A favourite them with writers on Anglo-Indian life in the past has been the petty, jealousies and bickerings exist- ing between the various services that make up the administrative machinery of government in India. No novel has been 67, QUEEN'S ROAD CENTRAL, considered complete without some refer- ence to the aloofness af the "beuven [born" member of the Indian Civil Service and the stupidity of the Secretariat in the eyes of a policeman or an engineer from Coopers Hill. To-day, among individuals, such jealousies have practically disap- perod. There is no mora significant signi of the tinies than the fact that all over India Englishmen in Government service) have formed themselves into associations in order to present a united front to the attacks which are being made upon them Each province bas its own anociation, in which are represented overy branch and every grada "of the Administration in which Europeans are employed, from High Judges downwarda. The Indisa Civil Servies, the Imperial police, and othar, all-India services have had thair Beveral associations. for purposes chiefly social. The new associations of European Government servants include everybody, LCS, LMS, police, public works, the educational service. In fact, all the Im- perial and provincial services, together with that large body of specialists" who do not belong to the all-India services but are attached to various branches of the Administration.

ECONOMIC PRESSURE.

And what are the grievances that press so hardly on Englishmen in India? A the moment they are largely economic. The future is a matter of high policy which must be determined by Parliament; the proportion of Europeans in the sor vion of India, whether or not the services should be provincialised, whether Euro-

The total increase in prices since 1904 has therefore been 124 per ceat., and to meet this increase, the Services have been given increases of pay which vary from 8 per cent. in the Indian Civil Ser- vice to about 25 per ceat. in the Forest Department These percentages are in marked contrast with those granted to the Provincial Services, which are mainly Indian, and to the subordinated.

Quite erroneous ideas crist as to the propor ition of the revenues of India that are absorbed by payments to Englishmen. The vernacular newspapers and political apeakers never give figures They content themselves with vague generalities about India being bled white," and draw harrowing pictures of the poor cultivator being crushod with taxation in order that the white man may live in luxury. But in 1929 the total cost of all: European Government servante in the Bombay Pre- sidency was 79 lakhs, or 44 per cent. of the total provincial expenditure of 1,809 Jakhs.
