LACK OF FAITH.
INDIA’S TROUBLE. LORD LYTTON’S FAREWELL. CALCUTTA, Dec. 1. Speaking for the last tune at the annual St. Andrew’s dinner here, Lord Lytton, Governor of Bengal, reviewing his term of office, said: “I am bound to confess that events in Bengal for the last five years have strengthened the case of the critics, rather than that of the friends, of the new constitution. Passive non-co-operaticn, active obstruction, violence and intimidation have all failed, and, lastly, the attempts of Hindus and Moslems to subordinate conununalism to nationalism have also failed.
“The main reason for the present unsatisfactory state of affairs is lack of faith on both sides—of the Indians in the sincerity of the British intentions, and of the British public in Indian friendship. Still in time a spirit of confidence will take the place of this mistrust.
“During my few remaining months in office,” Lord Lytton added, “I am anxious to foster that spirit.”
