CHAPTER II Meetings, Two meetings were held during the period under report. The Third Annual General and Sixth Ordinary Meeting was held in April 1950, and the Fourth Annual General and Seventh Ordinary Meeting in March 1951. Both the meetings were held in New Delhi under the Presidentship of Sardar Datar Singh. Meetings of the various Sub-Committees except the Local Sub-Committee were held in conjunction with two meetings. A special meeting of the Marketing Sub-Committee was held on the 13th September 1950 to consider the Forward Contracts (Regulation) Bill, 1950, and also the situation arising out of the ban imposed by the Saurashtra Government on the export of vegetable oilseeds and oils from Saurashtra to other parts of India. At these meetings, besides reviewing the progress of work done during the previous years, the Committee considered and sanctioned ·3 various schemes of research and development and made recommendations on a number of questions relating to the production and marketing of oilseeds and their products and the development of the oil crushing industry in village ghanis and power mills. A brief account of these activities is given in the following chapters. CHAPTER III AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT A Completed schemes : (i) Manurial expriments with groundnut cake. The scheme was started in 1943 in Hyderabad and terminated in April 1948. It has led to certain practical results which are expected to be published shortly. (ri) Pests and diseases of til and other oilseeds. The scheme commenced in August 1943 in Uttar Pradesh and ended in June 1951. It has led to certain control measures against the more important pests and diseases affecting these crops and these are expected to be published shortly. (iii) Research on pests and safflower. The scheme was started in April 1945 in Bombay and it terminated in June 1950. It has led to certain practical results for the control of the pests but these are awaiting confirmation by large scale trials before publication. (iv) Research on the pests and diseases of castor and other oilseeds. The scheme was initiated in 1943 in Hyderabad and terminated in June 1947. A teaflet incorporating the results of practical value has been sent to the Indian Council of Agricultural Research for publication in the Indian Farming. A fresh scheme for the trial of the practical measures in cultivator's fields on a country-wide scale has recently oeen sanctioned vide. Chapter III. (c) (8). (v) Research on storage of groundnuts. The scheme was started in 1943 in Madras and terminated in 1947. A leaflet showing the practical results achieved including instructions for the proper storage of groundnuits has been printed and widely distributed. (vi) Resear hon pests and diseases of groundnut. The scheme was started in 1943 in Madras and terminated in ·4 19:17. It has led to results of practical value which have been written up in popular form and given wide publicity. On the basis of these results, a fresh scheme for large scalc application of thic mcasures has been sanctioned by the Committee. The particulars of the new scheme were given in thc Committec's Annual Report for the year ending 31st March 1950. B. Schemes in progreos : 1. Linseed Breeding Scheme, Punjab (Kangra)--Progress report for the year ending 31st June 1951. The scheme is located at Nagrota in Kangra District, Punjab, and was started in April 1949. It is duc to terminate in March 1954. The breeding and agronomic trials conducted during the year under report have provided the following important results :- (i) In the yield trials conducted at the Linsced Breeding Sub- Station, Nagrota and Mangowal, the varicty K-2 has established, beyond doubt, its superiority over the local variety. K-2 gave 5.38 inaunds (111.6 per cent) and 2.77 maunds (179.8 per cent) more yield per acre than the local variety at Nagrota and Mangowal, respectively. The additional income per acre in favour of K-2 worked out to Rs. 127-1-0 and Rs. 61-12-0 per acre at Nagrota and Mangowal respectively. In the trials conducted on cultivators' land also, K-2 gave a very good account of itself, its average yield in four places being 2.62 maunds (91.9 per cent) more than the local linseed. In these trials the crop was sown in the standing rice crop according to the local practice in Kangra Valley. (ii) Trials conducted between K-2, 235 strains of hybrid origin cvolved at Nagrota and 33 varieties supplied by the Head of the Division of Botany, Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, failed to show any strain significantly superior to K-2 in yield. (iii) The manurial trial on K-2 variety revealed that the yield of linseed increased progressively with the increase in the dose of nitrogen from ammonium sulphate, the average excess in yields over control in case of 20, 30 and 40 lbs. N being 1.23, 2.31 and 3.26 maunds per acre respectively. These doses gave gave an additional income of Rs. 11-9-0, ·Rs. 28-12-6 and Rs. 43-2-2 per acre, respectively, as compared to control. . (iv) In the seed rate trial on K-2 variety with 15, 18 and 21 seers seed rates, the yield increased progressively as the quantity of seed used per acre weat up. Even after deducting the cost of seed, there was an additional income of Rs. 26-60, Rs. 90-52-0 in case of 18 and 21 seers seed rates repectively, as compared to the seed rate of 15 seers per acre. (v) In the rotational trial, K-2 gave 2,45 miunds (45,8 per cent) more yield when sown after maize crop than when sown after rice crop. In this case the additional income worked out to Rs. 61-4-0 per ac when it succeeds maize as compared to when it succeeds rice. (vi) In the progeny row trial of sesamum the local types gave good performance as compared to T4, T5, T15 and other strains of hybrid origin. Strain Kangra-2, a selection from local sesamum of Kangra Valley, appears to be particularly full of promise on account of its high yreld, bold grains and bright white colour of seeds. 2. Scheme for inducing mutants with desirable economic characters in til (sesamun), rape and mustard by X-rays. Annual report for the year 1950-51. The scheme is located at Calcutta in the Bose Research Institute and was started in April 1930. It is due to terminate in March 1953. The results of the experiments so far conducted indicate that some of the types experim:ned with, both in S:sinun and Brassica, are better suited to the environmental conditioas in West Bengal than the others. Gregter attention will be given to these types during thnext season. A rough estimate of the doses necessary for inducing the maximum variations in the X-rayed progenies has been obtained. Certain individual plerts scre obtained in the treatments shich had a greater number of fruits than in the controls. These will be tried during the next season without any further treatments. Earliness has been noticed in seseral of the treatments. These will also be tried during the next season to find out their tchariour ·6 . 3. Scheme for the improvement of groundnut crop in the Punjab (India). (Report for the year ending 30th June 1951). The scheme is located at Samarala (Ludhiana District, Punjab). It was started in April 1949 and is due to terminate in March 1954. The breeding work being pursued under the scheme for selection of improved strains, has furnished very interesting results in so far as out of fifty-five single plant selections with spreading habit of growth nineteen selections gave higher yield than the standard Local Samarala, the difference in their favour ranging from 27.48 per cent to 59.65 per cent. Similarly, out of eighteen single plant selections with erect and bushy habit of growth, six out-yielded the spreading variety, Local Samarala by margins ranging between 8.65 per cent and 19.23 per cent. In the yield trials conducted with six erect and bushy varieties, the variety Phillipine pink gave the highest yield of 17.21 maunds per acre against 15.59 maunds given by Punjab Groundnut No. 1 kept as standard, but the difference was statistically not significant. The variety Phillipine pink out-yielded all varieties in the trial last year as well. It has also been found to possess higher oil content than Punjab Groundnut No. 1. In the trial with spreading varieties, seven varie ties viz., A. H. 14, Gangapuri, Chikodi, Punjab Groundnut No. 1, F.15 and No. 3 gave significant higher yield of pods than the Local Samrala kept as standard. In the trials with bold-seeded table-varieties, no variety gave significantly higher yield than Punjab Groundnut No. 1 kept as standard, but variety A 2 out-yielded by a narrow margin and three varieties viz., D. 5, Cyprus and Aut, proved almost at par with the standard. As in the previous year, the manurial trial carried out during the year under report has once again proved that the application of inorganic nitrogenous fertilizers, ammonium sulphate and ammonium phosphate increased the yield per acre of pods under Samarala conditions by very big margins. The increase in yield realised in case of ammonium phosphate amounted to 171.5 per cent as compared to control whereas in case of ammouium sulphate the increase was of the order of 121.9 per cent. From the economic point of view, manuring with 25 lb. of N 2 per acre from ammonium phosphate resulted in a net profit of Rs. 333.51 while the corresponding increase in the case of ammonium sulphate amounted to Rs. 231.1 per acre. Spacing experiments carried out with spreading and bunch varities have once again revealed the usefulness of adopting closer spacing with a view to realising high yield of groundnut. In the case of spreading variety, the spacing of 12"x9" gave the highest yield of ·18.17 maunds per acre, while in the case of bushy variety the spacing of 9"x6" gave the highest yield of 11,35 maunds per acre. The economics of these trials has divulged the fact that closer spacing remains more economical even after duly accounting for the cost of the additional seed used in such cases. Growing of spreading variety of groundnut in a pure state has been found to be more economical than growing it in admixture with other kharif crops like guara, bajra, sesamum and mung, while in the case of bushy variety sowing of two to three rows of groundnut after every row of mung gave slightly higher cash return per acre than pure groundnut. Chemical studies carried out on seventy-seven varieties of groundout have shown that their crude fat percentage ranges between 45.4 and 51.3. Manuring of groundnut with any of the organic or inorganic fertilisers produced no adverse affect on the trude fat percentage of the seed. Variations in spacing seem to have po effect on the crude fat percentage. Spraying groundnut crop with Bordeau Mixture (2:2:40) has been found to be very effective in controlling the spread and incidence of tikka disease under Samarala conditions and has consequently resulted in raising the yield of pods by 174.2 per cent and 120.9 per cent over control with two sprayings and one spraying, respectively. 4. Castor seed distribution scheme, Hyderabad - Progress Report. The scheme is located at Himayat Sagar Farm in Hyderabad. It was started in 1946 and is due to terminate in March 1954. The following quantities of seed were produced during the period 1950-51, (a) H. C.1. 9 lb. selfed seed and 1000 lbs. 2nd generating seed. (b) H. C. 6. 30 lbs. of selfed seed and 80 lbs. of 1st generation seed 300 lbs. of 2nd generation seed. 2,946 1b3. of Lai generation seed of H. C. 1 produced in 1949-50 was distributed over 200 acres which was the reserve area for 1950-51. The produce from this reserve area has not been procured as the strain is not gaining sufficient popularity and hence it has been decided to lay emphasis only on H. C. 6 as already approved in this extension proposals.

·8 5. Scheme for multiplication and distribution of improved strains of groundnut-Madras, The scheme which is located at Tindivanam in Madras was started in July 1948. It is due to terminate in June 1953. 8,650 lbs., 1,820 lbs., and 1,255 lbs. of picked pods of improved strains of groundnut viz., T. M. V. 1, T. M. V. 2 and T. M. V. 3, respectively, were produced at the Government Farms and most of the seeds have been distributed to the primary seed farms during the year 1950-51. From the particulars received from the districts regarding the spread of the improved strains, it is estimated that the total area grown under the imprived strains in 1950 was 1,08,000 acres. C. New schemes sanctioned ܫܫ The following agricultural research schemes for evolving new varieties, adoption of improved cultural practices and of measures to control pests and diseases and for seed multiplication and distribution of improved varieties, etc., were approved by the Committee and recommended for sanction :- I. Evolving improved varieties. (1) Scheme for improvement'of the brassica crop in Punjab. Under this scheme, research is to be undertaken to evolve improved strains of self-sterile forms of brassica viz., brown sarson and toria. Manurial trials and experiments on seed rate and time of sowing will be conducted on these crops. The net recurring expenditure on the scheme to be shared by the Committee and the State Government on a 75:25 basis is estimated at Rs. 48,506/- for a period of three years. (2) Scheme of research on oilseeds in Uttar Pradesh. This scheme envisages work on the improvement of linseed, mustard, groundnut, til and castor.

(3) Scheme for conducting research on Brassica in Assam. This scheme is designed for work on evolving improved strains of brassica in Assam. The work includes cultural, manurial and rotational experiments. The entire cost of the scheme estimated at Rs. 61,224/- spread ·over five years will be met by the Committee as a special case. (4) Scheme for oilseeds research in West Bengal. The general object of the scheme is to breed suitable types of the more important oilseeds of West Bengal by a systematic study of available types in West Bengal and outside. The recurring expenditure on the scheme is estimated at Rs. 1,72,610/- for five years. Out of this, the Committee will meet the cntire expenditure for the first two years while in the subsequent three years it will be shared on 50 : 50 basis with the State Goveroment. The Committee's share of the total amount involved is estimated at Rs. 1,15,2271-. (5) Scheme for research on groundnuts in Saurashtra. The main object of the scheme is to evolve races of the crop with high yield, high oil content, high shelling out-tura, low free fatty acid content, shorter duration and resistance to drought and pests and diseases. Important agronomic problems connected with the crop, namely, economic seed rate, optimum and economic dose of manures, efficient crop rotation and remunerative mixed croppiog, will also be investigated. The recurring expenditure estimated at Rs. 99,500/- spread over five years is to be shared by the State Government and the Committee on a 50:50 basis.

