The Situation in India.
From the Atlantic.


The present situation in India illustrates
some OF the unfortunate results of the po-
itical dependence Of a civilized people.
Not only politically. but also In economic
matters. India is kept In state Of de-
pendence upon the metropolis. But the
most hopeless feature Of the situation Is
that the men who would naturally be
leaders In government and enterprise see
themselves excluded from opportunities
for exercising legitimate power in their
own country: Such decapitation OF an
entire people is q great sacrifice to Inn
pose. even In return for the blessings OF
peace and an efficient policing Of the
country. The continuance Of this policy
would mean either the total destruction
and degradation Of Indian national life.
or the end Of the British raj. The policy
of exclusiveness exercises an unfavorable
influence on the civil service itself. in
that, while q lower type Of intelligence
a merely clerical faculty-is encouraged
among the native officials. yet these in
ferior men. being Of the soil and knowing
local conditions, will necessarily have
great influence In fixing the character OF
the entire service and the quality OF its
work.

We have extirpated gross huInor from

suppose that we are therefore more moral
than the Elizabethans. whose literature
was full of gross humor. It may be that
we are only more afraid Of ourselves and
each other. This kind OF fear is destruc
tive not only of gross humor but of hu-
NOR of all kinds. In its essence humor
is brave as 1t is honest; but with cow
ardice and dishonesty there come base
substitutes for 1t, substitutes that make
fun OF noble things with a humorous air
and no bring humor Itself into dascredit
