No tangible result has emerged as.' yet from the All-Parties
Conference. Lord Irwin, we are glad to see, has appointed a special Reforms Commissioner who will have his own Department and a status approaching that of a Member of Council. The Commissioner's duty will be to co-ordinate all questions of fact and policy—the raw material which the Round Table Conference, it is hoped, will make into a finished product. In the Manchester Guardian, Dr. Rabindranath Tagore, who has come to deliver the Hibbert Lectures at Oxford, has made a statement which is in part very disturbinz and in part encouraging. He says that. Europe has completely lost her former moral prestige in Asia, but that the present " complications " in India can be remedied by " some real greatness of heart which will attract in its turn a genuine spirit of co-operation on our side."
