DEMANDED BY BURMA
COMMITTEE TO EXAMINE IDEA
(British Official Wireless.) (Received 2nd December, 11 a.m.) RUGBY, Ist December. ' II is understood that the delegates from Burma to the Indian Round Table Conference will ask for early consideration of the question of separation" of Burma at ihe meeting of the Committee of the whole Conference, to be held this afternoon. It will be recalled that the Simon Commission, impressed by the strength of Burman sentiment in favour of separation and by the constitutional difficulties of giving Burma a satisfactory place in any centralised system on the lines of responsible government in British India, came to the conclusion that "nothing but the most overwhelming considerations could justify the continued retention of Burma within the Government of India."
