Lord Irwin, who is Minister of Education, at the Ceeds Luncheon Club, declared that the problem called for immediate settlement. If not dealt with it might drag on for 20 years, to be faced them by a still greater volume of Indian national opinion that might make the solu tion even more difficult. Viewing the situation from all angles, "this time to act was now, and on the lines of responsibility with safe guards.
