Sept. 4th——A Reuter cable from Madras reports that in the course of a speech in the Madras Legislature, Lord Willingdon deciared that the re- lig'ous fanaticism of the Moplahs was the insirument used by the leaders Qf a widespread ard dangerous organization, whe were only watching for an oppor- tunity to attempt to violently overthrow the Govt, and the whole civil adminis- tration. Although the policy of the Govt. had been as far as possible, to avoid exciting public opinion. they were ready to enforce observance of law and order and to punish ithe guilty. Lord Willingdon repeated a warning that the Moplah propaganda would inevitably cul- minate in chaos and disorder and he appealed to members to exert their ef- forts to refute ‘the misinterpretations of the actions and motives of the Govt. and to encourage the people to resist the intolerable terrorism which was the very antithesis of lißerty.

The present is the reality with which we have to deal.
