HOME SUPPORT FOR INDIAN CONSTITUTION.

UNLIMITED SCHEME.

London, June 24. By general consent, the most important constructive suggestion contained in the Indian Statutory Commission's report is the in- sistence on the necessity of guid ing India towards a federal con- stitution. The scheme outlined which is accepted as being fitted to the special conditions of the case, is unlimited except by safe- guards against its own collapse, and in the words of the Man- cheater Guardian shows the way to the goal of a self governing federation unparalleled in the world's history.

In a recent Command. Paper, the House had been given full in formation regarding the interven- tion of the Vatican, in the tan- poral affairs of Island.

Further suggestions for setting. the course towards a new goal of an all-India federation are wel- comed in the Press. The chief re- commendation in this connexion is that for the creation of a con- sultative council of greater India with ten of its thirty members representing Indian states.

The newspapers emphasise how- ever that throughout the whole report there is evidence of the fact that the Commissioners, while looking to the possibilities of the future, never lose sight of the realities of the present.

Moslem Attitude.'

Simla, June 24. The Moslem attitude towards the Simon Report was given by Zafar- ulla Khan to the effect that the Muslim community in the Punjab would approve of certain matters like provincial autonomy, notwith- standing that the operation would be thwarted by reservations.
