The "transferred subjects," the Report says, should not include the
maintenance of law and order, nor-,-significantly enough- " matters which vitally affect the well-being of the masses who may not be adequately represented in the new Councils, such for example as questions of land revenue or tenant rights." Further, the official Government or the Government of India must "-secure the right of re-entry" in the ease of the " transferred subjects." The Com mittee which is to define the franchise should consist of a Chairman from outside India with two officials and two natives of high stand- ing. and will have to " measure the number of persons who can be reasonably entrusted with the duties of citizenship." Burma, the North-West Frontier Province,- Baluehistan, Delhi, and the primitive hill-tribes are -excluded from- the scheme.
