We have received a copy of the resolutions adopted by
the Committee of the London Branch of the All-India Moslem League on Thursday week. The Committee record their "extreme regret and disappointment" at the telegram from Lord Minto, communicated by Lord Morley to the House of Lords on the 4th inst., as being " absolutely at variance with the repeated assurances by which the Mohammedan subjects of his Majesty were given to understand their demands for separate representation through all stages and in excess of their numerical strength were definitely and unequivocally conceded." These assurances were originally conveyed in Lord Minto's reply , to the Mohammedan deputation on October 1st, 1906. They were endorsed by Lord Morley in the House of Lords on February 23rd, 1909, when he stated that the Government were prepared to meet these demands in full.
