BRITISH PRESS PAYS
TRIBUTE TO REPORT
Liberal Papers Urge Quick
.Transition for India as
Others Dissent.
Br the Associated Press.
LONDON, June 11—London morning
newspapers yesterday devoted pages to
most complete summaries of the report
of the Simon commission on Indian
statutory reform. All pay tribute to the
great achievement of the commission
ers and emphasize the importance and
high value of their unanimity.
There is some divergence in comments 1
regarding conclusions to be drawn from
the report itself. The Mail borrowed the
phrase coined by the minister for the
Dominions, Lord Passfled, and said that
the report emphasized "the inevitability
of gradualness. ” The Mail found noth
ing in the report affording the faintest
countenance to the policy of holding out
hopes to Indian extremists of early es
tablishment of a dominion status.
The Telegraph also saw in the report
the totally impracticable character of
demands for solving the problem on
lines of self-government at short notice.
The Laborite Daily Herald drew quite
• different deduction, and insisted that
the transition to a responsible govern
ment would have to be carried out as
quickly as it might be.
The Liberal News and Chronicle eaw
to the commission’s tribute to the man
ner In which Indians have worked the
constitution set up in 1929 an answer
to the pretense that Indians are inca
pable or self-government.
SIMON IS PLEASED.
Believes Division of Report Is Justified
by Reception.
FRITWELL. Oxfordshire, England.
June 11 (JP). —Sir John Simon, during
an Interview at his home yesterday, ex
pressed pleasure at the prominence
which the newspapers have given to the
commission's report on India. He said:
"I think the novel plan of producing
the report in two volumes, with an
interval between, ha* been abundantly
Justified because it is evident the public
does Intend to consider the conditions
of the Indian problem, so as to be able
to form conclusions as to the recom
mendations. which are to be put
forward a fortnight hence.
"I want to emphasize that the unity
•f the report really represents this, that
it is the work of my colleagues as well
as myself, because we all have done
our full share in producing it.”

DOYLE SENTENCED
FOR COURT CONTEMPT
Refuses to Elucidate on Fee Split
in Bankmptcy
Case.
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. June 11.—Dr. William
F. Doyle, whose eight years’ practice
before the Board of Standards and Ap
peals are estimated to have brought
$2,000,000 in fees, yesterday was under a
30-day sentence for contempt of court
for refusing to tell with whom he split
the fees during 1922, 1923 and 1924.
His refusal was based on the claim
‘ that by answering the questions he
might tend to incriminate himself in
connection with possible prosecution for
defrauding the Government of income
tax.
Investigation of Dr. Boyle’s activities
was begun after Mrs. Lottie Cutler had
testified in a bankruptcy hearing that
it had cost her SIO,OOO to get a filling
station permit from the Board of Stand
ards and Appeals. She said Dr. Doyle
represented her and was paid $5,000 of
the amount.
All road making machinery being
used on the new Ciudad Jaurez-Chihau
