Legislation for Transfer of Power to India Sets Dominion Basis

London June 3 AAP Reuters from New Delhi reports Britain plans in the current Parliament session to enact laws to transfer power to Indians in 1947 on a Dominion basis for one or two successor authorities. Dominion status would not prevent the Indian Constituent Assembly from later deciding whether areas under its authority remain in the British Commonwealth. By August India could be a full Dominion, while Britain seeks to avoid disrupting the existing Assembly and to enable formation of another body for unrepresented areas.

Australia Will Penalize Interference With Defence Projects

In Canberra on June 3 the Attorney General Dr H V Evatt outlined the Defence Projects Protection Bill to curb sabotage or threats against approved defence works including the rocket range project in South Australia. The bill proposes penalties up to 12 months in prison or a £5000 fine, or both. It targets boycott actions and aims to deter Communist agitation and industrial disruption during defence undertakings. The measures, Evatt said, are broader than calls for protests and seek to uphold national security without endorsing specific opposition proposals. The debate touched on Australian, British, and American efforts to curb dispersal of weapons technology and ensure uninterrupted defence projects.