Pests and Diseases : (8) Scheme for research on pests and diseases of castor and other oilseeds in Hyderabad. Entomological :-Trials will be carried out with vegetable oils both in the laboratory and in the field on a large scale for the control of castor pests. D. D. T. and Benzene Hexachloride, will also be tested. A thorough study of the castor capsule borer and groundnut aphis will be made and suitable control mzasures worked out. Mycological :-A general survey of the diseases of the crop in Hyderabad State carried out during the years 1939 to 1944 showed that groundnut suffers heavily from leaf spot diseases and linseed from rust and wilt. It is now proposed to carry out a detailed survey of the diseases of the oilseed crops, especially groundnut and linseed, as was done for the castor crop previously under a scheme jointly financed by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research and the Hyderabad Government. It is also proposed to test the findings of such work on these crops carried out in other States under a scheme subsidised by the Council and subsequently taken over. by the Committee. The scheme is estimated to cost Rs. 86,770,- spread over five years, of which the committee's share amounts to Rs. 33,847/-. (9) Linseed Rust scheme, Agra. (a) Interim extension of the investigations at Agra/Simla. (b) Five year scheme for investigations an linseed rust in Uttar Pradesh. (i) The first scheme has been in progress since April 1946 at Agra under the control of the Late Dr. K. C. Mehta of the Agriculture College, Agra. Under it, preliminary studies on the rusts of linseed have been carried out and rust collections from different parts of the country have been analysed with a view to determine the physiologic races. It provided also for testing varieties of linseed for their resistance to rust. The administrative control of the scheme has now been transferred to the Divssion of Mycology, Indian Agricultural Research Insti·tute, New Delhi. It is being continued on the present lines pendin arrangements for more comprehensive work on these subjects under fresh scheme to be started by the Committee in U. P.; which is described in (b) below. (ii) The second scheme is for more comprehensive work on thc rusts of linseed. Under it the following items of work are proposed : (a) Field observations on the incidence of rust at suitable places in important linseed growing tracts of India and collection of samples for the determination of physiologic races. (6) Estimation of loss in oil content under different intensities of rust attack. (c) Maintenance of rust cultures from collections obtained from different places in a viable condition in the green house at Chaubattia. The different physiologic races met with in the collection will be established and maintained in pure state. (d) Study of the viability of uredo and teleuto stages under field and laboratory conditions and determination of the method of carry over of the disease from season to season, (e) Rust resistance tests on different varieties of linseed and flax with physiologic races collected from various parts of the country. (f) Study of the effect of the seed dressing and various other treatments, such as thorough cleaning of seeds (to remove fragments of teleutosors) exposure of seed to sun in May and June, etc., on the control of rust. 18) Analysis of about 75 rust collections of every year to determine the physiologic races every year. This work will be done according to the technique followed by Flor in U. S. A. :) Selfing of some widely prevalent races and study of the progeny with a view to ascertain whether these races are homozygous or heterozygous ? e total cost of the scheme for a period of 5 years is estimated 2010/- to be borne entirely by the Committee. Seed multiplication and distribution. Scheme for multiplication and distribution of improved groundnut seeds in Saurashtra State. er this seheme it is proposed to multiply at a nucleus seed ·12 farm the improved strains viz., AH. 25, AH. 32 and AH. 334 from Madras. On a modest estimate, 20,000 lbs. of seeds of the improved strains will be produced at the farm. With this quantity, the Seed Development Staff will organise 200 acres of primary seed farms in selected centres every year. The produce of the 200 acres of primary seed farms will be purchased and a further 1000 acres of Secondary seed farms will be run from the third year. The produce of secondary seed farms will be arranged to be procured by District Officers and made available for supply to the cultivators at the various Departmental Depots. Thus, fron the fourth year, seeds of the strains will be released for cultivation over 5000 acres. When regular supply of pure seeds of the strains from the nucleus seed farm is ensured and their subsequent stages of multiplication properly organised and carried out, it will be possible to replace the local varieties with the improved strains over nearly 3 lakhs of acres. The net recurring expenditure of the scheme is estimated at Rs. 65,500)- spread over five years and will be shared on a 50:50 basis by the Committee and the State Government. 11. Scheme for the multiplication and distribution of strains of mustard in West Bengal, The object of the scheme is to multiply the improved strains of mustard such as tori 7 and rai 5 and distribute these strains through the departmental stores and through local co-operative societies. The net recurring expenditure estimated at Rs. 11,800:- spread over five years is to be shared on a 75:25 basis by the Committee and the State Government. (12) Scheme for the multiplication and distribution of groundnut. Etablishment of a groundnut seed farm in Punjab. Under the scheme, it is proposed to take 100 acres of land on rent in one or two blocks, from refugee land lords near Machiwara town at a rental value of Rs. 40/- per acre annually. The tract is sandy in nature and is stated to be very suitable for groundnut cultivation. The seed farm is proposed to be leased out to tenants on Batai system for raising pure seed of groundnut varieties. At the time of harvest, the share of the tenants which will be 2/3rd of the produce is also proposed to be purchased. IV. Fundamental and applied research. (13) Scheme for developing a method of determining the unsaturation ·13 of small quantity of oil at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi. Under the scheme it is contemplated to develop a quick method for determining the unsaturation of small quantity oil from a few seeds of a variety. The scheme is estimated to cost Rs. 13,500/- spread over three years to be met in full by the Committee. (14) Scheme for research on phyllody disease of sesamum, at Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi. Under the scheme the following items of work are contemp. lated :- (1) To confirm if the disease is of virus nature. (it) To determine the mode of transmission of the discase. (iii) Study of the properties and host range of the disease. (iv) Testing of the varieties evolved at the Institute for their resistance to phyllody. The scheme is estimated to cost Rs. 11,250/- spread over three years to be met in full by the Committee. (15) A scheme for cytogenetical studies on some oilseed crops of India for five years at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi. Under the scheme it is contemplated to take up work on mustard, sesamum and linseed. The scheme is estimated to cost Rs. 51,480/- spread over five years to be entirely borne by the Committee. (16) Scheme for evolving breeding technique for castor, Hyderabad. The object of the scheme is to evolve a breeding technique for self sterile castor. The scheme is estimated at a cost of Rs. 7,000/- spread over five years to be met in full by the Committee. (17) Scheme for fundamental research on oilseeds in Uttar Pradesh in evolving breediug technique in brassica crops. The object of the scheme is to study the breeding technique of mustard including hybrid vigour, isolation and testing and utilisation of inbreds and strain building and its evolution. The recurring cost of the scheme is estimated at Rs. 69,799 ·14 spread over five years and will be shared on a 50:50 basis by the Committee and the State Government. V. Improvement of machinery. (18) Improved machinery for cultivating and harvesting of groundnut. In 1950, the Committee had considered the question of developing in India machinery for sowing, cultivating and harvesting, etc. of groundnut on the lines of similar machinery used in foreign countries. It was, however, agreed that the machinery used in America would not be suitable or economical under Indian conditions and the Committee, therefore, decided that the work of evolving suitable machinery should first be undertaken at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute on their own. At the same time it was desired that a proper scheme for evolving suitable bullock driven machinery should be drawn up by the Head of the Division of Agricultural Engineering of the Institute after a visit to the important groundnut growing tracts in the country to study the machinery already in use. Accordingly, Shri R. Venkataramiah, Head of the Division of Agricultural Engineering, visited Nagpur, Coimbatore, Bapatla and Tindivanam and submitted a report containing his proposals for future work. The report was considered by the Committee and it was decided that in addition to bullock driven machinery the proposals should include work cn devisirg nachinery operated with tractors and that a study should also be undertaken of the existing power driven groundnut decorticators with a view to study the optimum number of revolutions under which these should be worked so as to reduce the percentage of nooks and broken kernels to the minimum. Two schemes were accordingly submitted by the Head of the Agricultural Engineering Division at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute, one for evolving improved bullock driven machinery and the other for evolving power driven machinery for cultivating and harvesting of groundnut. These were considered by the Committee and it was recommended that both the schemes should be taken up separately and simultaneously and that the work should be carried out at Coimbatore and Tindivanam, respectively, where facilities were reported to be available. The schemes were estimated to cost Rs. 1,36,076/- and Rs. 93,189/- for a period of five and three years, respectively. They will be conducted under the administrative control of the Government of Madras who have agreed to provide the necessary facilities.

·were D. Import of improved varieties of oilseeds for trail. (1) Sunflower seeds. As decided by the Committet at its meeting held in October 1949 the representatives of the Government India in U.S., Argentina, Canada, Australia, Russia and Brazil were requested to arrange for the supply of about 10 lbs. cach of the improved varieties of sunfowe grown in these countries for trial in India, About 10 lbs. cach of the improved varieties viz., Mennonite, (2) Sunrise, and (3) Advanced first generation, received from Canada, along with full particulars regarding the season of sowing harvesting, seed rate etc These have been distributed to the various State Governments and the Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, for trial under Indian conditions. A detailed report on the performance of these varieties has been called for. Two samples of seeds were also received from Hungary and one sample from Italy. Seeds from other countries are awaited. (i) Improved varieties of linseed from U.S. A. As reported in the earlier reports, three varieties of improved lins seed víz., Dakota, B. 5728 and Shyenne, were obtained from America These were tried at the farms of various agricultural institutes in the country. The general performance of these varieties was not found to be satisfactory in the matter of yield. It was, therefore, recommended that the experiments need not be repeated in the States but may be carried out for one more year with a view to see if they were disease resistant and hardy varieties which may be useful fo breeding work. (iii) Other oilseeds imported for trial. A few samples of improved seeds of peanut and castor were ob tained from Brazil. The samples of peanut were sent for trial 2 Bombay and Madras and those of castor at Hyderabad. Samples o castor and rape-seed were also insported from Italy for trial. E. Collection and unlısation of non-edible oilseeds, (1) Minor Oilseeds. As has been reported earlier, the question of developing the pro duction and utilisation of non-edible oilseeds has bzen taken up by th Committee with the State Governments, To assess the potentialities of this vast but untapped sources ·16 supply of vegetable oil, the Committee has decided that a survey of the minor oilseeds grown in the States should be carried out. Such a survey which was conducted in Madras with the financial aid of the Committee has yielded very useful and interesting results. On the basis of the results of that survey the Committee has invited all other States to carry out similar surveys in their respective areas with the financial aid from its funds. A scheme for a survey in the U. P. has since been sanctioned in 1950-51 while proposals are awaited from the other States. A good deal of technological and development work has been indicated in the report of the Madras survey and the question of taking up these investigations is also receiving attention. (ii) Tung Cultivation: According to the decision of the Committee on the recommendations contained in Shri C. M. John's report on research on oilseeds crops in India, a Special Officer was appointed in November 1950 to survey the possibilities of growing Tung trees on a commercial scale with a view to increase the production of Tung oil which is used in the manufacture of paints, varnishes etc. The Special Officer has already visited all areas in the country where tung cultivation has been coasidered possible and has collected a good deal of valuable data regarding existing plantations and potentialities for the future. His report is likely to be completed in the course of next few months and will be considered by the Committee. F. Important reeommendations and action taken. Spread of improved varieties : A statement containing the information regarding improved strains of oilseeds already evolved in different States, was compiled and supplied to all the State Governments with the request that the strains may be tried systematically in their areas for a few years to determine their yield and suitability for the various tracts, etc. and to supply to the Comınittee summaries of the results of the trial. The State Departments of Agriculture have been requested to make available seeds of these strains that are available with them and might be required fort trial in other States. Setting up of separate commodity research station : The question whether each commodity Committee should have a central research station of its own for fundamental research or whether with a view to save expenditure on buildings, supervisor y staff and apparatus, etc., such work could be undertaken at the existing research stations of the State Governments, Central Institutes and other Commodity Com- ·17 mittees, was considered. The Committee agreed with the recommend ations made at a conference of Directors of Agriculture, Secretaries and Directors of Research of the Commodity Committees, held in March 1950, that as an experimental measure, fundamental research on oilseeds should be carried out at the existing research stations of the State Governments, Central Institutes and Commodity Committees with such financial assistance as may be necessary from this Committee. If after allotting the work between these Institutes there were still other problems left over, the question of having a separate Central Research Station for oilseeds for undertaking such items of work will be considered. Accordingly, a list of the problems which were to be tackled in the first instance as indicated in the Report on Research on Oilseed Crops by the Special Officer appointed by the Committee, was sent to all the State Governments, Institutes and Commodity Committees with the request that such of the problems as could be undertaken by them might be indicated. The allotment of work would be based not only on the suitability of the place and availability of adequate equipment but also on the competence of the persons entrusted with the work. In all 14 schemes were received from different States and Institutes. These schemes, some of which have already been mentioned in this Chapter, were examined by the Committee and the problems of fundamental work allotted to those institutions where necessary facilities were available and which could take up such work. For such work, the Committee has agreed to provide the minimum additional staff required and some grant for contingent expenditure. Plant exploration and allocation : The following decisions have been taken by the Committee in this regard : (a) Plant exploration and introduction should be a central responsibility and should be undertaken at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute under the Indian Council of Agricultural Research scheme on the subject. Introduction and distribution of new varieties will be under the control of a Co:nnittee, consisting of the Director, Indian Agricultural Research Institute, the Director, Botanical Survey of India, representative of the Forest Research Institute and the Plant Protection Adviser to the Government of India. The guid. ing principle in this connection will be to prevent duplication and the introduction of pests and diseases or potential weeds. This will, however, not apply in the case of plant breeding material, the introduction of which will be handled ·18 by plant breeders of the Central Institutes and State Governments. The handling of breeding material by various Botanists will of course be subject to the provisions of the Destructive Insects and Pests Act of 1914 as at present. (6) Collection and maintenance of live plant specimens of cultivated and wild varictics and allied species of all oilseed crops should be the responsibility of every rescarch station as a normal part of its work. Fall in acre yield of Groundnut :-With regard to the reported decreasc in the yield of groundnut, it was decided that information should be collected first from the States as to whether there had been any actual decrease in the yield of groundnuts, and if so, to what cxtent and in what areas. It was also suggested that crop cutting experiments be conducted to furnish claborate information in this. regard. The State Governments were requested accordingly. The replies indicated gencrally that the low yield noticeable in specific areas was attributable mainly to adverse scasonal conditions. It was decided that an Agricultural-cum-Information Officer with considerable experience in oilseeds research should be appointed to study the progress of work in the various schemes sanctioned by the Committee and to give wide publicity to the results of reseach achieved. The proposal has been sanctioned and steps are being taken to appoint an Officer. CHAPTER IV DEVELOPMENT OF VILLAGE OIL CRUSHING INDUSTRY The question of developing the village oil crushing industry has engaged the attention of the Committee since its inception. This industry provides a part-time remunerative occupation for the cultivators and also ensures supply of fresh oil and cake in the villages. The position of the village oil industry with special reference to its various possibilities vis-a-vis the power mills and the directions in which it requires improvement including financial assistance etc., has been surveyed by a special Committee which made a number of recommendations for the improvement of the industry. These recommendations were accepted and several of them have already been given effect to.

·19 The following are the important measures taken in this regard. (a) Organisation of Co-operative Societies of oil crushers, The co-operative organisation of the village oil crushers is considered most important for the purpose of improving the village oil crushing industry generally and particularly in such matters as the introduction of improved ghanis, the profitable purchase of oilseeds & sale of oils and oilcakes, storage, etc. Altogether eight schemes have been sanctioned in the various States up to the period under Report, for the purpose of organising these societies. The progress of work done under these schemes in certain States til March 1951, is indicated below: (1) Bihar : The scheme was originally sanctioned at a total cost of Rs. 7,920.. to the Committee for a period of one year in 1919 by the Committee at its meeting held in October 1948. Work under the scheme started on Ist September 1919 at the following centres : -() Bihar Sharif (Patna); Muzaffarpur ; Lohar Danga (Ranchi); (4) Maharajgunj (Saran) (5) Sultangunj (Bahadargarh). Till 28th February 1951, 50 societies were organised with a membership of 647. These menbers were running 381 desi ghanis with a crushing capacity of 3 seers per charge. About so Wardha ghanis were manufactured with a crushing capacity of 6 scers to 30 seers per charge. During the period 1st April 1950 to 28th February 1951, approximately 2526 mds, of mustard seeds were crushed and the total quantity of oil produced was 812 mds, valued at Rs. 303,00/-, Against the total grant of Rs. 25,000/- sanctioned for advance of loans to oilmen for purchase of Wardha Ghanis Rs. 6,450/- were advanced during the year. The scheme has since been extended for one year, from 1st September 1950 at a cost of Rs. 12,709) to the Committee. (ii) Madras : The scheme was originally, sarissaned at a cost of Rs. 3,5431. for a period of six months and was stasted from first April 1919. The report of the work done under the scheme during the period Ist April 1919 to 30th September 1919 and the recommendations made therein were considered by the Committee at its meeting held in March 1931. The Registrar of Co-operative Societies, Madras, submitted a proposal for the appointment of a special staff for continuing the work further in this direction. The Committee felt that the proposal was very useful for the develop- ·20 ment of the indigenous oil crushing industry in the State and, therefore, desired that the State Government be moved to undertake the scheme, sharing its cost on a 50:50 basis with the Commitee: The State Government were requested accordingly and their decision in the matter is awaited. (iii) Orissa : The scheme was originally sanctioned for a year at a total cost of Rs. 7,200/- to the Committee and was started in 1950. - An extension for one year was approved by the Committee at its meeting held in March 1951 at a total cost of Rs. 8,893,- to the Committee. Though the scheme was undertaken from 3rd January 1950, work actually commenced from 3rd June 1950 after the Inspectors appointed under the scheme joined their duties. Upto June 1950, five societies were organised and three new societies were registered with a total of 369 ghanis in different ghani co-operatives with a working capital of Rs. 1,30,962 - These societies produced 698 mds. of different kinds of oil worth Rs. 91,780/- and earned a net profit of Rs. 5,323/-. (iv) Punjab : The scheme which was originally sanctioned at a cost of Rs. 7,420/- from May 1949 was approved for a further extension of one year at the meeting of the Committee held in March 1951 at a total cost of Rs. 8,425/- to the Committee. The total number of societies started since the commencement of the scheme upto December 1950, was 90 out of which 60 were registered. The working capital of the 60 societies registered was Rs. 85,588!-. Up to this period about 165 ghanis were set up and financial assistance rendered to the members during the 6 months July- December 1951 alone amounted to Rs. 23,945/-, (v) Vindhya Pradesh : The scheme which was sanctioned at a cost of Rs. 7,200/- to the Committee for one year was recommended for postponement by the Committee at its meeting held in April 1950. (6) Scheme to popularise Wardha ghanis by opening demonstration centres in the different States. As reported earlier, the object of the scheme is to popularise in different States the Wardha ghani which is an improvement over the old indigenous ghani by opening demonstration centres and giving loans and subsidy to the oil men for putting up improved ghanis etc.

