APPENDIX 353
(iii) For the purpose of combating terrorism, the
Governor should have the power to take under
his own control any branch of Government which
it is necessary to use for that purpose.
2. Ministers and Secretaries to Government would be
required to bring to the notice of the Governor
anything that is likely to involve his 'special respon-
sibilities.'
3. Upper Chambers should be established in Madras
and Bombay as well as in Bengal, United Provinces
and Bihar.
4. Election to the Federal Lower House should be
indirect, by the members of the Provincial Lower
Houses, instead of direct by voters in territorial
constituencies.
5. If less than 90 per cent. of the State adhere to the
Federation, additional States representatives should
be appointed to the Federal Legislature to the extent
of half the difference between the seats to which the
Federating States would ordinarily be entitled and
the full State's representation if all the States acceded.
6. The High Courts should have control over the pro-
motions and postings of subordinate Judges, and the
Governor should have the final word in the appoint-
ment of District Judges.
7. The Governor-General should have a special responsi-
bility to prevent the imposition of penal tariffs on
goods imported from the United Kingdom.
8. The Legislatures in India, should after ten years,
have the constitutional right to present Addresses, for
the consideration of His Majesty's Government and
Parliament, recommending amendment of the Con-
stitution on certain specified matters such as compo-
sition of the Legislatures and franchise.
9. The separation of Burma from India should be accom-
panied by a Trade Agreement between the two
countries binding for a specified time.
As far as it can be ascertained, public opinion in India is
exceedingly hostile to the Joint Committee's Report. Never-
theless, the Bill, based on the Report, is expected to be put
through the British Parliament before the end of 1935.
