(Continued from Page 1.)

two great experiments of the all- India federation and provincial antonomy.

They had been apperied to by Mr. Sapru not to adopt a non- possumus attitude, and he re- sponded to that appeal, but be- cause of his doubts he was bound to adopt a non-committal atti- tude to the question of responsi- bility at the centre.

Mr. Sapru then asked Sir Samuel Hoare to contemplate a federation without responsibility at the centre.

Sir Samuel Hoare replied that he wished to see the completed picture before answering and the Chairman said that, the committee must now start and fill in the pic-

ture.

Moslems' Offer.

|

The Indian Cabinet would not be unitary as the word was understood in Britain, and if the Viceroy were not the effective head of the Executive Govern- ment, how could he exercise his reserved powers.

Conference to End. Reuter understands that in view of the progress made and the fact that all reports of the sub- committees will be submitted about the end of next week, the Indian Round Table Conference will terminate on January 21, the majority of delegates returning on January 23.
