VICEROY OF INDIA HAS DELICATE PROBLEM TO HANDLE On April Ist the new constitution of India becomes effective in the vast Indian Empire. It took Great Britain more than eight years to prepare a constitution which grants India self-rule with certain reservations, but Gandhi and his Nationalists are not satisfied with it in its present form. They do not wish to have any reservations, but to be entirely self-ruling.

Above are pictures of Lord Linlithgow (right) Viceroy of India, and Mahatma Gandhi, the Nationalist leader. In the centre is a map of India which ¢ives a graphic description of the problem faced by the Viceroy and the British Government.
