Excerpt from Report on Indian Constitutional Reforms

Having now completed the inquiry which we were directed to undertake in the decision announced in the House of Commons eight months ago, we beg to lay before His Majesty's Government this report of the conclu sions to which we have come, touching the constitutional changes which are desirable in India, and to ask their assent to its publication. 2. We have a preliminary point to make. It has been asked The in nir h oh why the Secretary of State and the Govern affected ar Zfiorfis n ment Of India are devoting t1me and energ1es to the task of domestic reconstruction, when the whole activities of the authorities and the country ought to be bent to the supreme purpose of the war. Our report will, we hope, Show how strong in themselves are the reasons for not postponing the consideration of reforms. We can add that the calm atmosphere in which we hoped that our inquiry might be conducted has been attained; and this has in itself been of no small assistance to the Government. It would be easy to rebut the criticism by a specific recital of the part that India has played in the war. But we wish to avoid any appearance of either apology or glorification; and there fore we prefer to meet it Simply by the formal and definite assurance, made with a full sense of responsibility, that the energies Of the Government have at no time been diverted from the war by other considerations however important.
