Curzon quits as viceroy after clash over army plan
London dispatch reports Lord Curzon of Kedleston resigns as viceroy of India amid bitter firings with the India office and Lord Kitchener over a new army administration plan. The resignation was cabled August 12 and followed by protracted exchanges with Mr. Broderick and Mr. Balfour. The government’s rejection of Curzon’s preferred Maj. Gen. Barrow appointment sparked the forceful break, with Curzon insisting the policy could not be carried out. He leaves England while voicing deep disagreement with the new organization. He notes that his loyalty began the undertaking and his resignation comes from the belief that conflicts with the government were inevitable.
