THE INDIAN ISSUE SIR, —I have read Professor Eric A. Walker's

comment on my letter on the above subject published in your issue of May 22nd, and lest there might be other Englishmen who share the same view may I draw his attention to the two published volumes of Mr. Lloyd George and Mr. Winston Churchill's replies to my questions in Vol. He of Evidence of the Pint Parliamentary Committee's Report, page 1828. Appropriate quotations therefrom would be too long for reproduction here beyond the short extracts hereinafter, but both the high authorities support my interpretation and contention, which I have set out in greater detail in my published brochure on the subject, entitled Truth about India and The British Pledge to India, of which I have posted a copy to Professor Walker and post another to you. Professor Walker has read both the 7th and the 9th resolutions of the Imperial Conference, will he read Vol. IV of Mr. Lloyd George's Memoirs, pp. 1738-1743 and Vol. I of The Truth about Peace Treaties, in which he sums up the previous decisions as follows : " The Policy of reconstruction which I sketched out—self-government for India and for Ireland—these were some of the reforms I indicated."—Yours, &c.,
