New Set-up In Eleven "

States Not Unlike Canadian Provin- cial Governments.

((7. P. by Guardian's Special Wire)

BOMBAY, Mrtrch ill-The l1 provinces of British India inaugur- ate autonomous government tomor- row in the first step in what is perhaps the British Empire's great- est experiment in constitutional einlutlon. _

In rix of the provinces, however, the march toward self-government \\’.lS clouded by the refusal of the Nationalist Congress Party, suc- cessful in those provinces in the re- ccnt elections,_ to form ministries.

The new constitution provides for such a contingency by providing the provincial ECW311101; rhall have special “safe-guarding" powers, en- abling them to carry on govern- ment.

llfinority administrations have been formed in four of the six provinces.

Cause of Dispute

It is to these special powers vest- ed in the provincial governors the Congress Party i" objecting. They have demanded the governors re- nounce these powers and promise to accept the advice oi‘ their min- isters regardless of its nature.

This the governors say they are powerless to do, even if they are so inclined. Their special powcru include the prevention of any menace to the peace and tranquil- lity oi the province, the safeguard- lng of minorities and members of the public services, and the protec- tion of the rights of the Indian states rind the native princes rul- Lng thzm.

The Congress Party has called for a hartal, or work stcppflse by its members and sympathlzcr: for tomorrow as a protest against the inauguration of the new conti- 2-: '11 It is not___antie_ipated that

Senator Duff was speaking on the motion of Senator C. C. Bellan- tync (Cons. Montreal) urging im- proved itaval defences. The debate was adjourned till tomorrow by Scnator J. P. Molloy (Lib. Proven- cheri.

Canada's Atlantic and Pacific Coast defences were “absolutely inadequate“ and “we should go as far as we possiby can in bolster- ing up these coastline defences," Senator Duff said.

Strong opposition came from three members of the C. C. F. group when Justice Minister La- poitite moved the necessary reso- lution. They urged that if the force needed reinforcements it be increased in the customary man- HGT.

"Civilian vigllantes" and "storm troopers" were the designations uscd by opponents of the measure in referring to the 300 young men the government proposes to en- list in a volunteer reserve for the Mounties.

This group would be called out for training for a maximum of three months a year, or in event of an errlrgency, and would be

about $80,000 a year, the minister said. compared with $500,000 ii the permanent force were increas- ed to the same extent.
