INDIA BILL'S

SECOND READING

NEXT MONTH

Composition Of The Federation

EXERCISE OF EXECUTIVE

AUTHORITY DEFINED.

London, To-day. The great length of the Gov ernment of India bill, which will come before the House of Com 'mons for its second reading on February 5 or 6, is more appar- ant than real.

The bill has to provide for three separate entities, namely, the Indian Federation, the Indian' Provinces, which with the Native States will compose the Federa- tion, and Burma.

In order to avoid a complex and confusing presentation by resorting to a system of references, and to ensure that the 150 clauses of the bill dealing with Burma are complete in themselves, there are many ro petitions. If account is taken off

them the bill might be said to be only one-half its apparent length.

ACCESSION TO FEDERATION With regard to the entry of the Native States into the Federation it is proposed that, immediately after the bill has been passed, the Crown should enter into negotiation with the States individually for the con- clusion of their accession to the Federation.

same name.

they were happy. He would not willingly have changed places with them, because he would not have known what to do with poverty. But his own money did not bring him any joy. He had been so safe, so rich, and sad too long. It seem ed to him now that he had been melancholy since the day of his birth, thirty years ago. He could not escape from this melancholy any more than he could escape from a kind of conscious sense of his own superiority which weighed heavily on his spirits.
