London, Nov. 21.
The Parliamentary Joint Committee on Indian Constitutional Reform, having issued its outline of recommendations for the future Government of India, is the target of criticism from home factions and from India. Still, the outline of steps which will eventually make possible a full Dominion status for India is described in many spheres as the most momentous document in the history of the British Empire.
The Report, briefly, advocates an All-India Federa- tion, embracing eleven British India, provinces, as well as the Indian states under the rule of the princes. This system will be substituted for the present scheme of highly centralised control, though certain subjects, such as finance, currency, national defence and foreign relations are reserved to British control, through the Viceroy.
Those who are dissatisfied with the proposals as they stand at present, look for aid from a Labour Government in Britain, from which reforms may be expected United Press.
