Excerpt from Indian Constitutional Reforms: Government of India's Despatch of March 5th, 1919, and Connected Papers; First Despatch on Indian Constitutional Reforms

Work out for itself free institutions of a distinctive type, time alone can 2 tell. Nor need we speculate whether India is going to borrow our history. Our clear duty is to put her into the way which we believe to be the best, and to allow the character of the nation, as it grows and is welded by experience andtrial, to deflect our present methods gradually and intelligently towards ideals which it will adopt as its own. We regard'it as beyond question that the first stage of advance must be a generous one, undertaken at the earliest possible moment. To postpone it now would be a confession of mistrust of our own work, and would alienate those classes in the country to whom we must look for the leader ship'of the new movement. We should particularly deplore any argu ment for delay, based on disclosures of rovolutionary conspiracies which are utterly foreign to the real life of the people, and confined to an incon siderable section. We believe indeed that, while it is necessary to deal firmly with crime arising out of these conspiracies, repressive measures, unless coupled with definite steps in the direction of political advance, can provide only a temporary remedy. There probably would be no point of time at which we should not feel that something still remained to be done by way of. Preparation for the beginnings of popular adminis tration; but we must trust to_ perfect our work in'co-operation with Indian public men, and we must be content to believe that we have laid ou-r foundations well, and that they. Will bear the new superstructure. In all this we feel that we are moving with -a spirit which is stronger than our calculations; and we accept whatever lies ahead; But that consideration only adds to the weight of responsibility which lies upon us when we come to advise upon the details of the plan of advance. To the form of provincial governmentwhich the Report sets up as the main vehicle of progress we have nothing to oppose; we have seen no alterna tive which in any way competes with it. But we can best fulfil our task and discharge our responsibility by helping you to develop the new system into a working proposition. It is a novelty in constitutions and none of us can prophesy the manner of its growth. But there are to our minds certain universal tests of administrative machinery its smoothness or friction in working, its burdensomeness on the people or the reverse, its educative value, and its capacity for further development. To every detail of the scheme therefore we have applied these tests, and our advice is based on its response to them. It has been no purpose of ours either to Whittle down the. Scheme or to expand it. We take the scheme in the Report as one which, in all essentials, has our full adherence and our sole aim has been to translate it into a working plan which, while free from obvious defects, will be in accord with the policy of His Majesty's Government.
