Viscount Morley in defending the governments policy agreed with I Lord Curzon that the trouble was! largely due to Japan's victory. The government had no reason, he con- j United, to doubt the Ameer's loyalty and friendship and regarding the) Indian agitation it did not intend to adopt the remedy of "martial law and ' damned nonsense" but while the en- j forcing of law and preserving order would not be determined by bombs and outrages it would persevere in the policy of reform in the direction of giving to all grades of Indians "some handling of their own affairs".
