THE REORGANIZATION OF THE BRITISH IMPERIAL ECONOMY AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE POLICY OF THE INDIAN RAILWAY INVESTMENT

本项目的目的是确定英印两国政府对印度铁路的认识和政策，包括工业利益和经济利益的定型和周期性特征，以揭示对印度铁路的投资是如何参与大英帝国的动荡和解体的。1996年收集整理印度铁路资料。我发现，在日本不仅没有关于它们的文章，而且也没有研究它们与大英帝国在国外解体的关系。在1997年，我研究了以下三点。首先是分析印度铁路公司证券在伦敦货币市场的情况和走势，了解英国投资者的动向。第二是通过分析调查印度铁路的特别委员会（阿克沃斯委员会）的报告、证据记录和声明，了解英国和印度政府、铁路公司、工业利益集团、金融利益集团的动向。第三部分分析了印度铁路主要建设者和管理者的安置过程，以及铁路财务从一般财务中分离的过程。其结果是，位于英国的印度铁路公司无法完成投资机构的作用，英国和印度政府都通过接受印度铁路公司的拨款来获得财政平衡，国家管理的铁路被印度人民视为印度民族主义的象征。

The object of this project is to make sure of the stereotyped and periodical characteristics of both British and Indian government's recognition and policy toward the Indian Railways, including their industrial and financial interests in order to bring light on the way how the investment for the Indian Railways took part in the disturbance and disorganization of the British Empire.In 1996, I collected and adjusted the materials of the Indian Railways. I could find that there was not only no articles of them in Japan, but also they were not studied in relation to the disorga nization of the British Empire in abroad.In 1997, I studied the following three points. the first of all was to analyze the situation and trends of the securities of the Indian Railways in the London Money Market in order to know the movings of the British investors. The second was to know the movings of the Governments, the railway companys, the industrial interests, the finance interests in both Great British and India by analyzing the report and minutes of evidence and statements of the select committee to inquire the Indian Railways (Acworth Committee). The third was to analyze the process of the settlement about both the main constructors and managers of the Indian railways and the division of the railway finance from the general finance.The results were that the Indian Railways Companys which situated in Great Britain coud not accomplish the role of the investment institutions, that both British and Indian Governments acquired the balance of finance by receiving the grants from the Indian Railways, and that state-managed rail ways was recognized as the symbol of the Indian Nationalism by the Indain poeple.
