PROHIBIT ON FOR INDIA. DRASTIC PROPOSALS OF BOMBAY COMMITTEE.

Total prohibition in India is a not no mote possibility, and the drastic proposals of the Committee appointed by the Bom bay Government are expected to provide an impetus to the movement throughout fadin, overthrowing the existing Excise policy, says a Calcutta correspondent in a wire of May 3rd,

The association had, ho said, decided to take the neces sary steps to escortain whether,. in prin. ciple, the producer-members of the association were willing to co-operate in selling their rubber.
