INDIA AND SWARAJ

[To the Editor of THE SPECTATOR.] SIR,—In his letter on " India preparing for Swaraj," pub- lished in your issue of June 12th, Mr. J. D. Jenkins- writes that, while the Congress Party has begun electioneering operations in every Province, " Non-Congress Nationalists, Democrats, Progressives, non-Brahmins, European Associa- tions, the Depressed Classes, Anglo-Indians, the Muslim Community, indeed all the ' Minority ' Parties, are still groping in the dark."

As regards the European Association (there is but one), Mr_ Jenkins is mistaken. Its members know very well where they stand, and what is necessary to be done. They are doing it.

I think it probable that Mr. Jenkins is equally mistaken as to other non-Congress " minority parties."—Yours, &c.,