·21 Schemes in this regard are already running in the States of Bihar, Orissa and U. P. The progress of work done under the scheme in these States is indicated below: (1) Bihar : Reference has been made to this activity in Bihar under Section (i) of the previous section (a) of this Chapter. (ii) Orissa : The scheme was sanctioned at a cost of Rs. 7,2001- to the Committee for one year. Work under the scheme was caken up with effect from 27th September 1950 with the starting of six demonstration units consisting of three Wardha ghanis each. (it) U. P. Work under the scheme is in progress since 1948-49 and the Committees share of the expenditure on it during 1948-49, 1949-50 and 1950-51 which was Rs. 11,5957, Rs. 28, 148/- and Rs. 25,258)-, respect. ively, was approved by the Committee at its meeting held in March 1951. in stone During the three year 1918-19, 1919-51 and 1950-51, the scheme had been running 44 districts and about 1156 ghanis were set up. Besides the number of ghanus set up approximately 200 more improved ghanis were introduced by other organisations in the State. Many of the crushers which were lying adle in the State were converted into Wardha type of ghanis .The total number of stone crushers converted into Wardha ghanis during the years 1948-49, 1949-50, 1950-51 was 278, About 307 carpenters were also trained during this period. (c) Loans to co-operative societies of oilmen. The Committee suggested earlier to the State Governments that interest free loans may be given to the co-operative societies for purchase and supply of seeds to oilmen. The Committee would share with the State Governments the interest on loans up to lakhs of rupees for each State depending upon the importance of the State for the ghani industry and the progress of co-operative societies of oilmen etc. The interest on loans over and above this amount would be met entirely by the State Governments. Proposals were received in this connectio.3 fron Orissa, Punjab, Bihar and Saurashtra. The Governments of Orissa and Saurashtra proposed to sanction Rs. one lakh each as advance of interest free ·22 loans, while the Governments of Punjab and Bihar proposed Rs. two lakhs and Rs. 50,000/- respectively. The Committee at its meeting held in March 1951, sanctioned these proposals to the extent asked for, or up to a maximum of Rs. 5,000/- as its contribution towards loss of interest from its funds, whichever was less. A proposal was also received form the Mysore Government that this Committiee should advance the entire loan also from the Committee's funds in addition to its share of loss of interest thereon. The Committee, however, agreed only to grant its share towards the loss of interest upto 50 percent. The State Government were informed accordingly.. (d). Village Oil Industry Research and Training Institute. As reported earlier, the Committee had sanctioned a scheme for the starting of a Village Oil Industry Research and Training Institute at Nagpur, at a cost of Rs. 1,21,1147- spread over three years including a non-recurring expenditure of Rs. 55,564/-. The Institute was intended for training organisers in the eficient crushing of oil in ghanis and in the manufacture of soap, hair oil, etc., as a cottage industry and also for training carpenters in the manufacture and repair of the Wardha Ghani. While arrangements for starting the Institute were in progress, Dr. J. C. Kumarappa, President, All India Village Industries Association, Wardha, sent a proposal to the Hon'ble Minister for Food & Agriculture, Government of India, that the training contemplated could be undertaken by his Association. The scheme was, therefore, modified in consultation with the Association. Both the Committee and the Government of India approved of the revised arrangements proposed. The arrangements were as follows :- Two categories of staff are to be trained-organisers and carpenters. As their designation denotes, the organisers are intended to help in establishing the industry on sound lines by rendering advice and practical help in all aspects of the industry. Apart from a thorough study of co-operative organisation, their training will include practical instruction in the design, construction and working of improved ghanis; the organisation of side industries like soaps, hair-oils, purgatives, lubricants, boiled oil, paints etc.; theoretical instructions in matters relating to the production of oilseeds, their classification and grading and the various processes prior to crushing such as identification, screening, decortication, storage, etc.; statistical intelligence relating to prices and trade; studies of the finished products including qualities in oils and oilcakes and their proper handling, ·23 storage and utilisation in industry. This is more or less exhaustive and the whole training is expected to last 5 months. In the case of carpenters, a 2 months' course is provided for, which includes practical training in the construction and maintenance and actual operation of ghanis (both wooden and cement) and decorticators and theoretical training in the general principles of wood technology in relation to ghani construction. The scheme provides for training two batches of organisers and tw) batches of carpenters every year, each batch consisting of 30 persons. The cost of their training which includes their living ex. penses in Wardha on the basis of the standard of living and discip. line enforced by the Association, and their tuition fees, is borne entirely by the Committee, in the shape of a grant to the Association. The candidates to be trained are to be nominated by the State Governments from among persons already cmployed in this profession or those whom the Governments concerned will be in a position to employ after training, in the organisation of the village oil industry. This is done with a view to ensure that the training received by the persons is not wasted. As a further inducement, persons selected for the training are also granted travelling allowance to Wardha and back by the Committee. The State Governments were requested to nominate their candidates for the training which is expected to start soon. (e) Award of a prize for best model of village ghani. The Committee at its first meeting felt that the present village ghanis were not very efficient in that their turn-over was low and the percentage of oil left in the cake was high and suggested that the design and the efficiency of these ghanis should be improved. With this object in view the Committee announced the award of a prize of Rs. 5,000/- to any person or body who designs the best model of village ghani, satisfying certain conditions, viz., the capacity of the ghani per charge should be over 10 seers; the time taken to crush one charge should be not more than one hour in the case of til seed; it must be run by a single bullock; the price should not exceed Rs. 200/- ; the cake should not contain more than 10 per cent of oil. The last date for receipt of entries was 31st March 1950. The Committee appointed a Special Sub-Committee at its meeting held in April 1950 to scrutinise and select the best model of village ghani for the award of prize. The Special Sub-Committee met at Wardha on the 28th December 1950 and held trials of the ghanis selected by it. The report of them al Sub- Co.nmitted og the result of trials wae -- ttee at ·24 its mccting held in March 1951. As the trial of all the ghanis selected by it could not be hield simultancously, the Committee agreed with the rccoinmcndations of the Special Sub-Committee that those ghanis be tricd again bcforc a final decision was taken in the matter. () Other important recommendations made and action taken. The recommendations of the Committee and the decisions taken at its mectings held in April 1950 and March 1951, on some of the important matters relating to oil crushing and action taken on these, arc bricfly cnumcratcd below : (1) In connection with the organisation of co-operative societies of oilmen, certain Statc Governments experienced difficulties in organising the same as the requisite number of oilmon was not available in a single village or union or even within thc area covered by four or five unions. The Committee, therefore, recommended in this connection that : (a) wherever ncccssary, consuincrs should also be included as members in these socictics in addition to oilmen, as thcir presence in these co-operative socictics will protect the consumers' interest in putting into the market purc ghani oil; and , (b) consuincrs should be requested to invest money in these socictics. The Government of India agrced with the recommendations of the Committee which was communicated to all the State Governments for information. (2) The Committee accepted the report of the Village Oil Industry Survey Sub-Committee including the principle of levying a cess on the oils crushed by power mills recommended therein. It was unanimously decided that the cess might be fixed at the rate of one anna per maund for the first five years and thereafter at the rate of two annas per maund on all oils crushed in oil mills. The recommendations of the Committee have been forwarded to the Government of India for their consideration. (3) It was decided that two of the Japanese hand presses which were being worked at the Cottage Industries Centre at Arab-ki-Sarai, New Delhi, should be purchased for installing at the Committee's Institute for Village Oil Industries Research & Training at Nagpur, for comparative study with the improved ghani.

·25 Necessary enquiries are being made from the Ministry of Rehabilitation regarding the supply of these hand presses. CHAPTER V DEVELOPMENT OF MARKETING New schemes sanctioard. (1) Scheme for revising the report on the marketing of Innseed in India. The necessity of compiling up-to-date information with regard to supply, demand etc., of oilseeds and their products cannot be overemphasised. In view of the valuable information contained in the several reports on the Marketing of oilseeds and their products published by the Agricultural Marketing Adviser to the Government of India, the Committee desired that action should be taken to bring these reports up-to-date. With this object in view, if sanctioned, as a first step, a scheme for revising the report on the Marketing of Linseed in India at a cost of Rs. 17,000,-. The Government of India have agreed to the proposal and further action is expected to be taken shortly. (2) Scheme for issue of free grants to eight co-operative societies in the Madras State to construct decorticating factories or godowns for stocking groundnuts; and (3) Scheme for subsidising co-operative societies or unions for the construction of godowns and for the purchase of machinery for processing and decortication in the Bombay State. The Committee had decided earlier that interest-free-loans may be advanced to the societies and unions from the groundnut fund which will benefit groundnut cultivators, on the usual conditions enforced by the State Governments for advancing such loans, the loss of interest being borne by the State Government and the Indian Central Oilseeds Committee on a 50:50 basis. The above recommendations were agreed to by the Government of India and the State Governments of Madras and Bombay were requested to send schemes on the above lines. The Madras Government's scheme in this respect to grant a loan of Rs. 96,000/- to four Market Committees was approved by the Committce at its meeting held in March 1951, The Government of India's approval has also since been obtained and the scheme has been sanctioned.

·26 The Committee also sanctioned a scheme received from the Bombay Government for granting a loan of Rs. one lakh to be advanced out of the groundnut fund for the issue of interest free-loans to the Co-operative Societies for the construction of godowns at the rate of Rs. 10,000/- to each. The Government of India's sanction to the scheme was obtained and communicated to the State Governments. (4) Grade specifications of vegetable oils. With a view to draw up grade specifications of different vegetable nils produced in the country and also to draw up all India Standard specifications for these oils, the Committee had sanctioned a scheme under the Agricultural Marketing Adviser to the Government of India. Work under the scheme started on 28th September 1949 and was extended upto January 1951. Under the scheme, a large number of representative samples of different qualities of oils both edible and non-edible produced in power mills, ghanis, etc., put on the markets in the different parts of the country, were collected and analysed. The report of the work done under the scheme is under preparation on receipt of which further action in the matter will be taken by the Committee. The Committee incurred a total expenditure of Rs. 99,000/- on the scheme. Important recommendations made and action taken. The recommendations of the Committee and the decisions taken at its meetings during the period under the report on some of the matters relating to development of marketing and action taken on these are briefly stated below :- (1) Compulsory grading of vegetable oils. The consideration of the question of grading of oils under AG- MARK Standard on a compulsory basis was recommended for postponement for the present. (2) Standard Contract Terms for oilseeds and oils. It was reported in the previous Annual Report that with a view to improving the quality of oilseeds marketed, the Trade Associations in India had been requested to trade on the basis of all-India Standard Contracts drawn up by the Agricultural Marketing Adviser in consultation with the Trade. < Standard Contract Terms for vegetable oil transactions were drawn up and circulated to the interests concerned for comments and views. Modified standard contract terms for groundnut oil and ·27 castor oil together with explanatory notes were cir culated to the Trade Associations, Chambers of Commerce and the Registrars of Co-operative Societies with the request to persuade the members to adopt these terms in trading in oils. Similar terms for linseed oil art under preparation which will be arculated to the Trade when ready. (3) Establishment of regulated markets for oils. The need for establishing regulated markets for oilseeds with a view to improving the quality of oilseeds and eliminating mal-practices like adulteration was considered and it was recommended to the State Governments that those Governments which had not so far enacted any law for setting up regulated markets may pass necessary legislation in this regard and that other States, having already legislation in this regard, may consider extending the scope of their acts to the oilseeds trade also. The matter is being pursued with the State Governments. (6) Edible oils (Grading & Marking) Rules, 1950. Amendments proposed to the Edible Oils (Grading and Marking) Rules 1939, published in the Ministry of Agriculture Notification No. F. 10-205/49 C. O. dated the 14th December 1949, were approved. (5) Adulteration of vegetable oils.' The problem of adulteration of vegetable oils with mineral oil and of mustard oil with argemone oil has been reviewed from time to time by this Commitee and various recommendations made to the Government with a view to prevent mal-practices. The various steps taken by this Committee were reported in the Committee's previous annual Report. The question was further considered by the Committee during the period under the report. It was pointed out that the large quantities of transformer oil, switch oil and insulating oil, all of which were essential for the electrical industry, were suspected to be disposed of by unscrupulous employees of the electrical undertakings to vegetable oil dealers for adulteration purposes. It was further suspected that the electrical undertakings disposed of used transformer oils openly to any and every customer and that this rejected oil with high acid value was used to a large extent for adulterating edible oils. It was, therefore, arranged through the Central Electricity Commission to circularise the electrical undertakings in the country to ensure that used transformer Oils must not be disposed of without the oil being first denatured by the addition of kerosene oil or other denatucants. The position was also brought to the notice of the State Governments with a request to keep a strict watch on the disposal of ·28 transformer oil, switch oil. insulating oil, etc. In response to the above recommendation, the Government of India requested the State Governments to keep a close watch over the sale and use of these oils in their jurisdiction and to strictly enforce the Pure Food Laws to minimise the adulteration of edible oils. In order to check that the imports of these oils are accounted for by each importer, monthly returns of the imports made of these oils are obtained from Customs authorities and also from every importer showing the disposal of these oils. The information contained in these returns is passed on by the Government of India to the State Governments concerned every month to enable them to watch the disposal of the oil as far as possible. For indigenously produced mineral oil etc., it has been arranged with the Oil Companies in the country that they should submit monthly returns of purchases direct to the State Governments, for enabling them to keep a close watch over the disposal of these oils. As the Soap and Vanaspati industries in the country consumed a large quantity of edible oil, the Committee felt that the co-operation of these industries should be availed of in checking the adulteration of edible oils as far as possible. Accordingly the All India Associations of the two industries were requested to arrange with their members to report to the Associations concerned cases of the adulteration detected by them. (6) Representation on the Export Advisory Council. It should be urged strongly to the Government that the Committee should be given representation on the Export Advisory Council and that the representative of the Committee should be briefed by the Committee from time to time so that the point of view of the Committee might be made available to the Export Advisory Council at every State. The Government have been requested accordingly. (7) Procurement of oilcakes. A uniform policy in regard to procurement etc., of oilcakes should be evolved ; in any case the prices offered for the cake by the States should be more or less equal ised and as far as possible the cost of production of oilcakes at the mills should be taken into account by the State Governments while fixing their procurement prices. The above recommendations of the Committee have been ·communicated to the Government of India whose decision in the matter is awaited. 29 It was agreed that the Committee was against any kind of price control on any oilseed and oil. (8) Export of oilcakes, The Committee reiterated its previous recommendation that as there was acute shortage of oilcake which is used both as cattle feed and for manuring purposes in this country, the export of oilcakes should not be permitted at present. It was decided to prepare a list of oilcakes and their quantities which this country did not require and could be exported so that the ban on the export of cakes could be removed to that extent. The information is being collected from the different State Governments etc. (9) Export oj oilseeds. As recommended earlier by the Committee, Government should, as far as possible, encourage the export of oils in preference to oilseeds. If, however, the Government found it necessary to lift the ban on the export of groundnut, sufficient publicity should be given to this decision so that all competitors might have equal opportunity to compete in the export. In granting the permits for the export of groundnut seeds, proper scrutiny should be made to ensure that contracts entered into before the removal of the ban are not honoured for the issue of export permits. The Government of India were moved accordingly. The Government intimated that the ban had been, in fact, retained longer than was originally intended. Adequate publicty through trade notices and press note was given to the traders to register their sales. Instructions were also issued to the effect that sales already entered into prior to the lifting of ban were not to be honoured. (10) (a) Free inter-state movement of oilseeds and vegetable oils etc. The difficulties experienced by the trade in moving oilseeds and their products from one place in the country to another and also in the export trade are reviewed by the Committee from time to time. The Con nittee's recommendation has always been that there should be free movement of oilseeds, oils and oilcakes between and within the different States of the Indian Union and that the export duty levied on these articles by some of the States should be abolished as Bar as possible. As a result of this the Government of India with- ·30 drew in 1950 the powers to restrict the movement of oils and oildakes which were conferred on the State Governments under the Essential Supply (Temporary Powers) Act, 1946. Only the Saurashtra Government till then had banned the movement of groundnuts-fanid the matter was under the active consideration of the Government of India. As regards oilcakes, the Committee appreciated the position of the State Governments with regard to their requirements of oilcake for the Grow More Campaign and recommended that a certain proportion of the production of mills may be reserved by the State Government to meet their requirements, the balance being disposed of and moved by the millers without any restriction. The Central Government had no declared policy that free movement of oilcake should be allowed throughout the country and the Committee's 'recommendation was under their consideration. (6) Inter State movements. In view of the difficulties experiencei in exporting vegetable oils and oilseeds from Saurashtra and certain other States due to the different policies adopted by these State Governments, the Committee reiterated its previous recommendation that inter-State bans and restrictions on the movement of oilseeds and oils including movement between Saurashtra and other parts of the Indian Union should be removed. (c) The Government of India should be requested to míovë thë Saurashtra Government to remove the ban on the export of groundnut and groundnut oil to other parts of the Indian Union and not to encourage State trading as it would not be possible for the State to undertake such trading successfully.. The export to foreign countries from Saurashtra should be in the form of oil and not in seed. In response to these recommendations, the Government' of India have intimated that Saurashtra had been permitted to undertake the selling of groundnut and oil for export on their own account in consideration of certain factors peculiar to the State. The question of removing the ban on the movement of oils and oilseeds from Saurashtra to other parts of Indian Uņion was stated to be under the consideration of the Government of India, (11) (a) Tank wagons for vegetable oils. The Committee had considered the supply position of tank wagons on railways and requested the Government to provide more tank wagons for transporting vegetable oil. It also recommended that tank ܢܙ ·31 wagöns should not be subject to priority restrictions. All possible endeavours were made by the Railway Board to procure additional tank wagons and by April 1950 about 650 broad gauge tank wagons were put into secvice. Necessary instructions were also issued to the effect That petrol in tank wagons and bulk traffic moving in tank wagons should be excluded from priority restrictions unless it was absolutely necessary to include these when imposing sestrictions on general traffic. Even though more wagons were stated to have been put on the sailways, difficulty was reported to be still experienced on the certain rail ways for tank wagons for moving vegetable oils from the interior to terminal markets. The Railwry Board wese, therefore, requested to make an equitable distribution of the existing tank wagons on the different railways both on the broad gauge and meter gauge railways. Further, with a view to derermine the sequirements of tank wagons by the vegetable oil industry, various Trade Associations, etc., concerned in the country were addressed in the matter. The question will be pursued with the Ministry of Railways, (Railway Board,) after the information has been collected. (6) Providing tanker facilities in steamer for bulk export of oils. The question of providing the above facilities was pursued with the Indian Shipping Companies. It was suggested that several compactments should be provided in every tanker to facilitate small shipments and also different kinds of oils. The matter is being pursued further, (c) Providing facilities at the parts for storing, oil meant for export. The question of providing necessary facilities at the Ports for the shipment of bulk oil on the lines of the arrangement made at the Madras pori is also being pursued with the port authorities and the trade interests concerned at Bombay and Calcutta. (d) Storage facilities at Railway stations for bulk movement of ori. In consultation with the trade in the country, information regarding the land space required at different railways by the parties concerned for erecting storage tanks at their own cost was forwarded to the Ministry of Railways, (Railway Board), for allotment of suitable plots to the parties. The Ministry of Railways, (Railway Board), have passed on the information to the Divisional Superintendents of different railways for necessary action. (e) Allocation of wagons for moving empty containers for oils. The Committee recommended to the Government as early as ·32 March 1948, that adequate transport facilities and priority for transporting empty containers for oils from various consuming centres to the producing mills should be provided by the Railway Board. The Committee reviewed the position in this respect at its meeting held in March 1951 and recommended that just as there was high priorty for the movement of oils for shipment abroad there should be similar priority for the movement of empty containers also for packing vegetable oils. The recommendation of the Committee has been communicated to the Government of India and their decision in the matter is. awaited. (12) Forward Contracts (Regulation) Bill, 1950. The Committee while agreeing generally with the reported views of the Expert Committee appointed by the Government of India on the Forward Contracts (Regulation) Bill 1950, suggested certain modifications. These were : (i) The Expert Committee appointed by the Government of India recommended that in granting recognition to an Association the Government may nominate one member on their own behalf and not more than three on behalf of interests not directly represented on any Association. The Oilseeds Committee endorsed this and recommended that of the three members not less than one should be nominated from the Growers. In the revised bill the Government of India accepted the recommendation of the Expert Committee and presumably the Committee's recommendation will be considered by Government at the time of making nominations. (ii) The Expert Committee desired that every recognised Association should provide in its bye-laws inter alia that every member of the association should be required to submit to the association daily reports of the business done by it. The Oilseeds Committee recommended that such daily reports should be required to be submitted for a specific period that , may be decided upon by the governing body of the association, if and when found necessary. The Committee's recommendation was accepted by the Government of India by making provision in the revised bill that the". Byelaws of the Association should provide for the obligation of members to supply such information or explanation and to produce such books relating to their business as the governing body may require.

