INDIAN FEDERATION
All India' is perturbed at the possibility of the failure of federation as the result of a legal opinion that the Princes of India must share their sovereignty with the Federal Legislature. The legal opinion Is that of Professor J. H. Morgan, K.C., a noted British jurist, who is legal adviser to the Indian Princes. He says the alternative to the sharing of sovereignty is the abandonment of the idea of federation. A committee of the Princes will examine the legal report.
Federation is conditional upon Indian rulers representing not less than half the population of the States signifying their desire for the new Constitution, granted in 1935. The framers of the Act visualised the continued sovereignty of the Princes.
