§ Sir C. YATEasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether his attention has been called to the proceedings of the Indian Congress held at Mombassa, with the assistance of several delegates from India, in which the Congress passed a resolution demanding the recall of the Governor and refused to adopt a resolution of loyalty to the King, while the chairman warned the Indians that they must be prepared to grapple fearlessly with the Government and to shed their last drop of blood in the cause; and why these delegates from India were ever permitted to land to stir up disaffection in the Kenya Colony?
Mr. THOMASThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. I know of no power under which the landing of the delegates from India to the East African Indian Congress could have been prohibited. Nor do I think that it would in any case have been desirable to prevent their landing.
