21 SEPTEMBER 1918, Page 3

We have read with great sympathy a leading article in

the Times of Tuesday which pressed for the publication of the Rowlett Report on the criminal conspiracies in India. As the Times points out, the information contained in this Report is an essential part of the evidence required by people who wish to make up their minds about the Montagu Report. We rejoice to find the Times showing signs of great uneasiness at the manner in which the Government have allowed Mr. Montagu to try to get his principles accepted, while keeping back information "about the many representations made to him during his recent visit to India."
