BIRKENHEAD ON INDIA.
THE FALLACY OF NATIONALISM.
REFORM THAT HAS TO BE TESTED.
A large number of Peers, and visitors listened to Lord Birkenhead's statement en Indian affairs in the House of Lords on July 7th..
"
Lord Birkenhead referred to the discus Aions between himself and Lord Reading (the Viceroy) and said the Government was far too conscious of the implication of the Montagu-Chelmsford Constitution to find it possible even to think of con- clusions until certain indispensable ante- cedent steps had been taken. Before any decisions were taken it was obvicus that the consideration and advice of the Gov. ernment of India must be formally in- roked, and the opinion of the Legis lative Assembly must be elicited,“
Dur problem always had been one of prodigious difficulty. It was to accoin- modate the minds of the East to those of the West, or the minds of the West to those of the East. It was extremely important that they should realize with precision what was done by the Govern ment of fadia Act of 1918.
He would be failing, in his duty if he did not make plain his clear and Befinite impression that the tactics hitherto pur- sued by the most highly organised party in India could not have been more hap-. pily conceived if they had been subtly intended to forward the cause of re- Letion.
We had been confronted everywhere by those who were our principal opponents. with a blank wall of negation.
· Tu talk of India as an entity was as absurd as to talk of Europe as an entity. Yet the very nationalist spirit which had created most of our difficulties in the last few years was based upon the aspirations and claims of a nationalist. India.
There never had been such a nation. Whether there ever would be such a nation the future alone could show...
One of the greatest anxieties which confronted them in India today was the divided communal differeners which 70,000,000 of Moslems from the vast Hindu population. If we withdrew from Indin to-morrow the immediate' conse- quence would be a struggle à l'autrance betweert the Moslems and the Hindu po- pulation,
He could not say that the Montaga- Chelmsford reform had failed. It had never been given a chance. Not all the resources of a very adroit and sophisti cated party had availed to destroy this experimental Constitution, and in- dred, continued Lord Birkenhead, I who was prepared to curse, am, apon the balance of the whole matter, inclined. to bleak."
Parliacient declared that after" the period of ten years the Montagu-Chelms- ford Constitution should be revised by It would un-" a Royal Commission. doubtedly require such revision, and it could not be too plainly stated that everything would necessarily be thrown into the melting-pot: Diarchy itself was very obviously not a sacred principle. It must be decided by results.
AN OFFER TO CRITICS. There would and there could be no reconsideration until they saw every- where among the responsible leaders of Indian thought evidence of sincere und genuine desire to co-operate with us in making the best of the existing Consti- tution. Lord Birkenbead added:--
If our crities in India are of opinion that their greater knowledge of Indian to Accred conditions qualifies them where they tell us wo have failed, let them produce a constitution which car. ries behind it a fair measure of general agreement among the great peoples of India,
Waa
Such a contribution to our problems would nowhere be resented. It would, on the contrary, be most carefully ex- amined by the Government of India, by myself, and by the Commission wherever that body might be assembled. An essential factor of India's advance towards responsible. Government to Indian, minds the possession of a national army, but here again we were in the region of a very delicate experi ment. The method adopted was that of the complete but gradual Indianisation, as an experiment, of eight-units, The process was necessarily slow and was. limited in scope.by the paucity of mate- At present there was difficulty in finding enough" Indiau" cadets up to Sandhurst standards even for these eight units. Until this experiment had proved a success it was not proposed to ge beyond it. No sane Government would allow its army to become the toy of political parties

Passing next to the position of the Servis, Lord Birkenhead said he would welcome signs that the provisions in the Reform Act reserving to the Secretary State a considerable measure of direct responsibilities for the Indian Services Unfortunately, such were unnecessary. signs were still rare, and until public servants, both English and Indian, could feel in India as they could elsewhere that unfair and captions criticism of their action would be neither voiced nor tolerated by public opinion, the reserva tion would remain justiñed and neces
sary.
