The British government appears to
be responsible for the famine in India,
OF at least to have made the famine
possible, through the very beneficence
of its rule. Before the British occu-
patton, ~incessant wars and terrible cpl
denies kept the country thinly popu-
lated, so that the natural products OF
the soil were usually sufficient to feed
the inhabitants. But British rule has
established peace and diminished the
ravages OF plague. The consequence
has been such ar increase of popula-
ton that India is one OF the most
crowded countries in the world. The
productivity of the soil has nearly
reached Its limit. Nevertheless, the
British government is not to be
blamed, unless we adopt the mons
trous doctrine that wholesale massacre
Is q blessing.
