Sir Michael O’Dwyer on Dualism.



WE have already commented on the arguments by Sir Michael O’Dwyer against dyarchy in the course of his evidence before the Joint Committee. He seemed to think that he was making an unanswerable case against dualism when he told the Committee that there were emergencies when decisions had to be made in a few minutes on questions of life and death and in such cases if the Governor had to share his responsibility with someone else, the inevitable tendency would be to delay, and that delay might mean disaster. We showed the hollowness of the specious argument by pointing out that it proved too much, that it was an argument against the Council Government itself—to which, however, Sir Michael had no objection. The Times of India draws attention to a letter that Rai Debendra Chandra Ghose Bahadur, a member of the Bengal Legislative Council, recently addressed to the Statesman pointing out the dilatory proceedings of the Bengal Government in rendering relief to the distressed in the recent cyclone in East Bengal.
