INDIAN STATUS
DEMAND FOR AUTONOMY COMMITTEE'S REPORT LONDON, Dec. 25. The report by the Indian Central Committee, which shared in the Simon Commission's investigations throughout India, demands an explicit declaration by Parliament that full Dominion status is the goal and that an immediate and substantial step towards the attainment thereof will be made by conferring a liberal measure of autonomy on the provinces and by making the Government of India responsible to the Legislature. It is urged that the Madras ana Bombay governments should be permitted to mako the experiment of raising local armies to maintain internal security in order to prove that Indian suspicions that Britain intends to keep India in subjection by control of the army was unwarranted.
