Editorial Notes

Abstract

On a former occasion.we referred to th advent of the Royal Commision on agriculture in October next and put in a few suggestions on the basis of which readers of this Journal might collect and forward their views on this-- the burning question of the hour. Now we feel dismayed at the apathy shown by responsible persons and the general public alike. in this matter No action seems to have been taken except that the Viceroy called a conference of ministers and Directors of Agriculture from several provinces.They met at Simla on the 4th June and discussed problems which from an official point of view ought to engage the attention of the Commission. This meeting has certainly cleared much obscurity in outstanding agricultural questions between the Central and Provincial Governments.Local agricultural to co-ordinate proposals for placing the case of each provine before the Commision, So far so good.But we are sure that both his Majesty's Commisioners and the Government of India would like and certainly oxpect and welcom people directly interesred in the land and having considerable strike in it to come forward and expresstheir views on land questions that have been agitating the minds ofthe public and the Government for a pretty long time. there is no denying the fact that Agriculture has been forced to the front in all countries especially after the war and India cannot stand alone with folded hands,looking at other nations to steal a march over her in developing natural resources.
