Even the Nationalist newspaper Amrita Bazar Patrika. which has often been critical of the provincial ministry. declares he will start his mission with no prejudices against him. The paper asks, however. Lf the same impartiality can be ex- pected from other members 0d the commission.

Sir Francis has served as Bri- tish High Commissioner to Can- ada slnce 1935.

It ls difficult to over-estimate the importance of this inquiry to Bengal. The land Revenue system there is based on the four-year-old Permanent Settlement. a legacy left to India by Governor General Cornwallis. who earlier in his career commanded the British troops in the American War of Independ- ence. and who was a. brother of Hon. Edward Cornwallis. the foun- der -of Halifax, NS,

It is much more than a machine, however. for supplying the gQvgi-n- ment with funds. It has become an integral part of the social struc- ture of Bengal. On it largely de- pend the fortunes of the Bengali

middle class. Consequently, as most of the Zmnindsrds (landlords) are Hindus and the majority of the tiller of the soil under them Mfifilelllfi. the Permanent Settle- ment ls mixed up in India's com- nlunal problem.

It. forms part of the general question of Agrarian relief with which all Indian provinces are fac- ed. In the handling of the cultiva. tors and their claims is believed w rest the fate of the present min- lstry which the Congress Party ls seeklnll to oust.

Ever since provincial autonomy W88 inaugurated a year ago Ben- Kal politics have been dominated by problems of adjusting clashing social and economic interests.

Bengal. with 51,000,000 inhabit. ants. is India's most populous pro- vince and also its richest. It has a monopoly of Jute, the world's cheapest packing material, grows vast quantities of rice and other fmditllfls. has extensive coal de- DOBll-B. tea plantations and sound industrial developments.

In the intervening 145 years these conditions have been bitter- ly assailed. principally 0n the ground they were made without any survey of the land or adequate provision for the cilltivators‘ inter- ests. The latter lost their previous proprietary rights in the land and were left to the tender mercies of the landlords.

Not until 1885 was any aub- stantlal relief granted to the ‘cul- tivators. The law of that year, it was recalled. was helped towards the sta-tue book by the vigorous ef- forts in London of Florence Night-

imlale.

In 1928 the late Beilflpl Legisla- tive Council passed another ten- ancy act amendment bill. but the cultivators complained they had not received Just treatment. Then came the government of India Act which added enormously to the number of peasant voters and now no Bengal Ministry can exist with safety that does not keep on the right side of them.

NEW YORK. April fl-(AP) — Every woman cornrnunlcant of the Episcopal Church in the, United States is to be asked during the next three years what she thinks about marriage and divorce.

composed ex- clusively of women representing every section of the United States, decided a "referendum to the wa- men of the Episcopal Church. so that ultimately when the Na- tional Committee makes its report on its three-year study. it wlll re- present not merely the committee's opinions. but the actual thinking of the women of the church."
