THE latest comments of the British Press on the Jallianwala Bagh __________(9) draw attention to an aspect of the affair that is as important as it is serious.

The paper urges full disclosure of the official communications, and says that “there seems to be another sinister side of Simla involved, which is even more _____________(11) than that exposed in connection with the Mesopotamia campaign,” and exposure, by the way, which led to the famous “too wooden, too iron” speech of the present Secretary of State for India.
