The Majority on the whole condemn dyarchy ; they say
that it has not developed a political sense among the people. There are no Parliamentary parties ; electoral campaigns have little to do with political issues ;. the Ministers responsible for transferred subjects are uncer- tain of their authority (as we must remark we always felt sure they would be) ; the provincial treasuries are kept short of money, and the task of improving the condition of. the people is therefore unnecessarily hampered. The Majority, however, admit that there is scattered eviderice of progress. They recommend certain expedients for making procedure easier and encouraging a more con- ciliatory spirit. The minority deliver a much more drastic condemnation of dyarchy and regard the expediefits of the majority as inadequate. " In our opinion," they say, " the present system is incapable of yielding better results in future." Nor do they recognize the practicability of an " alternative transitional system."