·33 (ii) The Oilseeds Committee agreed with the recommendation of the Expert Committee that a special body to be called the "Forward Markets Commission" be established for administering the Act. 3t, however, observed that the possibility of carrying on this work with non-official members instead of whole-time Government Officers should be examined. In the revised bill, the provision made in this regard is to the effect that the Commission shall consist of not more than three members appointed by the Central Goverament of whom the Chairman shall be a full-time member and the others full-time or parttime as the Central Government may direct and one of the members of the Commission shall be an officer of the Central Government and another a person having wide experience in the organisation and working of forward markets in India. (13) (a) Award of prize for groundnut decorticator. The entries received in connection with the award of a prize of Rs. 2,000,- for the best model of groundnut hand decorticator received upto 10th April 1950, should be placed before the Special Sub-Committee constituted for selecting the best model. The Special Sub-Committee which was constituted at the meeting held in April 1950 met at Delhi on 20th December 1950, and scrutinised all the entries received in this connection and selected models for trial. It was decided that the trial should be conducted at Wardha, (b) Award of a prize for Mohwa seed decorticator. A prize of Rs. 2,000,- should be affeced fos the devising of a suitable hand driven machine for decorticating Mohwa seeds in the villages. Action is being taken to deaw in a specification of the desparticator after which necessary announcements will be issued widely. CHAPTER VI TECHNOLOGICAL RESEARCH. A Completed schrm- (1) Design and manufacture of a small hand filter press. This scheme for the designing and manufacture of a sinall hand filter press suitable for use in the villages with country ghari, ·31 was sanctioned at a total cost of Rs. 1,500,-, was started at 11e Harcourt Butler Technological Institute, Kanpur, in February 1950. It tcrminated in June 1950. The filter press manufactured under the scheme is a plate--andframe type without washing arrangement and can be worked by hand for hours. It can filter 2-3 mis. of average mustard oil in an hour. Its approximalc cost is about Rs. 250/-. . The filter press has been sent to the All India Village Industrics Association for finding our its suitability under village conditions. B Schemra snnctioner. The schemes relating to Technological Research so far sanctioncd by the Committee, their object and progress of work made under each of them are bricfly enumerated below : - (1) Scheme for the trial of Windrum and other fibre making machines for the manufacture of linseed fibre fron linseed straw. Windrum machine:--As reported in the last annual report, a Windrum machine which was reported to be very useful for extraction of fibre from linseed straw, was imported by the Committee from U. K. and was installed at the Harcourt Butler Technological Institutc, Kanpur, for trial. It has been found that the fibre extracted by this machine can be easily mixed with jute the manufacture of sacking matcriai. It has also been observed that the machine is not suitable for the extraction of fibre either from unretted straw or from fully retted straw. To solve this problem a special retting techniquc has been evolved at Harcourt Butler Technological Institute and is being adopted at the two centres in U. P. where large scale trials with the machinc are being carried out. Dr. Richharia's Hand machine :-Two hand driven fibre making machines invented by Dr. Richharia, Economic Botanist to the Government of Bihar, were also purchased and tried at Harcourt Butler Technological Institute, Kanpur. The fibre obtained from the machine was crude and required further cleaning. The process was very slow and may be suitable to cottage workers only. The resultant fibre may find use in rope making but not for weaving and spinning purposes.

·35 Dr. Richharia's Power machine :The Committee has decided to purchase a power driven machine designed by Dr. Richharia, with a view to make a comparative study of its working with the Windrum fibre making machine at Kanpur, Japanese fibre making machine :-The Japanese fibre making machine which is being worked at the Work-cum-Production Centre, Ministry of Rehabilitation, Arab-Ki-Sarai, New Delhi, for production of various fibres, was examined with a view to find out its utility in extracting linseed fibre from linseed straw. Experiments in this regard are in progress. In addition to these trials, literature from Italy regarding a process for separating the fibre from textile plants without retting and from Belgium regarding deseeding, scutching and other machines, was obtained and passed on to the Principal, Harcourt Butler Technological Institute, Kanpur, for study in connection with the trials in progress there. A leaflet on the "Extraction and utilisation of linseed fibre", in the light of the results of trials so far conducted was prepared by Dr. Dhingra, Principal, Horcourt Butler Technological Institute, Kanpur, at the instance of the Committee. The leaflet has been sent to various linseed producing States for translation into regional languages and distribution to cultivators and others interested. The Committee also arranged to supply duel purpose linseed strains from the Indian Agricultural Research Institute to various linseed producing States for trial and multiplication. (2) Scheme for undertaking manufacture of a small solvent extraction plant in India. This scheme, at a total cost of Rs. 12,000/- to the Committee, was sanctioned in the year 1949. The work was undertaken at the Harcourt Butler Technological Institute, Kanpur, under the super. vision of the Oil Expert to the U. P. Government. The progress of work during the period under report had been very slow due to difficulties in procuring certain controlled materials required in the fabrication of the plant. Four units of the plant viz., the extractor, cake drier, evaporator and condenser have been fabricated and the plant is expected to be erected soon for trial.

·.30 (3) Scheme for the investigation of nutritive value of different oilcakes produced by the ghani and expeller process. The scheme was sanctioned in November 1949 for a period of three years at the Indian Veterinary Research Institute, Izatnagar. The main object of the scheme is to find out the nutritive value of various types of oilcakes produced by ghani and expeller process and also the percentage of oil essential in the cake for cattle nutrition. Solvent extracted cakes also are proposed to be tried under the investigations. Besides, the relative feeding value of cottonseed and cottonseed cake will also be studied. Work under the scheme started in January 1950 and the progress made till August 1950 is as follows:-- Fat requirement of adult bullocks:-Nine adult Kumaoni bullocks were divided into three groups. They were fed on a ration consist ing of wheat bhoosa, green grass and a concentrate mixture. The concentrate mixtures for all the three groups were composed of the components and had the same Starch Equivalent and Digestible protein value. The percentage of fat in the concentrate mixtures was, however, different in all the three groups. After feeding the experimental diet for a sufficent period to eliminate the effect of previous feeds, etc., a metabolism experiment was performed to determine the effect of different levels of fat ingestion on the assimi-- lation of various nutrients. The results are being assessed. Arrangements to study the fat requirement of growing animals are being made. Comparative nutritive value of cotton seed and cottonseed cake:- 12 milch animals of almost similar age, lactation and milk yield were divided into three groups. Group I was fed on a standard dairy ration 50 per cent of the Digestible Protein of which was replaced by cottonseed in group II and by cottonseed cake in Group III. The quality and the quantity of milk yield is being observed and the observations will continue over the full lactation period. A metabolism experiment on these animals was performed to study the nutritive value of cottonseed and cottonseed cake as compared to the standard dairy ration and also as compared to one another. Experiments to study the comparative nutritive value of muscard cake by ghani and expeller processes are in progress.

·C Ceveral. important recommendations made and action takes. (!) Research on oil technology: The Committee considered the final report of the Oil Technologist appointed by it to study the technological research work done on oilseeds and their products in the various research institutes in India and to suggest the future programme at work in this regard. The various recommendations as summarised in the report were noted by the Committee and it was agreed that instead of setting up a central technological instituce under this Committee, the problems involved should be distributed to the various institutes according to the availability of facilities and expert staff. The Committee also appointed a small ad hoc Committee to examine the list of problems along with any other problem which has been noticed and to make recommendations regarding the allocation of subjects between the various institutions and also the method of financing the projects. The recommendations of the ad hoc Committee will be placed before the next meeting of the Committee. (2) Representation on the Council of Scientific and Industriai Research from the Committee. It was decided that this Committee should be represented on the Vegetable Oils Committee of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research for co-ordination of the work relating to technological research on vegetable oils and their products. The Council accepted this recommendation and Shri K. P. Bhargava, a member of the Committee and also an Oil Technologist, was nominated as its representative on the Vegetable Oils Committee of the Council. (3) Pool of Technological Experts : It was decided that a pool of experts (Oil Technologists) should be maintained consisting of speciallists nominated by various universities and of the Heads of Research Isostitutions and that the Technological Sub-Committee should, as Occasions arose, co opt expects from this pool in connection with specific problems relating to oil technology, (+) Admixture of argemone with mustard :mIt was decided that the results of experiments on the tolerance limit of algemone oil in mustard oil, which was being conducted at the Indian Veterinary Rese. arch Institute, Izatosagar and the Harcourt Buties Technological Institu- ·38 te, Kanpur, should be ascertained. It was also decided that further information should be obtained with regard to the investigations on the detoxication of mustard oil containing argemone oil and separation of argemone seeds from mustard Seeds which were being carried out by two Patna Scientists. Information regarding the investigation, if any, made on the feeding quality of detoxicated mustard oil, should also be obtained. The Committee was anxious that the above mentioned investigations should be completed at an early date and suggested that if any financial help was required from the Committee in this regard, it should be rendered by it. The matter is under correspondence with the authorities concerned. (5) Machinery for processing neem seed :—It was decided to place a sum of Rs. 14,5007. at the disposal of the Harcourt Butler Technological Institute, Kanpur, for expenditure in connection with the devising of suitable machinery for pulping, drying and decorticating neem seeds. The U. P. Government under whose supervision the work will be conducted have agreed to provide the staff and working expenses. The Government of India's sanction is no.v to be obtained to the Committee's 'share of expenditure. (6) Mohwa Cake :-The difficulty which the cultivators were at present experiencing in utilising mohwa cake as manure arose from the presence of saponin in the cake. It was pointed out that as a result of research work done on the subject during the past 20 years it had been found that composting and washing it with water resulted in the removal of saponin and the cake could then be taken up by the soil, satisfactorily. * The Committee, therefore, decided that a pamphlet should be prepared in popular language setting forth the work done already on the subject and the method to be followed in utilising the cake and that it should be widely circulated throughout the country in the various regional languages. It was also recommended that all the State Governments should be requested to use mohwa cake as maurs. It was further desired that the National Chemical Laboratory, Poona, and the Harcourt Butler Technological Institute, Kanpur, should be requested to carry out further work, if necessary, on the elimination of saponin from the cake by some easy process which could be taken up by the cultivators.

