India THE decision of His Majesty's Government upon the representation of the Indian communities in the new Provincial Legislatures was published in a White Paper on Tuesday. Representation in the Legislature at the Centre is not included because that involves the representation of the Indian States. When we last wrote on the subject we pleaded for this decision to be given as soon as possible. Considering the Prime Minister's preoccupations elsewhere in the last few months and the state of his health, we appreciate his and Sir Samuel Hoare's success in carrying the decision through the Cabinet with so little delay. * * *
