# White Paper on Indian States (1950)/Part 9/Need for Caution

Need for Caution
200. While federal financial integration can, on the whole, be regarded as ultimately having satisfactory results from the purely financial point of view, there is obvious need to proceed with caution, especially in the first three or four years. From the point of view of the States themselves, it is difficult to make any reasonably precise estimates of the results of federal financial integration upon their revenues. Even so, those States which will directly profit from federal financial integration, viz., PEPSU, Madhya Bharat and perhaps Rajasthan, need hare no cause for anxiety, though in the case of the last two, there will be the problem of replacing internal customs duties by sales tax. As regards those States which will incur a loss in consequence of federal financial integration viz., Hyderabad, Mysore, Trevancore-Cochin and Saurashtra, none except perhaps Travancore-Cochin, need have cause for concern in the first five years, since their losses will be fully re-imbursed to them by guaranteed subventions from the Centre already referred to in an earlier paragraph and since internal customs duties (in Hyderabad and Saurashtra) will be abolished only gradually. In the excepted case, the immediate abolition of internal customs duties, necessitated by the formation of the Union of Travancore and Cochin, will ​involve a loss of the order of rupees ten millions; but it is expected that this will be largely offset by the sales tax recently introduced in Travancore, by increased food subsidies and Grow-More-Food grants and loans from the Centre, and by the special guarantee arrangement devised for this State for the first three years.
201. After the first five years, however, it will be necessary in the case of Mysore, Travancore-Cochin, and Saurashtra, to replace a diminishing Central guarantee by revenue from alternative sources. But there is no cause for undue anxiety on this account, especially as the matter will be the subject of careful review by the Finance Commission to be appointed under Article 280 of the New Constitution. In the meanwhile, however, the finances of these, and indeed of all, States will require careful nursing. In the words of the Committee—

# William Blake (Symons)/Extract from 'a Book for a Rainy Day'

Extract from 'A Book for a Rainy Day'
[1784].—This year Mr. Flaxman, who then lived in Wardour Street, introduced me to one of his early patrons, the Rev. Henry Mathew, of Percy Chapel, Charlotte Street, which was built for him; he was also afternoon preacher at Saint Martin's-in-the-Fields. At that gentleman's house, in Rathbone Place, I became acquainted with Mrs. Mathew and her son. At that lady's most agreeable conversaziones I first met the late William Blake, the artist, to whom she and Mr. Flaxman had been truly kind. There I have often heard him read and sing several of his poems. He was listened
​ ​to by the company with profound silence, and allowed by most of the visitors to possess original and extraordinary merit.'
# William Blake (Symons)/Extract from Varley's Zodiacal Physiognomy

(VI.) EXTRACT FROM VARLEY'S ZODIACAL PHYSIOGNOMY. 1828.
John Varley, astrologer and water-colour painter, was introduced to Blake by Linnell, and it was for him that Blake did the 'visionary heads' described by Allan Cunningham, p. 420 below. 'The Ghost of a Flea' exists in both forms described by Varley, in a sketch of the head (which he reproduces, engraved by Linnell, in a plate at the end of his book, together with two other heads in outline), and in a full-length picture in tempera. The passage which follows is taken from pp. 54, 55 of 'A Treatise on Zodiacal Physiognomy; illustrated with engravings of heads and features; accompanied by tables of the times of rising of the twelve signs of the Zodiac; and containing also new and astrological explanation of some remarkable portions of Ancient Mythological History.' By John Varley. London: Printed for the Author, 1828.]
EXTRACT FROM VARLEY'S ZODIACAL PHYSIOGNOMY
With respect to the vision of the Ghost of the Flea, seen by Blake, it agrees in countenance with one class of people under Gemini, which sign is the significator of the Flea; whose brown colour is appropriate to the colour of the eyes in some full-toned Gemini persons. And the neatness, elasticity, and tenseness of the Flea are significant of the elegant dancing and fencing sign Gemini. This spirit visited his imagination in such a figure as he never anticipated in an insect. As I was anxious to make the most correct investigation in my power, of the truth of these visions, on hearing of this spiritual apparition of a Flea, I asked him if he could draw for me the resemblance of what he saw: he instantly said, 'I see him now before me,' I therefore gave him paper and a pencil, with which he drew the portrait, of which a facsimile is given in this number. I felt convinced by his mode of proceeding that he had a real image before him, for he left off, and began on another part of the paper to make a separate drawing of the mouth of the Flea, which the spirit having opened, he was prevented from proceeding with the first sketch, ​till he had closed it. During the time occupied in completing the drawing, the Flea told him that all fleas were inhabited by the souls of such men as were by nature blood-thirsty to excess, and were therefore providentially confined to the size and form of insects; otherwise, were he himself, for instance, the size of a horse, he would depopulate a great portion of the country. He added, that if in attempting to leap from one island to another, he should fall into the sea, he could swim, and should not be lost. This spirit afterwards appeared to Blake, and afforded him a view of his whole figure; an engraving of which I shall give in this work.

Mr. Liu Chih-chou was born at Feng-hsiang Hsien, Shensi Province, in 1883. He was graduated from the School of Science at Sharghai. Subsequently he taught in the Middle School of his native district for three years. Upon the outbreak of the First Revolution in October 1911, Mr. Liu organized a volunteer corp in his district and declared the independence of Feng Hsiang and the adjacent districts in defiance of the Manchu authority.
