Simla, India, Sept. 9- (Via London)—The Viceroy of India, in council, has
outlined proposals for the considerations of Indian people, by which the
government of India proposes to negotiate reciprocal arrangements with
other British colonies to meet the present difficulties regarding the
emigrations of Indians.
Under this plan a limited number of passports will be issued. It is similar
to the present arrangements between Canada and Japan, which permits of
temporary arrangements for the movements of students and tourists, but
which limits strictly the right to settle permanently.
The victory announced also that India was contributing $5,000,000
toward the cost of the Indian contingent in the war; this in addition to
applying the gifts of the Maharajahs of Mysore of $1,600,000 to the cost of
transportation.
