Amendments to India Bill

1C. ‘P. Cable) '(By Guardian's Special Wire)

LONDON, March l9.—-A number of amendments and alterations to the government's India. Bill are sug- gested by the Indian. princes, a. White Paper issued in connection with the bill showed tonight.

The White Paper covered the viewpoint. expressed by the Indian States regarding the bill and tho

gestiotis. The bill, which gives India I- modified form of self-government, is now being considered by Parlia- ment.

Otue o1 the chief demands of the Princes relates to the form of their accession to the federated lnuizt pro- posed in the bill. In this connection

the princes wish to accept only specified portions of the Act.

‘Fhcy also seal: further settlement of the question or paramountcy (the name given in the bill to describe the ultimate authority exercised by the Crown over the States), ack- nowledgement in the Act of the sanctity of their treaties and the in- clusion of a time-limit for the aa- sumption of power by the Governor- General in the event of s. break- down in the constitution.

in his opinion the constitution must

be accepted as a." whole although it had always been agreed there might

be some variation in the powers ex-

b: allowed to continue. Britain's defence weakness was "a danger to ourselves and to the cause of peace," he told the House-

“We arc-not warmohgers, and neither ure we influenced by war- ntongcrs." he stressed. Great Brit- ain in recent years lntd cut- he!‘ defences to the bone, and now she must pursuc 119866 by new methods without however abandoning the old ones.

Estimates Increased

The estimates, as announced previously, are increased by £3,685,- 000 617.909.0001 over last year, reaching n total of £23.851,000. The increase is entailed by the decision to [add 41 squadrons to the Royal Air Force within the next three

years.

“The problem is how to effect a 50 percent expansion in this time without deterioration in efficiency and in physical and intellectual standards," 511d Sir Philip.

He listed the four powers still enjoying numerical superiority as the United Stutes, Italy, Russia and France. But the first two outnum- bered the British by only small margins, he added, and it was only in relation to the air forces of Russia. and France that Britain was in a position of serious numer- ical inferiority,

He estimated that IPrance had a first-line strcngth of 1,650 mach- ines. and Russia. according to the latest official information, had more than 2.000 first line craft. The R. A. F. had more qualified pilots on its active list than either the United States or Italy.

Again. compared to France and Italy, the R. A. F. machines were of more modern construction and of superior performance, said the under-secretary, though both oth- er nations had embarked on a. far- reaching program of rc-equipmcnt and modernization.

First Line Strength

He placed the first line strength of the R, A. F. today at approx- imately 890 ntuchines in regular squadrons, plus 130 machines in non-regular squadrons, or 1.020 in all. Completion of this year's pro- gram would bring the total to 1,- 170; the program for next year would bring the figure to 1,310 machines,
