Editor Summer Michigan Daily.
Dear Sir:
Our attention has been drawn to
the editorial, in The Summer Daily of
the 26th instant, headed, "Hindu and
Other Radicals." There are state-
ments in the communication referred
to in the editorial, and in parts of
the editorial itself, which are liable to
lead to a misunderstanding of our at-
titude regarding the political situa-
tion in our country. The word "radi-
cal" in India has been associated with
the revolutionary party believing in
violence, and preaching the violent
creed, with their goal nothing less
than complete independence for the
country.
We wish. to make clear, that, none
