Customs Union for Indian Sub-Continent

South Pacific and western America.
But then the British experience may perhaps have been different and the authors' indication that few untouchables migrated to the United Kingdom (p 27) suggests that in one important respect the later period of the United Kingdom movement did mean important differences. In New Zealand the Chamars are the second-largest group of Punjabi migrants after the Jats and the situation has probably been the same in Australia and Fiji. Feelings of antagonism are still very much alive, in New Zealand and Fiji at least, and it such feelings are absent in the United Kingdom their absence provides one more justification for treating the Sikhs as the primary unit.

Checking Inflation-A Note

Checking Inflation A Note Rajendra Kumar C N VAKIL and PR Brahroanand have, in a Memorandum* to the Central Government, suggested a number of policy steps with a view to freeing the Indian economy from inflation, thereby ensuring the best use of the available resources in an atmosphere of continued price stability.

In the region, 7,05 per cent of the working population is engaged in trades, commerce, services, transport, etc, while this figure for the entire state is 15 per cent. These figures clearly mdi- catc that trade, commerce and industry do not offer much employment in the region.

Self-Help by Developing Countries


1923 when a declaration was mad that African, not European, rights in the country were paramount. The African leaders today do not like to give this particular declaration much importance but it has to be realised that it not only reversed the previous declaration of European paramountcy but also ensured that Imperial control of the Colony would continue. This frustrated settler efforts to be granted self- government. This was a major achievement for the future because a potential Rhodesia was avoided.

IMF and International Liquidity

IMF and International Liquidity THE primary component of international liquidity that a country possesses is its international reserves which are made up of gold holdings and foreign exchange assets in US dollars and pound sterling. The subsidiary resources of international liquidity are provided by IMF.

Table 1 outlines the enlargement over the years in the quantum of international liquidity of all types.
