Refers to Montagu’s letter [about the prosecution of Gandhi] and queries the significance of his comment that firm and steady action must be taken with a view to ‘talk’. He believes that the situation can only be cured by the implementation of a firm policy.

Thanks him for his supportive telegram (A2/3/4). Horniman was deported four days ago. Arrangements had been made to send him to Burma, but the Viceroy preferred England, so he was put aboard the Takada. The main reasons for this action were: (1) Horniman's continued violent attacks on the Government calculated to bring it into hatred and contempt; (2) his constant efforts to breed race hatred; (3) his open advocacy in the Chronicle of law-breaking in connection with the passive resistance movement, and his fomentation of agitation leading to outrages at Ahmedabad and Virangam; (4) that, after publishing a warning addressed to Lloyd by the citizens of Bombay, he allowed an article to appear accusing the British authorities of torture in the Punjab; (5) that he is believed to have planned and organised a campaign of disaffection, and that his propaganda had certainly produced a dangerous situation in the Bombay Presidency and elsewhere. Judicial proceedings had been considered, in place of deportation, but in view of impending Moslem trouble and the highly-charged atmosphere generally, the Viceroy agreed that 'more immediate and certain riddance' was essential. As questions will probably be asked in Parliament, a more detailed letter will follow. All Europeans and moderates support Lloyd's action; the rest of the native press criticises the principle of deportation but has been moderate. The deportation was carried out without any disturbance so far. It is generally agreed that his Government has shown patience and has so far taken extreme action against Europeans only. He has warned agitators that he will only take further action in Bombay city if further disturbances occur, in which case he will punish severely. The censor order on the Chronicle will be removed soon. He hopes that no hope of reprieve will be given when Montagu replies in Parliament, and is confident that, if so, agitation in India will die down. Sir Basil Scott, who will reach England shortly, can give Montagu his opinion; Stanley Reed and the Advocate-General [Thomas Strangman, Advocate-General of Bombay?] are also returning to England soon.

Has received a cheerful letter from O'Dwyer [Lieutenant-Governor of the Punjab]. The deportation of Horniman has been delayed, as he is undergoing an operation, apparently for venereal disease. The situation is improving, but not cleared, and the consequences of peace decisions in regard to Turkey are still to be faced. 'At present, of course, the Mohammedans have no inkling of the possibilities in that direction.'

London - Are any 'distinguished foreigners' attending the celebrations surrounding the the tercentenary of the foundation of Trinity College? JJM would like the Spanish Prince - H.R.H. the Count de Moutemolia - to come.

E. I. Coll. - Thanks WW for his present ['Astronomy and General Physics Considered with Reference to Natural Theology', 1833]: 'I can assure you now with perfect sincerity that I have been quite delighted and much instructed by many parts of the work. Perhaps the very early portion of the volume is not quite so good as the rest; but the great mass is excellent; and on the whole it appears to me that you have brought forward very valuable materials for your purpose, and have arranged and applied them in a very masterly and striking manner. The proof of design are indeed every where and so apparent that it is hardly possible to add much to the force of the argument as stated and illustrated by Paley; but still it is gratifying to contemplate the new illustrations which the almost infinite variety of nature furnishes, and these you have brought forward in abundance'. TRM is not quite so sure about the smaller work WW sent ['On the Uses of Definitions', 1832]: 'I confess I was a little alarmed at it at first; and thought it was an attack upon my definitions in Political Economy, which I certainly do not consider as useless. I agree with you in thinking that new definitions of terms are not always necessary to get at truth; and that the most exact definitions are not so much the causes as the consequences of our advances in knowledge. At the same time, I should say, that in regard to this latter position, they act and react upon each other, and that without some understanding as to the meaning of the words used the advances in knowledge would be very slow, though it might still be quite true that you would not arrive at the very best definitions, till a very great progress had been made. You yourself refer to some definitions which you acknowledge to be useful though they might subsequently give way to others more complete. In Political Economy subsequent to the work of Adam Smith, it might be expected that some facts had been classed which required names in order that we might refer to them, and talk of them; and what I have done chiefly has been to adhere to his meaning of these names, where he had not himself used them in different sense. Surely you must agree with me in the utility of persuading people if possible to use the same terms in same senses. However, TRM understands that WW's attack was on Richard Whately and not him - 'so I will say no more'.
