INDIAN REFORM
PRINCES AND THE BILL REASSURING LEGAL OPINION (Received April 15. 7.15 p.m.) LONDON, April 15 The special correspondent of the Dailv Telegraph savs Sir William Jowitt. K.C., Mr. J. H. Morgan, K.C., and Mr. E. E. Edwards, as legal advisers to the Indian Princes, have considered the India Bill. Their opinion is that it gives complete reassurance to the Princes that their position will be adequately safeguarded. The Princes were doubtful whether the powers of the Federal Government were,strictly defined. The legal view is that they are as strictly defined and limited as is possible in an Act of Parliament.
When the Princes, on February 25, resolved that the bill should be amended, the full opinion of the jurists was not before them.
