WHAT INDIA NEEDS.

LORD LOTHIAN’S VIEWS. COMMITTEES’ INVESTIGATIONS. DELAY DEPRECATED. (Official Wireless.) (Received May 20, 10.57 a.m.) RUGBY, May 19. Lord Lothian, chairman of the Indian Finance Committee, reached England to-day, having travelled from India by air. He referred in a statement to the interest tlie various committees appointed after the Round-table Conference, had aroused in India, and paid tribute to the co-operation and friendliness displayed towards the members.

LORD LOTHIAN. He added: “Indian public opinion has certainly taken a most lively interest in our proceedings, and will take a not less lively or controversial interest hi our proposals when they are published early next month. There is no doubt that the dominant feeling in India to-day is a desire that the Government and Parliament should come to decisions about the new constitution without tlie least possible delay. During the last four years committees have been touring India and a conference lias been held in England on every aspect of the new constitution. What the people in India want to-day, British business men and civil servants, no less than the Indians themselves, is to know where they are. The sooner decisions can be taken, and, if possible, agree to decisions and action taken upon these decisions, the better will India be pleased and the sooner will political conditions settle down.
