ADVICE TO Nationalist or Opposition Group in Legislative As- sembly Stresses Hope for Dominion Status as Soon as Possible WARNING GIVEN TO EXTREMISTS Three Killed in Mysterious Bomb Outrage--Thirteen Bengal Students Arrested for Making Bombs and Spreading Seditious Lit- erature (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) New Delhi, India, Jan. 26.-- Viceroy Lord Irwin, speaking be- fore the legislative assembly .to- day, took full responsibility for the statement he made on his return from Great Britain regesding ul- timate dominion status for India. a statement which caused a con- siderable flurry in British and Indian politics at the time, He said that his intention was to focus attention on three salient points: (1) That while no British gov- ernment could prejudice what ft would recommend to parliament after consideration of the Simon commission report, it restated in unequivocal terms that goal of British policy toward India. (2) It emphasized Sir John Simon's assertion that the facts of the situation necessitated a con- structive attempt to face the prob- lem of the Indian states with re- gard to treaties regulating thelr position toward the British erown. (3) It intimated the intention of His Majesty's government to convene a round table conference beforo it formulated any conclu- sions. "That statement stands as 1 made it," sald Lord Irwin, "and in the light of the appreciation which I formed of the principal elements with which we all have to deal and with full knowledge that weight must necessarily attach to the considered opinion of any one holding my present office, 1 should have felt I failed in my duty to India and Great Britain if I had tendered any different ad- vice to His Majesty's government." The moderate Nationalist group which constitutes the official op- position in the legislative assembly later issued a statement with ref- erence to the Viceroy's speech, It reads: -- . "We think the general effect of the Viceroy's speech will be to create tho impression that domin- ion status is a distant goal for In- dia which has to be reached by a long journey. We htink the su- preme need of tho hour was a statement creating a better atmos- phere for the round table confer- enco strengthening the hope for achievement of dominion status at the earliest possible moment. We hold the view that in the early establishment of dominion status lies the solution of present diffi- culties."

Royalist Challenge To French Leon Daudet Returning from Exile, Throws De- fiance to Government ----- (By Josephine Hambleton, Cana- dian Press Staff Correspondent) Paris, Jan. 25.--The return of Leon Daudet to French soil after 29 months of exile opens the sec- ond act of an inplacable struggle. Leon Daudet is a Royalist leader. But to the Republican government which pardoned him and brought him back he throws this categori- cal defiance: . "I owe no thanks to the govern- ment of the republic for recalling me from exile. My decision to pur- sue the chastisement of the police officers, assassins of my son, to flay the srvil and corrupt magistrates, is vunaltered. My .will to destroy the regime which debases, ruins and strangles France is unchange- able."

"The copy of the declaration now in Toronto appears to be one fronr which the present copy at Washing- ton was drafted.
