KUMAR PREDICTS REVOLT IN INDIA
-------------------

Hindus Must Be Admitted to Canada, He Declares.

-------------------

Manila, June 8.—A revolution in India was predicted by G. D. Kumar who
has just returned from Hongkong, if Hindus are excluded from Canada.
Kumar, representing the Kumagaters(Sic), an organization of Manila
Hindus, made a tour of Asia to investigate the situation, and on his arrival here
sent the following cablegram to Premier Asquith, Premier Borden of Canada
and Baron Charles Hardinge, Viceroy of India:
“A revolution will start in India if Hindus are not allowed to land at
Vancouver.”
The cablegram was signed: “The Hindus of Manila.”
Kumar declared he found the Hongkong Hindu regiments and the
Singapore Hindu battalions ready to revolt, and asserted that all of the Hindus
of the Far East were resentful over the proposed exclusion.
