A SOLUTION FOR INDIA
stit,—In your issue of October roth, Mr. Griffin asserts that the panacea for India's ills is democracy, by which he apparently means Government by the Indian National Congress. People 'often inquire what precisely is the form of government which Congress would set op if it found itself in control. Mr. Subhas Bose, ex-President of Congress, in his book The Indian Struggle, supplies the answer. He defines it as " a strong central Government with dictatorial powers— a Government by a strong party bound together by military discipline, as the only means of holding India together when Indians are free and are thrown entirely on their own resources." If this is what Mr. Griffin means by democracy, I can merely reply that we speak a different language.—Yours faithfully, - H. G. RAWLINSON.
