§ Mr. SWANasked the Secretary of State for India whether the police authorities in Burma have from time to time called upon the editors of vernacular papers and threatened them with prose- 1525W cution, deportation, etc., if they continued to criticise the actions of the Government; and whether he will instruct the Government of Burma to see that no pressure of this kind is brought to bear upon the editors of the vernacular press?
§ Mr. MONTAGUI have no knowledge of such action being taken by the police in Burma and think that it is very unlikely to have occurred. I will communicate with the Government of India on the subject.
