such persons will be regulated by rules, made by the Secretary
of State. Every person appointed by the Secretary of State
will continue to enjoy all service rights existing at the date of
his appointment. 'At the expiration of five years from the
commencement of the Constitution Act, a statutory inquiry
will be held into the question of the future recruitment for
those services except the Foreign Department and the Eccle-
siastical Department. The decision on the results of this
inquiry, with which the Governments in India concerned
will be associated, will rest with His Majesty's Government
and be subject to the approval of both Houses of Parliament.'¹
Thus the important services will continue to be under the
control of the Secretary of State for India in London, in spite
of the so-called responsibility granted to India. The Federal
and Provincial Ministers will have as subordinates, officials
over whose destiny they will have no control and against
whom they will not be able to take any disciplinary measures.
As for the other services, the Federal and Provincial Govern-
ments respectively will appoint and determine the conditions
of service of all persons in the Federal and Provincial services
respectively. For conducting competitive examinations for
appointments to the Federal and Provincial services respec-
tively, there will be a Federal Public Service Commission and
Provincial Public Service Commissions. The members of the
Federal Public Service Commission will be appointed by the
Secretary of State and of the Provincial Public Commission
by the Governor. The emoluments of the members of all
Public Service Commissions will not be subject to the vote
of the Legislatures. Thus the Public Service Commissions
will be quite independent of the popular will.

interests of Britishers. The Indian Reserve Bank² already

ment. As a matter of fact, some appointments have already been made.

Acting Governor of the Punjab) second Deputy Governor.
