INDIAN MOSLEM A ^PREHENSIONS.
The Committee of the London All-India
Moslem League have addressed to the Foreign
Office a representation on “ the extreme gravity
of the situation the latest development of
Italian activity in the Dardanelles and the
ASgean Sea is creating in the East." They have
reason to fear that the direct and immediate
result of_ the situation will be to imperil large
bodies of Musulmans from India as well as the
frontier to endeavour to reach the seat of war
as volunteers, and it would be impossible for
his Majesty’s Government to repress the move
ment without risk of great unpopularity.
Attention is called to the extreme incon
venience to Musulman pilgrims and the loss to
Indian commerce occasioned by the Italian
blockade of the Red Sea ports. The Committee
have been requested by many of their Indian
co-religionists to submit that the injury caused
by the Italian action has been far greater than
is usually imagined. Large bodies'of pilgrims
have been unable to leave Hefijaz for fear of
capture by the Italian ships of war, and the
suffering and distress among them is very great.
The Committee pray his Majesty s Government
“ to take such steps as they may consider
expedient to prevent the further development
of a situation which they really fear will prove
most prejudicial to the interests of humanity
and to progress in the Eastern World.”
