BRITISH EXPANSION IN ASIA

The conquest and acquisition by England Of
territories beyond India proper is far more dan
gerous to US than the absorption Of those lands
by Russia would be. In the first place, we
should have 10 fight the invader far away from
our natural base which is in itself a great
drawback, as has been demonstrated by history,
both modern and ancient Second. the popu-
lation of the conquered countries would be at
heart hostile 70 US for. though their govern
tional governments, and they would make COM
mon cause with the invader, however foolish
and shortsighted such course might appear,

national institutions. These annexations would
even furnish q further cause Of moral disturb

supply the dangerous elements of Indian society
with material 10 work upon To my mind the
right policy Is to insist that the territories
shutting the neutral should remain in

in name. The policy that advocate is precisely
the same that pursued by the United States
toward the South American republics. If we
consistently follow this policy, If the Conserva-
tive party will dssociate itself from the extreme

istan into native state and Southern Persia
into Malay state; If the Liberal party will
sever its policy from the ultra altruists who in

place, have to subjugate portions Of the neutral
