Montagu, Edwin Samuel

▪ British politician
born Feb. 6, 1879, London, Eng.
died Nov. 15, 1924, London

      British politician who helped introduce the Government of India Act (Government of India Acts) of 1919, a legislative measure that marked a decisive stage in India's constitutional development.

      Montagu entered Parliament as a Liberal in 1906 and became secretary to Herbert Henry Asquith, prime minister of Great Britain from 1908 to 1916 and leader of the Liberal Party. As parliamentary undersecretary to the India Office from 1910 to 1914, Montagu had the task of explaining Indian matters to the House of Commons. During the first years of World War I, he held a number of minor posts, entering the cabinet in 1915 as chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster. As financial secretary to the Treasury, he helped to popularize the first war loans and to set up voluntary war-savings organizations. He became secretary of state for India in 1917 and began work on a declaration of British policy to provide for “progressive realization of responsible government” in India.

      As head of a delegation to the Indian provinces in the winter of 1917–18, he collaborated with the Indian viceroy, Lord Chelmsford, in preparing the Montagu-Chelmsford Report on the Indian government and administration. Its main recommendations were embodied in the Government of India Act of 1919, by which, for the first time, control over some aspects of provincial government passed to Indian ministers responsible to an Indian electorate. Differences of opinion over Prime Minister Lloyd George's policy toward Turkey forced him to resign in 1922.
