Sir,
I am directed "by the Secretary of State for India
to transmit for the information of the Secretary of State
for Dominion Affairs copy of a letter addressed to the
Foreign Office, relating to the "Hindustan Ghadr," the organ
of the Ghadr party, published in San Francisco.
2.    Mr. Amery feels that the Canadian authorities may
not "oe aware of the objectionable contents of recent issues
of this paper and of the undesirable influences which it must
exercise from the wider Imperial point of view on Indians in
British Colombia.      It is known that a large number of Indians
there are in receipt of this paper.     He would accordingly
suggest that, should Viscount Cranborne see no objection,
the matter might be brought to the notice of the Canadian
Government.      I am to add that the import of this paper into
India is prohibited by notification of the Government of India
and that steps have been taken to prevent it reaching Indians
in this country who are known to be subscribers to it.
I am,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
(Signed) C. H. SILVER.

Dominions Office,
