FUTURE OF INDIA
PROCLAMATION BY VICEROY HOUSE OF COMMONS DEBATE ATTITUDE OF LABOUR PARTY ji COmclal Wireless) RUGBY, Feb. 12 The Viceroy of India’s proclamation at the outbreak of war and the emergency Orders-in-Council promulgated under it require renewal before the end of six months, which now have almost expired. The House of Commons will accordingly be asked on Thursday to give the proclamation and Orders-in Council legality for a further six months by a motion approving of the new set of draft orders. It is understood that the Labour Party has decided that the time is inappropriate for its general discussion about India’s constitutional future, and it is anticipated that the debate will not travel much outside the issues raised by the orders themselves.
