It will he presented with the approval of the Secretary of State for India (Lord Birkenhead |. who does not approve, however, of all the opinions expressed. "Non-co-operation had done little damage to the institutions of selfgovernment," says Professor Williams. "There has been an increase of interest in elections, a higher proportion of voters, and the formation of taxpayers' associations. "Non-co-operation has caused the public to be unsympathetic to the police, on account of the suspicion that the police arc used politically. "Prosperity is increasing. There has been a slight increase in the number of girls educated. Co-operation is increasing. Housing schemes are proceeding, but are hampered by religious animosities. The cost of living is declining. Progress in sanitation is slow. The number of trades unions are. not increasing on account of the fewness of strikes. The most pressing health problem is the appalling infant mortality.''
