INDIA REPORT GETS
ADVERSE WELCOME
Goes Out of Way to Discour-
age Hopes of New Progress,
Says London Times.
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, November 1.-THE volumi-
nous report and recommendation OF
Viceroy Lord Irwin and his government
as 10 q future status for India, as pre-
sented today to the Round Table Con-
ference, were given q most unfavorable
reception by the London press.
The Times. while admitting the re-
port, which Is called dispatch" Is Of
manifest importance, says it need excite
neither enthusiasm nor anxiety, adding
that "the criticism which must occur
to every one who reads it In the light
Of modern thought Is that its outlook
Is altogether too narrow to help the
conference in Its main decision. 1t is a
little depressing that at moment
when the whole destiny of India was
under review they should almost
have gone out of their way to dis
courage hopes of q new and larger ex-
pertinent in constitutional progress"
Called Fantastic Scheme.
The Telegraph says: "The proposal
cuts at the heart of the Simon Com
missions plan Over q wide tract OF
administration it would erect q vieeroy
in principale into an autocrat subject
only to removal by the crown. That
Lord Irwin should have secured the
consent of his council to q scheme 50
fantastic is the most fncomprehensible
thing about it. .5.s
The Morning Posts main fear Ia that
il the government is made partly re-
sponsible to the Indian Legislative AS
sembly it would come more under
the assembley's power and the army
would be dragged in with the govern
ment. IF the army came under polit-
ical influence" the paper said, moth
ing would be left but to await inevi-
table disaster"
Loading Dice Charged.
The Daily Mail charged the govern
ment with loading the dice in favor of
dominion status and said that the dis
patch would negative most of the
Simon Commissions work. ut would
appease Indian extremists by conces-
sions which would reduce India to an
archy and bankruptcy" sex
The News and Chronicle pointed out
that the dispatch suggested that the
Simon scheme was not workable.
