Mr. Pir Tajuddin, Bar-at-Law, Secretary of the Punjab Muslim League, has forwarded a lengthy note expressing the League’s opinion on the Public Services Commission report. “The Executive Committee of the League believes”, says the note, “that the doctrine of racial superiority openly proclaimed by the Commissioners will deepen the sense of subjection and retard the growth of the sentiment of common citizenship desired by the Commissioners and that the lot of the Indians in some of premier services of their motherland will be worse than before”. The note concludes by reiterating the demand for simultaneous examinations for Civil Service, for Police Department in India and England, recruitment of the heads of Government from those trained in public life in England and prominent Indians, recruitment of three-fourths of the Indian Education Service in India, the founding of the Technical and Scientific scholarships, recruitment of judiciary from the Bar, separation of judicial and executive functions and the recruitment of half of the Provincial Executive Service by competition.
