century of COM
plete domination Of the affairs of three
hundred million people. Under the
plan begun in 1919, Parliament under.
took to teach the Indians the art OF
western government by sharing the re.
sponsibility with the Indians them
selves, to whom they pledged gradual
withdrawal of British responsibility
until she had wholly divest-d herself
of administrative cares.
Britain agreed 10 test this system
of cooperation for ten years then OK.
anime the progress made and perhaps
withdraw British influence further.
Demands for immediate extension OF
these reforms have been pressed con-
tinually by a large section of the In.
dian public educated under British
protection. but altogether opposed TO
Foreign Intervention in the country s
affairs. From the time the plan of
cooperation received Parliamentary
sanction these educated Indians have
fought for' complete independence,
using the policy of non-co-operation
preached by Ghandi as their religion.
Their most recent move was the pas
sage through the Indian Parliament
over British opposition of bill call.
ing for conference on the same lines
promised them five years hence. This
demand has been definitely turned
down by the first Socialist Labor gov.
eminent from which India expected to
receive her full powers of dominion
home rule.
Reports from India declare the
home governments refusal is extreme
ly disappointing and under this mild
expression lies a threat by non-co-
operators and others even more VIC.

dare of group of students. The girl
said it was just brush on the
cheek"

clared that Principal Rice was try

instatement of Damon have been sign

printing class asking the students "to

that things go along smoothly. until
this matter has been settled through
the regular channels" This action
quoted talk among the students of
calling a strike to obtain Damon's re-
instatement.
