A6 THE PRINCESPROPLSE DOMNON PLAN Claim Indian Radicals Will Call Off Agitation if Accept- ed by Britain. BY CARROLL BINDER. By Radio to The Btar. LCNDON, England, September 9.— ‘This writer today obtained from London representatives of the Indian princes de- talls of a project for dominion govern- ment which they are submitting to the forthcoming round-table conference. This scheme was recently approved h; a conference of the premiers of 19/ first-class states of Northern India and also by important South Indian states. | The sponsors eclaim also that the scieme enjoys the support of the Liberals of British India and profess to believe that if the British government should accept and try it out, the more radical Indian National Congress move- ment would call off the non-co-opera- tion agitation to give such a form of | cominion status a fair trial. Something for Argument, However dubious that prospect ap- | pears at this hour of passionate Sll‘ilt.‘ the project is significant evidence of the | Italian Flag Dragged in Mud and Nationalist spirit abroad in sections of India once famed for deference to Brit- ish rule. It also demonstrates that the | round table will have something to argue about, despite the absence of the Gandbhites, for whim it was primarily | intended. | The project embodies the following | provisions: | 1. Full and responsible government in | the provinces. 2. A liimted degree of responsible gov- | ernment, resembling monarchy, in the | states. | 3. A central federal government con- sisting of representatives both of the states and the provinces, with a bi- cameral Legislature. The Lower House, which it is suggested should include 73 | representatives of states in a member- ship of 320, would be elected by uni- versal suffrage. The Senate of 100 mem- | bers would include 23 state representa- tive who would be nominated. The governor general also would nominate | a certain number of Senators, while the remainder would be elected by a re- | stricted electorate. | ‘Would Represent Crown. 4. The governor general would be ap- | Rcinud by and would represent the | ritisn crown in India. 5. The states would name three min- | isters in a cabinet of 15 members, | which would be responsible for the re- lationships of the states with the rest of India. 6. Membership in this proposed Fed- erated India would be voluntary and | non-participation of a certain number of the 567 states is presumed. The plan does not involve the pre- | round table commitments by Great Britain about the Indian right to se- cede from the empire or about Indian control of defense, such as the Gand- hiites ask, but it involves a far-reach- ing demand for home rule. It goes far beyond ns of the Simon report and it remains to be seen ‘whether the Labor government is will- ing or able to make such concession or ;—m:fier :':ch a ::rm of government is easible a backward and varied region like India.