·Action is being taken on the above recommendations. 39 (7) Utilisation of cheaper non-edible oils :-The Forest Research Institute, Dehra Dun, had published leaflets on the non-edible oilbearing plants. The Committee desired that these should be obtained with a view to exploit the information contained therein. The various leaflets published by the Forest Research Institute, Dehra Dun, were accordingly obtained. The information contained in these leaflets has been extr cted and furnished to the State Governments who were requested to examine the possibilities of utilising larger quantities of non-edible oils and also to indicate the quantity of different non-edible cilseeds produced and the quantity of oil that could be obtained therefrom The information received from the State Governments was consolidated and placed before the Committee at us meeting held in March 1951. It was also decided that research work should be undertaken at the National Chemical Laboratory, Poona, on the utilisation of cheaper non-edible oils for lubricating and other purposes in place of mineral oil. Training of technical staff for oil mills The question of training of Technical staff for oil mills was taken up with the Director General of Resettlement and Employment. The Regional Directors of the Directorate contacted the individual mills in their areas and their views in the marter were collected by them. Th: details of th: training indicating the time and period of training, the number of trainees, etc., are being worked out by the Directorate. Maoufacture of paper palp from cantor sleme The experiments are in progress at the Forest Research Insti. tute, Dehra Dun. The experiments carried out so far revealed that the yield of unbleached and bleached pulp was satisfactory Its strength, properties and colour were also found to be upto the mark. However, the bleach consumption was high and was attributed to the bad conditions of storage of the castor stems tried. Furtier experiments in order to investigate the causes of high bleach consumption and also the possibilities of its use for manufacturing writing paper, are proposed to be undertaken with a supply of tresh castor stalks from Hyderabad.

·CHAPTER VII STATISTICS OF OILS AND OILSEEDS (i) Acrcage and vield statistics. With a vicw to improving the statistics of acreage and production of oilsccds, the Committee sanctioned carlier a pilot scheme for conducting crop cutting cxperiments on oilseed crops. The total cxpenditure on the scheme is estimated at Rs. 35,675/- spread over onc ycar, 23rd of which is to be borne by this Committee. Under this scheme, crop cutting experiments on linseed will be carried out in onc district of Madhya Pradesh, on rape and mustard in onc district of U. P., on til and castor cach in one district of Madras and on groundnut on a state-wide scale in Madras. In Madhya Pradesh, the statistical analysis of the data from the crop cutting experiments on linsced by the random sampling method, will be carried out in the Land Records Dept. in conjunction with the analysis of the results of the co-ordinated scheme for crop-cutting cxpcriments on food crops. The technical details of the survey on linsced in Madliya Pradesh will, however, be settled by the State Government with the Statistical Advisor, Indian Council of Agricultural Rescarch. The cxpcriments in U. P. and Madras will be coducted by the Statistical Advisor, Indian Council of Agricultural Rescarch. Work under the scheme, which could not be started during the period under report, is expecte i to be taken up during 19951-52. Statistics of acreage and production of oilseeds and of oilseeds crushed and oil produced in various mills, are given in APPENDIX IV. (ii) Cost of production :- The question of invcrigating into the cost of production of oilseed crops has been engaging the attention of the Committee for some time. The Committee sa actioned a pilot scheme in this regard at an expenditure of Rs. 57,392!- to be equally shared by this Committee, Indian Central Cotton Committee and the Indian Council of Agricultural Research. The scheme is awaiting final acceptance by the Indian Central Cotton Committee and the Indian Council of Agricultural Research of their respective shares of the expenditure involved.

·PUBLICATION OF LITERATURE The Committee, ac its meeting held in March 1951, considered the question of encouraging the publication of literature relating to vegetable oilseeds and their products and felt that in view of the comparative scarcity of useful literature on the subject it should cacourage the publication of articles, journals and books by rendering financial help subject to certain conditions. For dealing with such applications the Committee also appointed a small Technical Committee for examining the manuscripts. The recommendations have been brought to the notice of the State Governments, Universities and Research Institutions. A number of applications have been received and will be considered at the next meeting of the Commsttee. GENERAL (1) Increased contributions from the Committee. The Committee observed that in many cases the schemes were not smplemented by the States because it was found that the expesditure to be borne by the State Governments imposed a very heavy strain on their finances. It was, therefore, recommended that the whols question of costribution by the Committee towards such schemas should be taken up with the Government of India with a view ta smparting a larger measure of assistance to the State Governments. An ad hoc Committee was appointed and authorised by the Committee to negotiate with the States and the Government of India regarding the basis on which the expenditure should be shared by th: Committee in the different schemes which had not been implemented by the State Governments due to their inability to bear theis share under existing conditions. The ad hoc Committee dicussed the matter with the Hon'ble Mintiser for Finance and reccomended high contributions from the Committee in certain cases. The Government of India have generally agreed to these seco.zmendations and increased contributions have accordingly been sanctioned in a number of cases. (i) Planning of production of oilseeds and vegetable oils and their products, The following resolution proposed by Shri Dip Nacain Sinha has been adopted Realising the importance of the development of the cultivation of oilseeds and of the oil producing industries on proper lines, a well planned scheme for the purpose is now considered very essential.

·42 This meeting (March 1951) of the Indian Central Oilseeds Committee, therefore, resolves to prepare suitable overall scheme taking into account the following factors :- 1. The quantitics of oil rcquired for consumption in the country, 2. The quantities of oilcakes for manures, cattle feed and ollier purposes. 3. Quantities of oilseeds, oils and oilcakes now produced in the country on an arca-wisc basis. 1. Total quantities of oilsсeds required to be produced for mecting the full requirement of the country. 5. Quantitics of oilsccds and oils required for foreign markets. fi, Area under oilseeds cultivation at present. The plan should include all oilsсeds, vegetable oils and their products and should contain suggestion for developing the cultivation of oilsсeds suitable for different areas in the country ; suggestions for developing research, technological and narketing work including development of village oil crushing industry ; and periodical argets for achievement in each direction. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Secretary is grateful to the President, Sardar Datar Singh and to Professor N. G. Ranga, Vice-President of the Committee for the kind assistance and guidance received from them. He also wishes to thank the other in:mbers of the Committee, Oficers of the Ministry of Agriculture, thic Trade Associations in the different States and thic Oil Millers Associations and others, who have helped him in various ways in his official work.

Our first meeting was held at Simla on the 23rd September, 1921, and it was decided that the most practical method of clieitin; the information necessary for our deliberations would be the preparation of a questionnaire and its issue to important public bodies and individuals ti ho took an interest in the matter The general lines of the questionnaire were settled at that meeting and the details adjusted lg correspondence. Terms of questionnaire. 3. The questionnaire was as follors Forms of Capital 1. What are the different forms in which external capital enters India, Encouragement. 2. In which of these cases is the entry either unobjectionable or necessary in the interests of India generally and of Indian industries n particular 3 Is it necessary to encourage the entry of any particular iriety? # If so, that steps should be taken in this direction and to what 'ent is capital likely to be forthcoming as the result of such steps ?

The questionnaire was issued on the 18th November 1924 and replies Juave been received from the chambers, associations, and individuals mentioner in the Appendix. It did not seem necessary to Cake advantage of the ofi'er of several of the parties who replicd to the questionnaire to supplement thcir replies by oral evidence, as the inaterial provided was arlequate to enable us to arrive al conclusions which will fulfil the torins of reference. We would talic this opportunity of thanking those who replied to our questions ; the more important suggestions will be mentioned and discussed in the report. 5. As the Committee was composed of menibers of the legislature, it was only practicable to hold meetings during the sessions. Sufficient replies had not loron received in time to cnable us to liold a mecting during the cold weather session of 1925. Our mectings yrere therefore postponed until the August and September Session in 1925. In the meantime the Ilonourable Mr, J. W. A. Bell, Mr. W. S. J. Willson and Dir. V. J. Patel lad resigned. The Council of State and the Legislative Assembly clected the following members in their plaçcs- The Council of Stalc-The IIonourablc Sir William Curriz, Kt. The Legislative Assembly-cssrs. C. B.

·PART II. Recommendations. 6 We have not attempted to estimate the amount of external capital in India Any such calculation must Amount of exteru tl capital is India.. be largely guess-Trork, though a certain amount of statistical material is avauable. Government returns show the anpant of the outstandmg loans of the central and protinetal Cosernments and of municipahties, and the authorities of the various ports have given us details of their borrowings It would no doubt be safe to assume that the sterling portion ot these and the Loncion-enlaced runre debt of the Government of India are held almost entirely by external intestors, but at would be quite impossible to determine the proportion of the ripes loane not held by Indians The return of Joint Stock Companies in British India also gues figures showing the total capital of companier incorporated elsewhere than in India but working in India, but an examination of the various companies figuring in the list shows that in many cases, especially those of banks, insurance and navigation companies, it would be unfair to reckon more than a small percentage of the working capital as actually employed 10 India " There is also the undoubtecl fact that Indians hold a large and increasing share both an external companies and in companies with rupee capital under non-Indian manageincnt. It is nell known that a majority of the shares in Indian jute mill csapames, which are almost entirely under such management, are held by Indians Besides, we do not think that any practical purpose would be served by an attempt to estimate the amount of external capital operating r India. Such calculations would only be of importance of it was decided to introdace a definite programme of replacement, as sug. gested in some of the replies For this purpose the nominal value would be useless, the actual market valtic would have to be ascertained and this fuctuates daily. In any case, we consider apy definite programme of replacement completely zpracticable, 7 If a general survey of the position were considered desirable with the object of ascertaining the real estent of tle problent before ris, it would also only be fair to take into consideration companies hicis had failed, as India retains not only the value of the assets leit in the country, but the negative advantage that certain Xperimnents have been proved to be fulures, For instance, it 19 plvions that it an external company spends money without Siccess in sping oil wells or in prospecting for minerals, indigenous capital has been sfied froin the risk of fruitless expenditure This aspect of the question has teen vividly put by Professor B Mukerjee -"British capital das helped India in several other ways not easily realised becally they lo not lie in the surface. We all welcome the increasing share of Indians in our industries. We are proud of those indirns ho prosper in these lines We are happy when they succeed. But it toast be admitted that part of the reason why they succeed a mell lies in the fact that the field for them had been cleared long ago by British caputalssts.

