INDIAN CIVIL SERVICE.
EUROPEANS SUPERSEDED.
POLICY OF GOVERNMENT.
CHANGE IN TWELVE YEARS
(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)
WELLINGTON, this day.
Owing to the policy of the Indian Government of Indianising all the Departments of State there will be scarcely an Englishman left on the staffs of the Government services in that country in
15 years, according to Dr. J. A. Dunn, a member of the Indian geological survey staff, who is at present visiting New Zealand.
In an interview, Dr. Dunn said the policy of Indianising the Government services had been going on since 1910, and the Europeans were gradually being superseded by Indians. On the survey staff alone, with the exception of the executive officers, there was an equal proportion of Europeans and Indians, and, if it were found necessary to increase the staff, Indians would be given preference.
Dr. Dunn, who has made an extensive study of earthquake and volcanic conditions in New Zealand, is returning to India, via Australia, in about a month's time. He left to-day for New Plymouth.
