LONDON, Oct. 22 — Plans formu
lated by the British government for
granting a larger measure of self
government to the people of India
were explained to the Associated
Press correspondent by Edwin S. Mon
tagu, secretary of state for India. Mr.
Montagu, who is soon to start for
India, said:
“My journey to India is the direct
outcome of the government's an
nouncement in parliament that its
policy in India Is to develop self
governing Institutions with a view.
to the progressive realization of rep-1
resentative government.
“Do ry>t misunderstand me. This
ideal of ours must be approached by
j easy stages. The man who thinks that
home rule for India Is a practical
policy is either wholly ignorant of the
situation or designedly mischievous.
teps toward responsible government
will be taken at different rates by dif
ferent parts of India. Great provinces
will fit themselves for it at different
times. But the great thing is that we
are firmly on the path toward the end
which we all. British and Indian alike,
iirou c.
‘‘The, measures that we adopt must
be adequate. They must show real
progress War's vast upheaval ha*
stirred all people's, not only In Russia,
not only in western Europe, but in
China and India as well. Everybody
wants to be assured that the world,
their own little world, as -well as the
big world, is a better world after the
war. India, equally with the rest of
the world, has a right to demand pro
gress, and real progress.
“So we are adopting the direct and
business-like method — and 1 am go
ing to India to consult with the peo
ple there and bring back the results
of my conferences and inquiries to be
put before parliament as the basis for
a law which shall mean progress In
its widest and best sense.
“We have set ourselves avowedly to
the enormous task of improving the
conditions and life of the people, to
guarding them, against famine and
against wars external and internal so
that they might live and learn and
develop their great resources unhin
dered and in peace.
“One of the most striking evidence^
— “•— — .—
irrigation enterprises, which are even
vaster than the greatest of your own
enormous irrigation exploits, aud
which have reclaimed literally thou
sands of «quare miles of desert. But
it is still a country of poverty. The
majority of the people live on a few
rupees a month, and it takes three I
rupees to make an American dollar.
Their country has vast resources
awaiting development, but the people
are still very poor. Only abont ten
per cent of the population can read
and write.
mum b gieaieBt terror, me spectre
of famine, has practically disappeared
owing to irrigation and the develop
ment of transport by railway, canal
and river. A season of famine, which
a generation ago meant hundreds of
thousands of deaths, now means only
discomfort and strain. As we have
conquered famine, so we shall sur
■ mount the educational difficulties.
“Electoral bodies have sprung up,
and there are in most provinces today
councils which have power to pass
resolutions and act in an advisory ca
pacity, although they have little re
sponsibility of real power. The mem
bers of these legislative units have be
gun to tire of a situation in which they
are little more than debaters, and we
shall be glad to provide food for this
developing civic appetite.
“Today the British people have be
gun to realize that India has proved
herself worthy of a larger part in the
imperial plan. India is now assured
of a place in all future imperial war
I conference*.
“Further steps toward responsible
government will be taken as a result
of my trip to India — steps which I
trust will be convincing and satisfying
to the great body of educated public
opinion in that country."