Sir PC Vitter suggests banks tright be enabled to apply to local Goseraients tu 'counts audited at least at monthly ly approvedl auditors, cash should be examined periodically by & Government that they should be super see! by statutory provincul with a whole-time tall under theni. We do not presunc definite recommendation on a complicatert technical ques. ich se realne tliat there is much to be said on both sides, h tlic last were bould lic with the expert We are not unthe general objection to such proposals that the best batis for sound and permanent ad arce lies in competition, publicity, and ·6 . are the encouragement of private cnterprise, and that thicy might Icad to the creation of banks and companies with directors who were not fitted for the responsibilities of their position and whose incompetence would be presumed to be safeguarded by detailed Government control. 12. W convinced that the truc solution will bo found in the provision of a comprehensive Banking cducation. scheme of banking cducation, which will furnish an adequate supply of Indian bankers, trained on sound and modern lines. This would be another fuseful field of enquiry, on which the opinions of an expert committee might be of utility. It is obviously the most important question of all. One of the first points for consideration is how practical and theoreticnl training may be combined, and it is most desirable that an all-India Institute of Bankers should be created to supervise courses of instruction. The possibility of the selection of the abler students for practical instruction abroad could also be considered. In this way the developinent of banks on sound lines would be encouraged. Parenthetically, we would also suggest that the formation of an all- India Institute of Chartered Accountants would appear to provide a incans of meeting the suggestion of Dr. Slater referred to in the preceding paragraph. We do not wish to go into further detail on the subject of banking education beyond emphasizing its importance, but we feel that its investigation would lead to useful results. 13. In addition to the creation of banks for the receipt of deposits, and the Investment facilities. encouragement small deposits by Post Office cash certificates and the saving bank schemes of the Post Office and the Imperial Bank, increased facilities for investment are also required. As fresh capital must, if progress is to be healthy, be attracted first into investments in which safety is the primary consideration, dealings in government securities should be encouraged, as they possess this quality in the highest degree. If Public Debt Office facilities could be extended to the more important commercial centres outside the Presidency towns, so that all transactions in government securities could be effected locally, local markets would be crcated for these securities and local stock broking would be cncouraged. Stock cxchanges would then form naturally and lead to dealings in industrial debentures and ordinary shares. The wider advertisement of state loans in vernacular is a suggestion which might also be examined. We do not know to what extent an advance on these lines is immediately practicable, but we consider that the creation of more money markets throughout India constituted on modern lines would be a factor of such importance in India's financial development that we would recommend the question to the careful consideration of Government. of no 14. The increase of credit facilities on thoroughly sound lines is a inatter of less importance. Neces- Credit facilities. sary safeguards against the dangers in-. herent in artificial facilities should of course be provided, but there is scope for material improvement in the machinery for the provision of crcdit. At present miscellaneous credit facilities are afforded to agriculture, either direct by Government or under Government control, ·7 by means of takavi adranets and through the provincial co-operative banks, and many schemes have been suggested for the extension of long-term credit to industries either by direct Government assistance or through land and industrial banks These all appear to us to require co-ordinated cxamination, especially those relating to agricul. tural credit, so that they may be woken into the fabric of a general banking system 15. It is also worth examining thether the produce of industry Negotiable Instru and agriculture could be financed by nego. Inents. tiable instruments to a greater extent than at present Nr. B F Madon in his reply has alluded to the desirability of developing trade acceptances and facilities for discounting them "The public should be trained to create such real trade bills, the local bankers should be made to see the advantages of discounting such bills and the Imperial Bank should be ready to re-discount them". It seems to us that there could very usefully be แน quiry into the various forins of negotiable instruments circulat. ing in India, with a view to the development of those which were found to be the most suitable. The matter is complicated by the multiplicity of scripts in India. In this connection we would add that the problem of enabling Indians who are only acquainted with vernacular scripts to avail themselves of banking facilities is a general one which appears to us to be of importance and to require early examination. Various devices, some of doubtful practicability, have been suggested to us but there can be no doubt tbat; whatever the reason may be, negotiable instruments do not take their proper part in the financing of Indian trade, and a general enquiry by legal and banking experts might throw useful light on the subject, and suggest possible remedics. 16. This is a very cursory survey of the suggestions tre have re- Comprehensive survey ceived in reply to our question regarding the suggested development of banking organisation and credit facilities in India We are not in a position to examine the suggestions in detail or to offer an opinion on them, but we conzider that they should cxamined as early as practicable The method of the examination we would leave to Government, the points at issue being too numerous and too technical for us to make any more definite recommendations. We are of opinion, however, that the first step required is the collection of accurate and up-to-date information of the progress so far made and a comprehensive survey of the whole field, which we suggest should be mdertaken by Government without delay. Such a general survey would at any rate serve to focus public attention on these most important subjects, and would enable Government to determine the questions a detailed examination of which by experts would be most likely to lead to fruitful results. We are satisfied that the preliminary survey must be followed up by a detailed enquiry, but the field is sy large that we leave it open whether this detailed enquiry should be entrusted to one or more committees ·1.8 CONTROL ON IXTIČRNAL CAPITAL: Objections to external 17. The objections to external capital havo 'capital. been stated to be ::: (11) A certain proportion of the profits will go out of the country (0) Investors will always prefer to choose their own directo rate, and will naturally preler men they know and have a prejudice in favour of their own nationality. The tendency will be the same in respect of the superior stafi'. (c) The vested intcrests created by external capital have à tendency to acquire enormous political influence which, is usually excrciscd for the purpose of maintaining thic status quo and of vigorously resisting any political progress. (d) External capital may monopolise key' industries or industries important from the point of view of national defence, and (c) External capital may exploit the natural and irreplacca able resources of the country such as minerals. 3. These are the more important objections which have been made is and in discussing the question of imposing restrictions on exal capital, we would distinguish between the different f'crms in which it enters Inclia, according to the extent to which it carries with it control over Indian industrial organisation and Indian natural resources. This was the critcrion suggested by Dr. Gilbert Slater in his reply and following generally his classification we may divide external capital from this point of view into three categories : (1) Investments in which the external investor is merely entitled to a rate of interest and acquires rights of control only wlien there is default. To this class belong state and municipal loans, bonds of port authorities, bonds and debentures of private companies and bank loans. (2) Investments in which the external investor enttrs into competitive business in India, competing on equal terms witli Indian enterprise, as in the case of cotton and other textile mills, mercantile houses and the like. (3) Investments in which the external capitalist acquires special privileges or concessions of land which give him exclusive possession or exclusive rights of exploitation of particular portions of the natural resources of India. ! As regards the first class, we agree with Dr. Slater " that "WVlierc the external it has been largely necessary in the past and ilivestor is entitled to a is on the whole unobjectionable in the stipulated rate of interest present”. IIc continues “ As no foreigu only. control enters into the question, the main matters for consideration are : (1) can a new asset be created by means of an external loan which will yield a net annual return, directly or indirectly, to the people of India escocding thc stipulateit rate of interest ? and ·3 (2) can the money be borrowed abroad on the whole to greater advantage ihan jy India II both these questions are anstrered in the affirmative, obuiously the use of external capital is advantageous." The first class, 80 far from being disadvantageous is generally useful and profitable to India and no control is necessary. In the case of Government and quasi-Government loans, however, the rate of interest should not be the sole consideration betwech an external and an internal loan, and the erchange position must always be allored due reight. If the money can be raised in India without unduly prejuicing the efforts that may be made at the time for sccuring Indian capital for other useful enterprises in India, and if the difference between the rates of interest is not escessire, resort should be had to rupee loans in India rather than to external loans. It is important that habits of saving and investment should be fostered, and government scrip and well-secured bonds, being good security for bark overdrafts ellpply industry with a means of obtaining capital in short external capital may be advantageously used to supplement internal capital, but should not be allowed to prejudicc its legitimate opportunities This has been generally admitted in the replies, but this category does not cover the most important forms of external investment in India and those on which attention has bech most strongly focussed. 20. It would be quite impossible to confine the inflow of external Where the caternal it. capital to the first category and normally reator enters into orův investments will be on a speculative and airy competitiro banaest profit sharing basis in which the shareholders in 11 22 insist un exercising control, liat is to say, will come within the second and third classes. The consideration of these two classes in complicated by the fact that apart from specifically protective duties or bounties, India's general tarill, though framed for purposes of revenue and not protection, has Excen raised to a level where it does afford a varying degree of protection to every industry of any importance. It has been suggested that the surplus profit granted to the external capitalist by govern. mental action at the cost of tbe country should be taken from him in taxation or at least expended in some manner directly profitable to India. This question was discussed at length by the Fiscal Com. raicion in chapter XV of their report. They argued that as protection incritably increased the burden to the consumer, it was desirable that this burlen should be terminated as soon as possible, and that ng protection by itsell could not increase the capital in the country, the additions must come from outside. They Therefore considered it desirable to widen the field of investment to the utmost and to attract capital from outside, so that indastry might be developed 88 Tarills 99 possible and the burden to the consumer terminated On the other hand they allowed that " where Government grants anything in the nature of a monopols or 'n concession, where public money 18 given to & company in the form of any kind of subitly or bounty, or klere a liceuce is granted to act as a public utility company, it is reasonable that concrnment would make certain stipulation!", and "Jay special stress on the Indian charjeter of the companicy thus formel There is some inconsistency in this which attracted the attention of the members nuo wrote the talaute ng ·010 of dissent : "' te arc table to apprecinte thic: distinction liathri between companies getting Government concessions and companice establishing theinselves behind the tarifi wall crected under a policia of protection. We can understand such a distinction under a policy of free trade". Bounties and protective tariffs are two incans. of attaining the same on, the fostering of industries in India, and if (xternal capital should be controlled in the one case, it would appear to be equally desirable to control it in the other, 21. Ciovernment having accopied the proposition in paragraph 292 of the Report, quoted in the preceding paragraph, we have to consider what stipulations can be imposed which will not hure injurious repercussions on the industry or the country as a whole., The probleni must be approached on practical liness, and after carelui consideration of the various devices suggesteck for iinposing such control, we have come to the conclusion thut, except when definite concessions are granied to individual concerns, restrictive ineasures would be either impracticable or disproportionately injurious to the Indian investor. Wiere a bounty or definite concession is being granted to a particular company, it is certainly practicable to improse any restrictions lesired in return for the concession, but where a gencral tarifl is imposed, and any concern operating in the country will lerive bencfit froin it withont the necessity of approaching Government for any special concession at all, no practical inethod has been suggested to us whicrciiy ciscrimination could be cffccted. Numcronis suggestions have been inade 10 us. The most general is, that new companies should be registered in India with rurce capital, and that a proportion of the shares sufficient to estab.ish Inulini control sliould be definitely reservel to Indian investors. A less extreme suggestion is that this proportion should be reservol to Indian subscribers in all new flotatious for a definite period of time. If after that neriod Indians hindi 110f subscribed their share, the company would be enabled to acquire the remaining capital where it could. Other supuestions are tliat a definite number of the directorate should be Indian, that facilities should be afforded for the training of Indian apprentices and that penal taxation should be imposed on companies which did not coniply with these conditions. 22. The general difficulties in the way of these suggestions are obvious. In the first place they could only be applied to new companies, and it might in many cases be difficult to prevent a big manufacturing concern with a small tradling agency in the country taking advantage of such an agency to claim the privileges of an existing company. They would also require a very claborate system of trade licensing and the most inquisitorial government control, Besides, as pointed out by the Fiscal Commission, a most unfair and undesirable distinction would be created between private and joint stock concerns and it is to the interest of the country to develop the latter. Many new enterprises are started privately and if they are successful it is desirable to encourage them to develop into limitect liability companies, as this will give the best opportunity to the Indian investor to purchase shares in the open market and to acquire such control as he desires. It would be quite impossible to ascertain Ilie amount of cxternal capital in private concerns, so that they would ·I'll le able atmost completely to evarle alis restrietim, impozil. The existence of such restrictions would thus ouls tend to prevent (leir des elopment wito joint stock companies. . 23. It rould alt lie as well to make it clear that the object of such control, as stated by the Fiscal Commission, is to lay stress on the Inslian character of the favoured companies and not to secure an artificially lugh rate of interest to the Indian capitalist. Though the latter could possibly be secured in a protected industry by the elimination of outside capital, we bold strongly that as a general principle the proposition that preferential terms should be sccured by statute to the Judian miestor is short sighted and involves an economic fallacy. The mterests of the Indian miestor will best be seried by giving him the wadest freedom of choice as to the character of his investments and the most open market in which to sell them when be so desires It should be emphasized that the real criterion of the value of a stock is not only its dividend but alss its marketability. I capitalist will require a much higher rate of in. terests he does not for confident that he can realise his principal when he wishes, and any measure which limits the number or ile renources of potential purchasrs will maluce the value of his hold ing. Restrictions on the transfer of shares from Indians to non- Indians might possibly incrrase the prelil on the sbares of companies in protected industries by limiting the amount of capital in the industry, and thus lessening competition, but this irould be largely counterbalanced by their lower sale value. As the entire additional cost would fall on the Indian consumer, the Inxs to the country wou I Le entirely out of proportion to the gain to the capitalist. Besides, there is the practical difficulty that such restrictions would be almost impossible to enforce We do not trish to diell on this at any length as we feel continced that after consideration of the various factors Involved" no onc," in the words of the Fizral Commission, would advocate a policy of protection merely to chrich capitalıs's". 21 In addition to these general considerations, there are grate practical objections against each of the various suggestione Restrictions on the transferability of shares could le cielel logo the large capitalist and would only penalise the small investor, Doth Indian and non-Indian, by increasing the dificulty of finding urchasers, for which brokers you'd naturally alo charge an moliy need commissiin. They would also involyc an intolerabile amount of government control and interference with industry, Very limited parallels have been quoted from other countries In Japan, the hinres in certain banks bs (Giovernment can apparently onl of Covernment, bot it is obviously like this to corrr every industrial y all a very country like Indin.

We do not understand what valuable purpose would be served by keeping subscription lists open to Indians fr.0-1.1 period (six' nionths has been suggested), if Indian .... subsequently to be allowed to sell the shares allotted to them in thic open market without restriction. Indian organisations which chose to underwrite the issues might obtain an enhanced commission, for which the industry would have to pay, and the delay caused to a company before it could get to work would be most injurious. The uffrets on the ultimate control of the company would be negligible, ivħile it would be difficult to calculate the dislocation to the commercial machinery of thc country that would be created by a general provision ni tlic Indian Companies Act that share lists might in certain circunstances have to remain open 'for six months before a company could proceed to allotment. A more feasible suggestion Imus been made, which would at any rate avoid the intolerable delays of the previous proposals, that in tlic event of a list being oversubscribed, Indians might receive on allotment the total amount of their applications up to 50 per cent., of the total issue. This would avoid dclay, but is inadvisable on general grounds. . It would be very difficult for the directors of the company or the Government Ollicee, who had to scrutinise the lists to ascertain in the case of applications of firms or companies whether they came within the classification of Indian or not. It would also be a simple matter for non-Indian investors to arrange for their applications to go il rough an Indian. Such mcasures might deter the small external inostor but it would be a very simple matter for the larger capitalist to Let'round them by employing an Indian agency, the net result being tliat India would have to pay more for its capital by the amount of the commission to be paid to the agent. Our colleague Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya, who lias recorded his dissent to this conclusion in a separate note, holds that, even though the ultimate effect might be sınall, it should be a condition in all cases in which shares are offered bġ public companies in India that the subscriptionists should be kept open for a minimum period of 30 days, and that preference should be given to Indian subscribers up to 50 per cent. of the amount of shares offered. He recognises that thie further step of preventing transfers thereafter from Indians tanon-Indians cannot be recommended but he holds that even without this further condition there would be some residuum of additional Indian holdings as the result of the imposition of the special condition regarding original subscribers. 26. Penal taxation, also, would be almost impossible to assess. It would be incorrect to assume that the whole of the customs duties or the protective tariffs or bounties constituted the net surplus of the home manufacturer as against the outsider, as production in India in certain industries is admittedly more expensive than it is in the competing countries. In a theoretically perfect protective system the net surplus would be nil, the tariff, being framed to meet the extracost of production. In any case, such taxation would be un-economia as the cost of assessment and collection would almost certainly exceed: the revenue produced. 1 :

There is aly 'finite tendency for external capital to become increasingly shy of sceking outlets in India. Discriminatory taxation would have a far wider influence in restricting the flow of future capital into India than ity miere pécuniary cffeets. There would be the fear of future developments on the same lines, and as the largest amount of external capital which comes into India at present is probably the re-lovestment of past profits and the replacement of the depreciation of previously invested capital, the former -- for a higher immediate ret to the industrial developine scare away the extemal capital invested in it or prevent the local investment of its proflts. 27.

We would divide this class into two :- (1) where the foreign capitalist acquires a definite pecuniary, coneession such as a bounty, and (2) where he acquires a concession which will enable-him to exploit a wasting asset, such as a mineral concession.is 28. In the case of bounties or similar definite pecuniary assista: "ance, we consider that restrictions might be imposed of the natuie described in Section 5 of the Steel Industry Protection Act of 1924, namely, (1) in all cases facilities for the technical training of ap) prentices, and (2) in the case of incorporated companies (2 that the companies should be registered under the Indian Companies Act of 1913 with rupec 'capital, and (it) that a reasonable proportion of the directorate should Va 117,,,beIndian, , .-29. The requirement that'a proportion of the directorate shonia; be Indian is an exception to bur general conclusion that share-holders sfiould be given unfettered poner to choose their own directorate. It's .

·might secin morc logical 10 insist on a certain proportion of Indian share-lolders, but as we have shown we do not consider it desirable or practicable to impose any cozduons to seriiru'this. It might also be held that the interests of the nation would be sufficiently secured is the companies were registered in India under the Indian Companies Act with rupee capital, as this will nean that the shares will be oficred for subscription in the first instance in India and that the great majority of the transactions will be effected in Indian stock exchanges. We do not however think that the thicoretical objections to the proposal are sufficient to justify our recommending a reversal of the declared policy of the Governinent of India and the Legislature, and insistence on a certain proportion of the directorats bring Indian is a rough and ready practical method of ensuring that Indian interests will not be over-looked. But we would not go beyond the conditions suggested by both the riscal Commission and the miuntc of dissent to it tliat the number of directors and thic facilities for training should be reasonable. They would have to vary from case to case, depending on the nature of the work and the extent of the concession grinted by Government. It would be unreasonablo to impose any lefinite proportion and thic vetails will have to be left to the discretion of Government in cach casc. 30. As regards mining and similar concessions wc are of opinion that no definite principle can be prescribed. It must be decided in cach case wlicther it is better from the point of view of the national interest that a concesion should be developed by external capital or left to lic fallow, supposing that to be the only available alterniltive. In the latter case the loss of interest and wealth to the eountry through the locking up of potential resources must be considered. It Imust also be remembered that prima facic the best market for the produce will be local. Such enterprises are by no means invariably successful. They are generally highly speculative and there are as many losses as succe:ses. It is to the interest of the country that its natural resources should be prospected and iſ external capital is willing to undertake this task, while indigenous capital is unwilling, it must be allowed to set the prospect of profits against the risk of loss. We consider that this is a matter which must be dealt with by the expert departments concerned, cither of the provincial or the central Governments, the general criterion being that concessions should only be granted to external concerns where it is clearly in the national interest that they should be developed and where internal capital is not fortlicoming on rcaso able terms, and then only subject to such safeguards as may be suitable for cach case.

·15 PART II. Bummary of Becommendations. The conclasions which we have reached may be summarized in the following propositions, I. It is more advantageous to India that its requirements for new capital should be supplied from internal rather than from external sources, 80 far as internal capital is forthcoming. The real solution of the problem of external capital lies in the development of India's own capital resources, II. Subject to the bmitations given below the infow of external capital 19 not only unobjectionable in itself but is a valuable factor in assisting the economic development of India. III. Though in certain circumstances the control of external capital may be necessary in the interests of India, general measures discriminating against it or penalising it either by way. of taxation or by way of control would, so far from assisting the development of these Tesources or fostering the intereste of the Indian investor, be definitely injurious to both, as they would impede the growth of new industries and restrict the transferability and consequently the market value of the holdings of the Indian investor. IV. India possesses a vast store of dormant capital awaiting development, and in order to make this available for investment banking facilities must be mcreased and extended. The examination of the various technical measures suggested in the replies with this object is outside the scope of the Committee, but we would emphasize the importance of a co-ordinated survey being undertaken at the earliest opportunity of the whole field of banking in India. This should be followed by a detailed examination by an expert committee or committees of the lines along which progress should be effected. V. As regards the control of external capital, where the external capitalist is merely entitled to a stipulated rate of interest, and only acquires rights of control when there is default, as the case of state and municipal loans. bonds and donante. VI. Where investment carries with it the control of an undertaking, we consider it reasonable that when Government grants particular concessions to the industry of which that undertaking forms part it should exercise such control over the undertaking af will ensgre that the benefits of the concession accrue primarily to the country, (a) Where the eoncession is general, as in the case of a protective tariff (and this would include practically every industry in ladis, as a revenue tariff without 4 corresponding excise has a protective effect) it is ·16 impracticable to effect to eficct any discrimination. No feasible suggestions for such discrimination have been suggested to us, nor harc any occurred' to us during our discussions, (6) Where definite pecuniary assistance, such as a bounty, is granted to any particular undertaking, we consider that discrimination is fcasible, and we agree with the Fiscal Commission and the Legislature that no such assistance should loc granted to any company, firm or person not already engaged in that industry in India unless I. reasonable incilities are granted for the training of Indians, and II. in the case of a public company unless (i) it has been formed and registered under the Indian Companies Act 1913, (ii) it has a share capital the annount of which is expressed in the memorandum of association in rupees, (ii) such proportion of the directors as Government may prescribe consists of Indians, (c) Where a concession is granted to exploit a wasting assct, such as a mineral concession, no definite rules can be prescribed. It must be a question in cach case whether it is better from the point of view of the national interest that a concession should be developed by external capital or left until indigenous capital may be prepared to develop it. Such concessions should only be granted to external capitalists when it is clearly in the national interest that they should be developed. VII. We do not consider it necessary to examine in detail the mcasures to be taken to give effect to these recommendations as we do not suppose that any general legislation will be necessary. If Government accept them, the necessary legislative and executive steps can be taken to give effect to them on cach occasion when a bounty or similar concession is granted. BASIL P. BLACKETT. C. B.

