POSSIBILITIES IN INDIA
ATTITUDE TO PROPOSED REFORM. British Wireless. Rugby, Dec. 12 The constitutional reforms proposed for India offer immense possibilities of selfgovernment, according to a Government of India report entitled “India in 193132.” The report states that there is little doubt that large sections of political India will welcome and endeavour to work under the new constitution, and sober opinion reviews the results achieved as solid and satisfactory. In the period reviewed the influence of the Congress party showed a gradual decline. The emergency measures of the Government gradually eliminated subversive activities, and in 1932 convictions for civil disobedience fell from 14,803 in January to 1545 in December. The majority of the persons convicted abstained from further participation in the movement after release.
Nearly 329,000,000 acres, or 34 per cent, of the acreage, was sown with crops. The balance of trade with the United Kingdom moved in favour of India.
