Geneva, Dec. 11. The full report about the agree-, ment reached in the Yugoslav Hungarian conflict last Monday night has just been received. The essential feature was the report read by Capt. Anthony Edan whose preamble reminded that the League of Nations Council was not a law court. its utmost powers consisting in an intermediary function in helping parties to the dispute to come to an agreement. The report then condemns the crime and demands that the guilty be brought to justice. He next ex- tols it is the duty of every coun- try to permit no terrorist activity or neglect to repress any subversive preparations against other States. For the League of Nations mem- ber this duty is even greater than

He continued that the present prices were certainly low and "we are ready to co-operate with other producers if necessary in making some sacrifice in order to reduce stocks, although our policy has always been to produce only what we can sell." It is essential, however, for the sacrifice to be reasonable in order to safeguard the Interests of shareholders and at the same time it is necessary to prevent prices rising too rapid- Iy, thereby checking the expanding market."

SELF-GOVERNMENT

London, Dec. 10. In the course of his speech on the recommendations of the Joint Select Committee on Indian con- stitutional reform, Sir Samuel Hoare urged all men of goodwill, both in Britain and in India, to

take the scheme as a whole and to bellave that it was the intention of the Committee and of the Govern→ ment to offer India opportunities for 'self-government in a scheme that would help to keep India for all time a partner with Great Bri- tain and the Empire,

He said the time was overdue to make a further step forward, upon the road of decentralisation. The old Central Government of India was adequate so long as the pro- blems at government were com- paratively simple. As, however, they became more complex and political opinion grew, it became Inevitable that this step on the road of decentralisation should be taken.

The first broad conclusion of the

Committee was that of provincial autonomy, containing within it responsibility for law and order. The second broad conclusion was an All-India Fedération. There

Sir Samuel said the Government considered that the Report's pro- posals would help to keep mdia for an all-time partner of Britain within the Empire. Indian public men had been taught for genera- tions to work on a Westminster would be no All-India Federation model and it had become clearer without effective concession by a and clearer that India's social pro-substantial

SAFEGUARDS Sir Samuel said he would not Another conclusion of the Com- make any optimistic-prophecies, fmittee might be roughly described for he expected that they would as responsibility with safeguards. meet unforseen difficulties and many disappointments. But he thought it probable that the new Constitution would develop along its own distinctive lines, and not along the lines of a Westminster model. It was believed, neverthe- less, that if the Bill were passed. along the general lines of the Re- port, that the Constitution would work.

These precautions were not the creation of theorists who wished to set up a system of checks and balances. They were precautions inhered in existing facts and were not intended to impede the effec- tive working of the Constitution. There were provisions that dealt with the working of the executive of the Legislatures,