Loth September, 1925. * Subject to separate note ·1 + V NOTE OF DISSENT SY PANDIT MADAX MOHAN MALAVIYA. In the course of the discussions da the Steel Iddustry Proteclion Bill the Donourable Sir Charles Innes said The House wi}} remember that yesterday, in the course of the debate Government were pressed to incorporate in the Dill provisions on the imes of paragraph 193 of the Fiscal Comraission's Report and on the logourable Dr. Chatter- I explained yesterilay port matter of this kind u vu vul we tare considered the matter again. We recognise that this is a matter on which the Douse feels strongly, and we have decktet to do our best 10 meet the wishcă of the House. In order to meet the Llouse half-way, I an prepared t» agree to the amendment of whoses the Ifonourable Pandit lotilil Nehru kas given batice, as I hope the Ilouse will observe that this amendment honours strictly the obbgation laid upon Govern. nient by the statement of Mr. Chatterjee." That amendasent which now forms section 5 of the Stecl Industry Protection Act was a follows " Notwithstanding anything contained in section 3 of sections 4, no haunty in respect of steel rails, fisk-plates or wagone sball be payable to or on behalf of any company, fire or other wrson not already engagerl at the enmus D049 0 compa Gover ty ut sadtaus 30 the hiddulucturing processes involved in the business and, the case of a company, unless () at has been forraed and registered under the Indian Companies Act, 1913; and (6) it has a share capital the amount of which is expressed in the memorandum of assseiation in rupees; and (c) such proportion of the direetors as the Governor General, in Couses bas by general or special order prescribed in' this bekalt consists of Indians." Both the Government and the Legislature definitely adopted the policy embodied in the amendment when they agreed to it But there 4 one important point left outstanding for consideration. So the longurable Sir Vuaries Inges went on to say I am atrare tbat there are sections in the Ilouse which would like to sacorporato is the Bill specific provisions regarding the proportion of foreigiz capital. I am prepared to take up separately the examination of questions of that kind and in that examination I am prepared to associate with the Government a Committee of the Legislature an. pointed ad hoc for the purpose" It is in fulfilment of this promise that the present Committee was appointed. The main question th“). fere stick thus Committee had to consilps in Akould be dilontate. be LUSION at ·18 .fo ** except when definite concessions are granted to individual cuircerns, restrictive measures would be either impracticable or disproportionately injurious to the Indian investor.” They go on to say :-“Where a bounty or definite concession is being granted to & particular company it is certainly practicable to impose any restrin.. tions desired in return for the concession, but where a general tariii is imposed and any concern operating in the country will derive benefit from it without the necessity of approaching Government for any special concession at all, no practicable method has been suygested to us whereby discrimination could be effected. Numerous suggestions have been made to us. The most general is that new companies should be registered in India with rupee capital, and that a proportion of the shares sufficient to establish Indian control should be definitely reserved to Indian investors. A less extreme suggestion is that this proportion should be reserved to Indian subscribers in new flotations for a definite period of time. If after that period Indians have not subscribed their share the company would be enabled to acquire the remaining capital where it could.” My colleagues give three reasons for not accepting either of these suggestions. In para. 22 of their report they say :-" In the first place, they could only be applied to new companies, and it might in many cases be difficult to prevent a big manufacturing concern with a small trading agency in the country, taking advantage of such an agency to claim the privileges of an existing company." I regret I do not agree. This difficulty is not likely to arise in many cases. It might arise in some and it can be provided against. The present capital of every existing public company is known. The conditions that may be laid down to secure a fair proportion of the shares to Indians can be made to apply to the additional capital which the company may wish to raise. My colleagues go on to say :-" Besides, as pointed out by the Fiscal Commission, a most unfair and undesirable distinction would be created between private and joint-stock concerns and it is to the interest of the country to develop the latter." I do not believe that if restrictions like those suggested are imposed, any considerable number of concerns are likely to be started as private concerns. There is little likelihood of individual firms providing the whole capital needed. I am not satisfied that in the great majority of casex there will be any real difficulty in carrying out the suggestions mentioned above, and I am clearly of opinion that they can and should be given effect to. So long as the policy of free trade was followed by the Government of this country, matters stood on a very different footing froni that on which they do now. As a policy of protection of industries by tariffs and bounties lias now been adopted, the Government is bound in fairness to the general consumer to see that the industries ir ghll benefit by such tariffs are either wholly or at least largely Indian, both in the matter of capital and control. The very foundafion of protectionism, as has been said by eminent economists, is the idea of nationality. In the words of Professor Bastable to understand the position taken up by the modern opponents of free trade, it is, above all, essential to recognise that the keynote of their system is nationality..... The claims of the nation as a whole are accentuated and regarded as far niore important than those of the V ·individual or the world at large. Ilot perfectly this attitut harmonises with the actual policy of the European, and indeed o all protectionist states, is apparent. A particular industry is suffering under the pressure of foreign competition, ie, a national interest is affected The State then steps in by imposing additional duties on the foreiga product, the loss to individual consumers and to the world as a whole being disregarded as unimportant." Again protection is justified because it increases the national capacity to produce. " Complete commercial freedom may give the greatest amount of value at a gwen time, but a wise restrictie policy will increase the production of realth in the future, present loss will in this way be more than recompensed by subsequent gain. The use of protection is substantialis a national apprenticeship and should be judged in that light." When we Indians asked for protection he did so in order to promote Indian roterprises tath Indian capital and under Indian control The Government of India understood us correctly and agreed with us Speaking in 1916 on the resolution which led to the appointment of the Industrial Conimission, Sir William Clarke, the then Member of Commerce, said: “The building up of industries where the capital, control and management should be in the hands of Indians is the special object we all have an view" Ke deprecated thuc taking of any steps which might " merely mean that the manufacturer ho non competes with you from a distance would transfer his activities to India and compete with you within your own boundaries." In concluding my note aprended to the report of the Industrial Commission I said. "I cannot conclude this note better than by endorsing the following generous and wise words of Sir Frederick Nicholson . 'I beg to record my strong opinion that in the matter of Indian Industries we are bound to consider Indian interests firstly, secondly and thirdly I mean by ' firstly that the local raw products should be utilised, by 'secondly' that industries should be introduced , and by thirdly, that the profits of such industry should remain in the country for the introduction of productive duties in order to benefit foreigners, We did not ask nor did the majority of the Indian Members of the Fiscal Commission recommend that such duties should be introduced for the benefit of foreigners The following paragraph from the minute of discent of the minority of the Commission is important : “ There is one aspect of the question to thich attention must be drawn. If onr colleagues' recommendation is accepted it will be open to every foreigner to establish manufacturing industries in India by means of companies encorpcrated in their own countries and in their own currency This Langer did not exist under a policy of free trade, but it is bound n materialise when the benefit of protective duties becomes avail- Ole We may have under sach circumstances companies incorpofed elsewhere, say in America in dollars, in France in francs, in in liras, in Germany in marks, in Japan in yeas and in na in dollars, etc. 11 wil be also possible for these comparies to in their whole capital in their own countries and thus carry axay anfire profit of manufacturing industrios established behind the kall The consumer will have paid a higher price, due to prosedulus, on the entire manufacturing profit will have gone the country We cannot obviously understand how under ·14 " Pe leth condition..

In this connection I particularly invite attention to the valuable opinion of Sir Dinshaw Wacha contained in paragraph 6 of his letter which I quote below: " Measures escrtial to attract indigenous capital for developand of kin organisation and crcdit facilities in India may be clovined in the following a way's :--- (c) By instituijon of as many hanking institutions as may be cleanel Boessary from time to time on a sure and some formation. For such a purpose it will be imperative to introduce special legislation regarding borrowing and lending of a character which while suffimiently elastic shall fully safeguard the interests of ·21 depositors and shareholders alike, thus inspiring the highest confidence among them. (b) Beyond such local banking concerns, as just suggested, at is exceedingly desirable that there should be in the important capitals of the different provinces, which have extensive trade and industries, banks with a capital at least of 5 crores of the type and nature of the German Deutsche Bank which, it is superfluous to state, has immensely converted Germany from an agricultural into an industrial country. Banks of this character alone, in the long run, when established on sound foundations, managed by recognised experts in cfferent branches of industry, will be able to give similar results to India as those afforded to Germany. Simultaneously, it is also essential that India should possess agri. cultural banks, with their kindred auxiliaries or feeders in each province of the Empire, say, with a capital ranging from 2 to 5 crores at the outset. Such banks should be modelled broadly on the lines of the Agricultural Bank of Egypt, go beneficially fostered by the late Earl Cromer Of course, the local condtions of each province all have to be taken into conbideration Co-operative Central Banks may serve the useful purpose of fertilisers to each Agr.cultural Bank" Dr Gilbert Slater also has in his valuable note recommended among other things, tlie“ der elopment of Indian joint-stock banking by the adoption of methods similar to those employed in Germany by the 'D. Banks ', -the Deutsche, Dresducr and Disconto Gesselschaft" The development of banking organisation and credit facilities is the most crying need of India. In the third edition of his valuable book on Indian Finauce and Banking, which was published in 1920, Jr. O. Findlay Shirras correctly described the system of banlııng esisting in India A glance at the chart published in the frontispiece of his book would show how deplorably low the banking position in India vas in comparison with that in Canada, Australia, Japun, the T'nited Kingdom and the United States To notice the differences in the case of one alone, while the huntin in India une wuss amounted in India to £118 million, Il pian to £101 millicn. The number of banks in India was 359, in Japan 5,874. I am unable to say what differences the last five Frans have made. But the position of India has not much improved and is still lamentably love, and this is not the first time that the attention of the Government is being drawn to the need of having the question of the proper development of banking institutions in India duly investigated. But unfortunately the action that Tas nended has not yet been taken I hope our recommendations on this subject will meet with a better fate. To strengthen that hope I will draw attention to some of the reconniendations which were ·9.22 previously made. Before doing so, I wish to add that notwithstanding the creation of the Imperial Bank of India with its enhanced capacity and usefulness, the question of a State Bank for India still deserves to be considered. As Mr. Shirras has pointed out in his book; in 1870 a member of the Viceroy's Executive Council (Mr. Ellis) wrote in connection 'with the proposal for an amalgamation of the Presidency Banks :-" The change which I advocate as the best is the establishment of one State bank for India with branches at the Presidency towns. I do not by this contemplate the creation of an expanded Bank of Bengal. I believe the Bank of France would provide a model which, with suitable modifications, nigiit be adopted in India." In an article on "A State Bank for India," The Times wrote in March 1913 : " There can be no question that a State bank would have a most salutary effect in securing the confidence of the people with money to invest. India suffers from a vast amount of infructuous capital which a State bank would be likely to draw forth in the shape of shares or deposits. Hitherto, the investment of money by deposit in banks has been on a much smaller scale than it ought to be... Another great advantage would be a far better utilisation of the capital of the concern than is possible in the case of the three Presidency banks with their existing limitations. The central institution would have branches in every part of India, and would be able to let the capital flow in the directions where it was most needed. The facilities it would have for financing trade would go far to eliminate the sharp seasonal divergences between discount rates in India. Given a State Bank with large capital and plenty of resources, the Government could again keep its headquarters balances in bank custody without any apprehension of monetary disturbances in consequence of withdrawals, and on the other hand, it would be able to depend on the bank to advance money if the needs of the State momentarily required the assistance." The Chamberlain Commission said in their Report in 1914 that they regarded “the question, whatever decision may ultimately be arrived at upon it, as one of great importance to India, which deserves the careful and early consideration of the Secret Secretary of State and of the Government of India. We think, therefore, that they would do well to hold an enquiry into it without delay, and to appoint for this purpose a small expert body, representative both of official and non-official experience, with directions to study the whole question in India in consultation with the persons and bodies primarily interested, such as the Presidency Banks, and either to pronounce definitely against the desirability of the establishment of a State or Central bank in India at the present time, or to submit to the authorities a concrete scheme for the establishment of such a bank fully worked out in all its details and capable of immediate application." In 1918 the Indian Industrial Commission recommended เสี the appointment at the earliest possible date of an expert Committee to consider that additional banking facilities are necessary for the ·23 initial and for the current inance of industries; what forni of Government assistance or control will be required to ensure their extension on sound lines as widely as possible throughout the country ; and whether they would be of provincial or of imperial score, or whether both these forms might not be combined in a group of institutions working together," In March 1919, a resolution was brought forward by the Hon'ble r Sarma in the Legislative Council urging the appointinent of a committee to recommend the measures required for organising and developing the banking system of the country. The then Finance Member (Sir James Bleston) said the Government was prepared to accept the recommendation of the Industrial Commission and to act upon it. As regards & State Bank, he said he must leave the question " for the present," on the ground that the hands of Government trere full with questions relating to the reforms. But no action has been taken in respect of either the one or the other. It is a matter for real regret that notwithstanding the weighty recommendations referred to above, this question has not yet received from Government the attention bich it so obviously deserves Nothing more sıtally affects the welfare of the people of Iw& than the question of the healthy growth and expansion of national commerce and industries, and nothing is more urgently needed to make that growth possible and to sustain it than a sound system of national banking and finance, which should take note of and provide for the financial needs of the people in all important branches of their commercial and industrial existence. I earnestly hope that as this committee has the advantage of being presided over by the Finance Member, and of baying the Member of Commerce also on it, its recommendations on the subject of banking will receive the early attention of Government, and that a committee, so com. posed that it might command the confidence of the public, will be koon constituted to deal with this most important question. 15th September 1925 BIADAN JOILAN MALAVIYA.

