I think a good deal of light on the question of the underlying causes will be found in the recently-issued interim report of the committee that was appointed to investigate into the riots in Burma last year. These underlying causes are examined in detail by the committee under the following heads: The unsatisfactory conditions of land tenure; the effect of Indian immigration, particularly of Indian labour, and the participation of Indians in the economic life of Burma; the marriage of Burmese women with foreigners in general, and Indian in particular; the Press, and other political influences.
