AS AN EXAMPLE OF
(HOENESS IN DANGER

Admiral Sir Stanley Colville recently
told of the conduct of the captain and
lieutenant of a British submarine who,
upon discovering that a floating mine
ad become attached to the submarine’s
rudder, calmly sat down to breakfast
and while they ate evolved a success
ful plan for removing the mine. The
I submarine was proceeding through the

J made that it was towing the mine.
i The crew knew nothing of it until they
I were set at work relieving the submar

State for India in Premier Lloyd
George’s cabinet suggests that drastic
changes are contemplated in the Gov-1
crnment of India and that a plan will
be evolved to give the people of India;
an administration bordering on that!
enjcyed by the Dominions.
i
In a speech during the debate in the
House of Comomns on the report of the I
Commission which investigated the!
Mesopotamia expedition, less than a j
week before his appointment was an- i
pounced, Mr. Montagu arraigned the,
system by which India is at present I
governed and declared that the Execu-1
live Government should be made more!
responsible to the people of India He j
suggested that the provinces of India)
■••• made self-governing and federate 11
by a central government, somewhat on i
lines of the government of the Domin
ion of Canada.
While this scheme was maturing. Mr.
Montagu said, it was imperative to give
India “some installment now to show
that you are in real earnest, some be
ginning of the new plan which you in
tend to pursue.”
His appointment so soon after this
speech has led many to believe that
the policy he outlined has been adopt
ed by the government.
Mr. Montagu, who is only thirty
eight years of age, and therefore, a
young man to attain cabinet rank, has
had wide experience in Indian affairs.
He is a member of a family wihch for
years has had large financial interests
n India and was for four years Under
Sacrtary of State for Indja.