·24. NOTE BY Mr. T. C. GOSWAMI, ML.A. Generally speaking, I agree wih the propositions as stated in the Report. I was elected to the Committee on the resignation of the Ilonourable Dir. l'atel, after the questionnaire had been framed and answers to it had been received by the Committee I found that the terus of referente as interpreted—which I was bound to acceptpractically excluded any form of first-hand inquiry as to the catent that foreign capital has a hold on India, as to how far such a liold has benefited India and as to how far it has been injurious. We were, therefore, reduced to a more or less theoretical formulation of propositions relating to the uses and control of external capital in lodis, 2. We have, however, inade some important proposals and indicated lines on which thorough inquiry is desirable We all agreed--and some of us urged very strongly--that an inquiry into the existing banking system should be undertaken with a view to urriving at definite conclusions as to how Indian credit can be further developed and facilities for investment improved. I desire to emphasise this suggestion It is said in the Report, that “ Considerable progress has been cffected by the creation of the Imperial Bank and the opening of new branches (paragraph 9). While I do not controvert the statement as such, I should like to express the common belief-for which I know there is good foundation in actual facts--that racial and political discrimination is made in the matter of credit, and that indian, usually do not receive in matters of credit the treatment that their assets entitle them to, while, on the other hand, British business. men have frequently been allowed larger credit than what on ordinary business principles they ought to have got This is a matter for .nquiry. Whether this state of things can be altogether remedied in the present political position of India is, however, & difficult question to answer. 3. With regard to leases already granted by Government, whether o mines or of forests, it is necessary for the public to know the cletails of each transaction Leases have been granted at ridiculously low rents, which cannot be explained away by the plausible theory of development and of the risks of enterprise. There are cases in Assam, for instance, which require examination I go further ; not only would such an inquiry indicate steps that may be taken in the future to safeguard India's interests, it would, perhaps, reveal cases where the sanctity of eristing contract is flagrantly ritiated at tnitro by unconcionable fevouritism. 4. Dy estecmed colleague, Pandit sladan Mohan Malavign, has aprended a Note to the Report suggesting that it should be a condition in all cases in which shares are offered by public Companies of India, that the subscription lists should be open for a minimum period and that preference should be given to Indian subscribers up to 30 per cent, of the amount of shares offered The argument that this nould he an illusory protection, since shares can subsequently change hands and benami transactions are to a large extent unavoidable, las great ·25 forec; and Panditji recognises this. I agree with Panditji that the efl'ect of his proposition cannot be totally neutralised by these devices. But I do not know if what Panditji suggests is the best mode of securing the object which some (nt any rate) of the Members of the Committee have at heart. I confcss, however, that so far I am unable to suggest an alternative. T. C. GOSWAMI. The 1'1th September 1925. The foregoing note was received from Ir. Goswami after the report of the Committee had been signed by all the other members and was ready for publication, and only avaited his signature which bad len promiscd by telegram as he had left. Simla before the final proof was ready. At the last meeling of the Committee the Report was agreed to unanimously by all the members subject to sopie verbal corrections and to the additional note appcudcd by our colleague Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya. No mention was then made by Mr. Goswami of his desire to append any note. Mr. Goswami attended all the meetings of the Committee except the first at which the questionnaire was discussed. At no time during those meetings did he raise any question as to the interpretation of the terin of reference, or make any mention whatsoever of his present allegations regarding racial and political discrimination in the granting of credit and favouritism in the granting of leases. This explanation, which seems necessary in fairness to the Committee as a whole, is added by me after consulting with those members who are still in Simla (viz., Sir Charles Immes, Sir Sivaswami Iyer, Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviva, Dr. Dwarkanath Jitter, Mr. Natesan and Mr. Chartres).

Sir Bryce Burl particularly drew attention to the coronut surrcy which he desired to see complete without further delay, and it was agreed that local survey reports in respect of this commodity would be furnished to the Central Staff by the end of June 1938. With this change the time table (sce pages 15– 16) of the publication of all-India surrey reports, as put up by the Agricultural Marketing Adviser, was agreed to Jr. Livingstone stated that he had ·3 received suggestions from time to time to take up surveys in regarito (1) pulses, nilang tal- RAA tumwa possible to development work in repect of the commodities alrerdy surveyed there was no supe for taking up any new commodity for general suney.

·8 Tho provincial and State Marketing oflicers also stated the position in respect of ticir arcas. A general discussion followed in which Mr. Barns also participated. As a result the following points emerged and wore agreed to - (i) Nows service was of 2 special kindls, viz., (a) one for the markets and (6) for the rural areas, i.c., for the producers themselves. (ii) While the acfulness of the radio was generally acknowledged, it was ſelt that pancity of funds would stand in the way of llie sets being widely adopled, specially for the second type of servico. (iii) People in different places were interested in prico quotations of different commodities, and broadcasting from the several All-India Rirdio stations should be arranged to suit their interest. (iv) Thic diversity of weights and measures was a limiting factor in the adoption of an uniform marketing news service, and quotations on stan basis alone, for instanco, su tolas to i scer and 10 secrs to a naund, were possible. (v) Wherever radio sets are not available the marketing staff would continue to exert its influence in disseminating market news through the usual agencies, c.g., bulletins, demonstrators, post cards, ctc. (vi) Provincial Officers would be well advised to get into touch with the local officers (Station Directors) of the All-India Radio and devise scheines in consulta tion with tlicin, The conference resumed its sitting at 10-30 A.M. on the 14th April, 1938, with Mr. Livingslonc in the chair. Mr. Livingstone proposed that item 4 of the Agenda " Arrangements for Railway Statistics" may be taken up along with the Sub-Committee report (see pages 12-14) regarding fruit packing and transport. The Sub-Committee report was takon up first. Mr. Jararaya outlined the details of the discussion that took place in the Sub-Committco. Mr. Livingstone asked whcther it would not be advisablo to try and assemble, in the form of a report, all the information regarding containers that bad already been obtained from the provinces and States, particularly so whon different provinces dealing with different commodities might require different types of containers. He said that it might then be decided whether the experiments were to be conducted on squaro bamboo containers or any other type of containers for which a certain amount of information already existed. Mr. Karlar Singh pointed out that sufficient information was available in the various provincial reports submitted to the Centre. The House accepted Mr. Livingstone's suggestion that a summarised report in the shape of a descriptive booklet may be made very quickly from the provincial reports regarding containers, returnable, non-returnable, their sizes, capacity, etc. Marketing Officers after reading that booklet would put up suggestions as to what particular types of containers they need and also give any suggestions for improvement: Necessary experiments might then be made in different localities.

·9 The Conference then discussed the recommendations of the sub.ccmmittec for a general reduction in the freight charges and for transport facilities for all perishable goods in wooden vans with proper ventilation and adjustable shelves, Jr, Liringstone pointed out that that was a matter which the Provincial Marketing Staff could take up derect with the different railway administra. tions. He understood that the railways were quito prepared to reduce the freight charges whenever thoy could bo assured that a reduction in freight would increase traffic. After a general discussion it was agreed that in any case railways sliould be asked to provide improved service for the cxisting rates, in the way of collection and delivery of perishabla products by railways themselves and by providing wooden or insulated vans for their trans. port. It was further agree that the Provincial Marketing Officers would ſurnisl to the Agricultural Marketing Adviser facts and figures showing how improved scrvice would help the trade and thereafter the Igricultural Marketing Adviser would circulate a draft letter for observation by the Provincial Marketing Officers. After receipt of comments, if any, the letter would be sent by the Agricultural Larketing Adviser to the authoritie concerned. Mr. Jararaya then opened the discussion on the last point, nimely, that the marketing officers of provinccs should be represented on Road Bourde, Railway Advisory Committees and Economic Enquiry Committees --- IE II Item No. 4 of the Agenda. - cotmintic data would 100 in the case of N. W.R. the railway were not was decided that they only The Provincial om mertul departments ld help tho other Item No. 5 of the Agenda Jr. Litingstone desired to know how far the activities of the marketing staff amul co-operative department were co-ordinated There was a general feeling among Provincul arheting Officers that the co-operative department was not pulling together with the inarketing stali. In the courso of discussion it was found that in many provinong tho marketing staff found difficulties in co-onlinating its activity with the il pre was a Marketing barn fore and that, jon ketaren the Co. lo hat A Jarketing ·10 Board bo established in provinces where ono does not exist at present and that the Registrar of Co-operative Societies and the Director of Agriculture (or Marketing Officer) should be on the Board. Mr. alohiuddin desired thint the Central staff should draft model byc. laws for ordinnry trade associntions and for "futurcs" associations and have lliem circulated to the provincial and State staff so thint they could modify thein and adopt for usc. Ir. Livingslonc suggested that the bye-laws of the East India Cotton Association or the draft notes of tho sugar terminnl markets could be adapt. ed and these bye-laws would be practically common to almost any kind of association. He also referred to the Federation's bye-laws which had been drafted and circulate to all tracic associations and said that when these byc. laws were approved by the trado associations, they would be useful to almost any kind of association whether dcaling in rearly or features transactions. The draft would be found in tho Proceedings of the recent Grain Conforonce. Wr. Livingstone's suggestion that the next Marketing Officers' Conference might be held sometime in September or October next year (1939) was acccpt. ed.

As a result, the Myscre Gov, ernment are considering a draft bill for establishing regulated markets for agricultural produce in the State. It is also understood that the merchants at Davangere and Chital. drug have already takon up the quostion of starting regulated markets in their respective areas on a voluntary basis even before the proposed bill becomes law. The Bengal Government also propose to start to regulated markets for jute during the current finan. cial year and a sum of Rs. 25,000 has, it is understood, been earmarked for this purpose. Similar proposals have been put up and/or are being considered in almost all the provinces but it is for the Conference to consider what further steps could be taken to ensure a rapid progress.

Malik, Senior Marketing Officer, Bengal. (1) Grading Station8.–At the present moment two grading stations are working in Bengal, both in respect of hides, i.e., at Tangara and Garden Reach. Unfortunately the system of salo of hides prevalent at both these places that is before slaughter, gives no index to any advantage that may be achieved out of grading work. Again, it is next to impossible to alter the practice and introduce the sale after slaughter. Proposals have, howover, beon put forward for tho starting of 3 egg.grading stations in the producing areas at a cost of Rs. 6,000. This amount has been included in the next year's budget and if sanctioned, these stations will be started in, or as soon as possible after, April next. Two parties are keen in putting up grading stations for gliee and in one case at least arrangements are almost complete for the sale of " Agmark ghee. But the local Goya ernment will not provide any funds for it. (2) Market news service.-At present there is no arrangement for this. It is proposed that when Regulated markets for jute are started, a Market News Service will simula taneously be put into operation by which Calcutta prices will be telegraphed to the markets in question and hung up on a notice board. Besides, prices will be broadcasted from Calcutta and received at the above markets through a special Receiving Set. All interested may listen in and those prices would also be notified by loud-speakers. .

·24 F. Miscellancons. It has been experionced that in formulating any scheme for the improvement of marketing the co-operation of the Co-operativo Department is neces. sary and since the Marketing and Co-operative Departments are not under the control of the same officer co-ordination of the activities of both departments is difficult. In laying out the policy for the future development work it ould be necessary to clearly defino the portion of work to be assigned to the Marketing Department separately from the cooperative societies. For effecting propaganda in the rural areas it seems desirable that the assistance of the rural development staff may be sought and free distribution of abridged survey reports in vernacular and other literature may be done through the school masters in villages. Note by Dr. M. B. Ghatge, Provincial Marketing Officer, B. P. Poona. 1. Establishment of grading stations. During the year 1937-38 only ono glading station was established for Mosambi (oranges) at Rahuri in Ahmednagar district. Duo to lack of funds grading stations for santra, grapes, eggs and mangoes could not be taken up. A year's working of a grading station at a place is not sufficient encouragement to the local producers or dealers. Therefore it should, in future, be the policy to run grading stations for at least three seasons. Once the producers and merchants of that locality begin demanding authorisation, competition would start, which would then help us in spreading the work of grading without shifting the grading work to another centro in the same locality. Proposais sent to the local government to start grading centres are summarised belo :-- No. of grading stations. Commodity. Place, 2 Grapes Mangoes Mosambis Santras Eggs 2 Nasik District. Ratnagiri and Surat Districts. Almednagar and Poona Districts. Khandesh and Poona Districts. Sholapur, Bombay and Poona Districts. Ditto. 3 Hides and skins 2 The probable espondituro for the scheme is put down at Rs. 11,000 & year. Tho scheme does not includo grading stations for " Bij" (Bold groundnut secd) which aroso after the scheme was submitted. There seems to be good scope and grading is in fact being already dono by inerchants on the basis of so many grains por tola weight. At least one station other in Kolhapur or round about should be startod and it will cost about Rs. 500. It is not yet known whether tho proposals are accepted by the local government. In caso tlog nro not accepted this year owing to financial stringency it is hoped the Central Government might sanction at least a sum of Rs. 3,000 + Rs. 600 (for “ Bij” grading) to conduct one station for each of the abovementioned commoditics. II. Jarkct nous.--A proposal has been sent to the local government to sanction transfer of one of the Assistant Dlarketing Officer to Bombay, whoso duties shall be tho inarket nows. No sooner than this appointment is sanctioned tho work of doveloping Inarket news and its dissemination would bo taken up in hand. The amount asked for for this purpose is Rs. 3,000. The staff and funds being limited the work would not bo commenced. Tho necessary plan as regards the number of places and tho nunber of commodities is already made. One of the difficulties that confronted mo while preparing the plan was tho quality of the commodity. The market notre service would not be of any great uso unloss tho qualities were fixed. This mcans grading of commodities and fixation of standards must proccdo developinent of market noms. It is therefore proposod that standards for core. modities should be fixed as carly as possible.

It has, nowever, been decided by Government to postpone further action on the Rice Trade Enquiry Committee report for the present, except in so far as the standardization of the paddy basket is concerned. Any scheme for the grading of rice would have to in. clude such considerations as colour, moisture content, brokens, reds and impurities, and would presumably have to be on a variety basis. Before adopting colour values a considerable amount of work would appear to be necessary as it is well known that colour varies not only from year to year, but within the year. Tho setting up of an experimental grading centre vould undoubtedly take time and would require considerable funds for its working. The recommendations likely to be incorporated in the Report on the Marketing of Rice in India will no doubt give full consideration to this aspect of development Tork. Commercial grade standards, adopted by the trade have been built up as a result of years of experience of trade requirements and appear to be fairly satisfactory. Something may be possible in the way of improving and tightening up these standards, but it is doubtful if much improvement can be effected without preliminary work on the lines suggested above. II. Market News Service in Burma. General. A number of market reports are published in Burma in English or Verna - cular. Some are daily reports while others are weekly ones. The Labour Commissioner also issues a statement of wholesale and retail prices for different commodities at Rangoon as a supplement of the weekly Burma Gazette. From January 1938 a ner monthly publication called the Burma Trade Journal has been issued. While these reports and statements contain much useful information regarding market prices, crop statistics, data regarding imports and exports, etc., it must be confessed that the dissemination of such knowledge is limited and few, if any, of these publications find their way into the villages. Several reasons exist for this though the main ones are poverty, absence of cultivator's and Societies and comparatively poor postal arrangements. For improvement no proposals have been put by the Markets Section to the Local Government. Among other things it is proposed to have a State Cinema and a State service. Once the advantages of a State Radio service have been accepted and steps are taken to establish and develop it, there seems to be little doubt but that current prices and other market news of such commodities as rice, cotton, groundnuts, beans, sesamum, millets, sugar, onions, tobacco, etc., will be regularly quoted. III. Regulated Markets in Burma. One of the recommendations of the Indian Central Banking Enquiry Committee that regulated markets should be established. To ascertain the usefulness of these the Burma Government is proposing to consider legislation based on the Madras Market Act of 1933, etc. The question of regulated markets for rico was discussed by the Burma Rico Export Trade Enquiry Committee in 1936 and the following views were recorded :- “We recognise the force of the argument put forward, (for the establishment of re. gulated markets) but feel that in view of the door to door competition for the rice crop and the heavy incidence of indebtedness which leaves 60 little of the crop available for disposal at will, the prospects of getting cultivators to make use of regulated markets are not great. We have decided therefore to make no recommendation on this point beyond suggesting that the scheme is worthy of further consideration, and possibly experiment on a small scale" Though the prospects for regulated paddy markets cannot be considered to be parti. cularly bright some scope would appear to exist for regulated markets in groundnut and possibly cotton. Experimental regulated markets will, therefore, most probably be set up at Magird and other groundnut centres when necessary legislativo casures have been passed. Cattle markets already exist at all important centres and are generally under the control of local bodies.

In June 1930, tho Raliny Bourd agreed that the railways inight supply, frco of churge, to tho Marketing Staſſs any available data compileul for the ruilways. The Rail. ray Board has also decided that the Marketing Stalls should pay for statistics fhich may havo to be specially compiled. After a prolonged correspondence they agreed, last year, to nuthorisotho Stato Railiays to incur expenditure, up to a certain financial Limit (generally Rs. 2,000) in each case, on the compilation of such statistics. This ras sauc. tioned as an experiinental measure for one year at the expiry of which the Agents con. cerned would submit to the Railway Board, a report showing the benefits that have accrued or are expected to accruo from these statistics and from the activities of the Market. ing Department. Similarly the Agents of Company-owned railways also agreed to supply tho requisite particulars up to a cortain financial limit.
