DOMINION STATUS
THE GOAL FOR INDIA , , DEMAND FOR EXPLICIT DECLARATION London, December 25. A report by the Indian Central Committee, which shared. the Simon Commission’s investigations throughout India, demands an explicit declaration by Parliament that full Dominion status is the goal, and that an immediate substantial step toward the attainment of this be made by conferring a liberal measure of ..autonomy on the Provinces and making the Government of India responsible to the Legislature. It is urged that the Madras and Bombay Governments be permitted to experiment in the raising of local armies to maintain internal security and order and prove that Indian suspicions that Britain intends to keep India in subjection by control of the army are unwarranted.
