The European Association’s preliminary statement on reform proposals declines to pass summary judgment till the fundamental question of electorates is settled. The Association is not hostile to the principles of compartmental transfer of responsibility but considers that the Indian ministers are judgeable by the attitude towards the reserved rather than the transferred subjects. The statement urges communal representation for Indians and representation of non-official Europeans supplementing commercial representation. The Association strongly disapproves changes in the Government of India till provincial experiment proves successful and condemns too rapid Indianisation of Civil Service.
