The White Paper: A Middle View 573 THE MEASURE OF CO-OPERATION if India stood today exactly where she stood in 1917 the answer would be in the words of the announcement made by the Cabinet in that year or in effect that the issue would be determined by the degree of co-operation in reform which has been received from he Indian leaders. [...] Some writers speak of it as if we were proposing the transfer of County Councils in ignoance of the fact that the province may be as great in area as Italy as full of people as the British Isles and that it embraces the whole range of public business which touches the happiness of the people and the welbeing of the State save only those departments— defence railways and Customs—to whic [...] There is only the conviction that at times of emergency and especially in communal strife the fear of want of support in the mind of the junior Indian official and the social pressure upon those above him will weaken the hands of those on whom will fall the grave duty of dealing promptly and firmly whenever and wherever it breaks out with the chief evil in India's civic life."The White Paper [...] The whole structure of our system it is true was incompatible with enterprise of that type; and the result was that the Central Government acquired a habit of intervention which if challenged was always defensible on the ground of the ultimate responsbility of the Governor-General for the acts of all his subordinates. [...] Unless there is a change of heart (to use the jargon of the day) Simla will still endeavour to interfere; but my suggestion is that the change of heart must come and that the Central Government must be most definitely deterred from intevening unless there is the clearest case for the enforcement of a safeguard with the spontaneous development of the different provinces.
