What the Indian Moderate peans by this phrase is that the Government of India shall be responsible to, and
removable by, an elected Central Legislature, while foreign affaira and relations with Indian States are left for the prescht to be con- ducted by the Viceroy who will also control the Army. The money
for the maintenance of the army would not be voted yearly by the Legislature. Instead, an annual allowance would be agreed upon for a term of years. For any excess over that allowance or for a renewal of the agreement the sanction of the Legislature would be required.*
An Acceptable Arrangement. There can be little doubt that the British Cabinet, if it chose, could reach an agreement on these lines with Moderate India, including the experienced Brahmin statesmen like
Our case rests heavily on those of us who urge objections "to a settle ment on these lines. Let us, then, state our case, not from any desire
to make mischief but in the hopes that full discussion may prove use-

Well, there are a number of ob- jcctions to a settlement on these lines. They can all be suggested by the questions. Would it work! Would it not merely lead us into a situation more embarrassing and more dangerous than that from which we are anxious to escape 7
Religious Jealousies. .......- To begin with, it must be re- membered that, though Moslem, Hindu, and Sikhall agree that the Government of India should be
made responsible to an Indian Legislature, they have very dif- ferent ideas as to the manner in which that Legislature should be composed and as to the extent of its right to enforce its will against the will of the minority community Even if the representatives of the Hindus, Moslems, and Sikhs should
Hindus, Moslems, and Sikhs could be made to vanish, all the other dif ficulties in the way of self-govern- ment would lose three-quarters of their substance. But it is surely plain that such mutual suspicions, rooted in history between commu- nities permanently separated by the prohibition of intermarriage, cannot be suddenly eradicated or greatly mitigated by any formala agree- ment. The memory of wrongs done, and suffered in the past can only be erased by the experience of years of fair and just dealing. When the communal majorities in the new Provincial Legislatures have satisfied the communal minor- ities that they will give dair play to all, then there will be no danger in making the Central Executive responsible to the Central Legisla

Foreign Relations.. The next question to consider is whether the Viceroy can effectively. conduct India's foreign relations while India's domestic policy is controlled by him. The answer is
No." surely
Foreign relations depend upon domestic policy. Sup- pose Japan complains of an Indian tariff.
