Civil Service League
 Scores Vet Rulings

Washington, Oct. 6 R = The National Civil Service Reform league today urged President Hoover to rescind or modify the executive order granting war vet erans preference for federal po- sitions which was issued by Presi- dent Coolidge shortly before he left office.
 The league said study of the effects of the Coolidge order proved it was unfair not only to the large number of non- disabled veterans but also to many of the disabled.
 Under the order disabled veter- ans have 10 points added to their earned ratings in civil service ex- aminations, and if this brings their mark above 70, the mini
 mum passing grade, they must be preferred for appointment to pub lie positions above all other com petitors.

BRITAIN WANTS
INDIA TO RUN
| OWN AFFAIRS
Dominion Status Ultimate
Goal, Says Secretary
of State.
BY HENRY T. RUSSELL
Uaited Press staff Correspondent
rxTyortd r,orvrfgt,t foso h-, TTnftsd pres,


LONDON, June 20. - Captain
wedgwood Benn, British secretary
of state for India, in an exclusive
interview with the United Press,
today declared the governments
fixed aim is the achievement Of do
minion status by India, and the
government will not be DETECTED
from it in any way by the pres
ent troubles.
"At the same time, it is the plain
duty of any government to main
tain order. This duty is being dis
charged in India not in the inter
ests Of British domination, but in
the interests of India herself" he
asserted.
In the development of Britain'S
policy in accordance with the gov
ernment's India act of 1919, a statu-
tory commission was appointed un-
der the craftsmanship Of Sir John
Simon. It's final report will be
made public in few days.
Contained Able Survey
''The first volume of the report
contained an able survey of the
conditions Of the problem. The
second volume will contain recon-
mendations by the commissioners.
"The next stage in the pursuit of
British policy will be a conference
to which all sections of opinion in
British India and the Indian states
viii be invited. This conference
will play a most important part in
the pursuit of the goal-dominion
status"
1T will be by this conference and
in agreement with Indian opinion
that the governments plans are
to be matured."
"The disorders so far have been
localized, far beyond the all-India
congress circles there is an urgent
desire TO acquire for India an
equality status with other parts of
the British commonwealth.
Population Divided
''The total population of India is
almost three times that of the
United States, but so far from being
homogeneous, the population sharp
ly is divided tinto religions and
castes.
''The general desire for an equal
status for India in the British COM
monwealth is found in common, but
the difficulty is to devise a scheme
which will be acceptable to all.
More than one-third Of the IN
dian continent consists of states
rules by Indian princes who owe al
legiance to King George as emperor
of India, and are in treaty relations
of varying kinds with the British
crown, but are not subject to the
laws made by the British Indian
legislature.
Living Standards Low
81 am very far from saying things
are as they should be in India. The
standard of living is very low, in
dustrial conditions are bad and pow
erty is widespread, but although
what remains to be done is i'm
mense, we can at least claim we
already have accomplished some
thing that is not inconsiderable."
The minister produced long sheets
of statistics indicating improved
conditions of health, increased saw
ings, an increase in the number of
factories and trade generally, a pub
lie debt of which 80 per cent was
represented by productive assets, a
favorable trade balance of $250,000,-
600 a year, more than 1000 miles
of new railways added in five years
and irrigation works which it was
claimed yearly bring new millions
of acres under cultivation.
