Scope and content

Concurs with Chelmsford’s desire for a full inquiry into events in the Punjab: the incorporation of a racial element into orders, as in the case of the order issued by Colonel Hodgson [see A2/18/4b], is particularly objectionable. He plans to propose to his Council that they should instruct the Government of India that, as a cardinal principle, no authority should issue regulations applicable to Indians as such or to Indians only.
