India a Paying Proposition.

Does Great Britain get much out OF
India. Sir Edward?" ] asked. The most
of the money you collect in taxes is spent
here is il not?''
Yves. the most of the taxes go back to
the country and are used for its improve
ment and development Nevertheless, the
indirect advantages which accrue from our
connection with India are enormous. Our
trade with India amounts to hundreds of
millions OF pounds every year and Is pro-
fitable Another thing we have through
this connection is the support of large
standing army. We have over 10000 troops,
of whom more than two-thirds are natives.
All this is supported by the taxes and
it gives the mother country a fighting
force which is always kept in good train
ing and which can be shipped anywhere
upon the shortest notice. At the time OF
the Eoer war our East Indian soldiers were
among the first on the field"

OF India, your eXcellepcy. Suppose you
were not controlled by Great Britain, but
that you had the same armies and the
same administrative machinery that you
have today, what would you do to bet
ter the condition of these people?"
II would give' them a protective tariff.
l would encourage the establishment of
factories and favor them in every way
as to the making of goods for India in
competition with those of Europe. Japan
and other parts of the world. What In
dia needs is industrial development, and a
protective tariff would bring that about.
AS 1t is we are tied up by the manu-
featuring industries of Great Britain.
We can levy no duties to speak of upon
our imports of cottons. rTe once had a
tariff of per cent, but the Manchester
mill men objected, saying that it ruined
their trade. They demanded that an ex-
else duty be added to equali2e our COM
petition, and the result was that the
duty was reduced by 3Ia per cent that
amount being levied on all goods made
in India. DO you wonder that the natives
object? A protective tariff would foster
our industries and we could in time build
up a mighty industrial empire"
