The,'limelight has been again thrown on affairs in India by the latest proposals brought down by the British Cabinet in an endeavour to bring some scoff of settlement to the affairs of that gltut country l . ■ The opinljon of thle native pepple has been again aroused anffffhere is a great mistrust expi-essid by them in regard to Great Britain’s intentions, especially in regard to the Central government and tire suggested federation, and until there is a clarity of the position it may safely he assumed that- much of the present _ unrest- will continue; Probably feeling that the need for goodwill in India outweighs the need for a period of experiment, the British Government lias decided to embody the whole Constitution in one Bill 1 -; but the sections dealing with the Provinces will become operative before these dealing with the central Government and the Federation. This po’n.t settled, the Government’s next task is to create in India an atmosphere favourable to the reception of the new Constitution; for Hie success of this very risky experiment will depend largely on the willingness of Theban politic) ms to cooperate "nth British officials,and advisers. At the . moment the- atmosphere- eoulld hardly be worse. There arc special ok'dhnncev i-u force in every province for the purpose of curbing outbreaks of violence, whileninny of the Congress loaders are i v gaol, vet in spite of the precautions in ado there are regular npnoffs of further outbreaks of tei.wist violence. The whole quest'on of India is a most difficult one, and it is going to test both the brains ai d thle patience of British politicians to. bring tint country to sucli a point as will enable peace and progress to make its way and nOlow the country to have the progress that is so sought for.
