BRITISH RULE IN INDIA.


Such individual appears to be in our city now in the person
Maynard who states that he has been missionary of
Plymouth Brethren in India since 1887, and who attempts
to justify British rule in India.
As to Mr. Maylards connection with the Plymouth Broth
rem ourselves stumped since before Mr.
Maynors burst into print heard of sect of that name
however, the of the brethren in India hold the same
opinion about the Indians that Maynard does according to his
published statements sympahes with the natives
"aepors of British msrue in India lalsehoods, says
Mr. Maynard who circulates them Then he
that since SS7 the population has from
600 until there 1926, 100000 people in India
the vast irrigation projects that have been
srccd under British rule and how they have covered des
crs into paes, but Mr. Maynard forgot to state that those
l2,O miles of British canals in India were constructed by
Indian British masters at wages of cents and 40
cents per day He forgot to state that the profits derived from
those deserts that have been made to blossomthe DESERTS
you please that by all the laws of God and man belong to the
indian natives thensevesgo INTO the pockets OIL the BRUSH
masters of the Indians
Maynard also displays the fact that apparently his long serv-
ices missionay have been or less ritless since
he states in his interviews The people very lterate and
unambous One in 100 and only 10 per cent of the
read They do not want to learn and so are not
lifted for home rule Later in his published interview mr..
Maynard is quoted saying THE elementary education IS IN
the missionaries, of whom there are 5000 OF
Protestant denominations in the country
Is possible that the education attempted to be handed
TO natives by the missionaries of whom Mr. Maynard
Speaks is of The bgotcd variety where before they are taught
their Cs they forced to sign seal and deliver their i'm
the minds of the great ma orty of the ndus, or the
other religious sects of India their god or gods may mean just
much to them does whatever Mr. Maynard ana MS
brethren worship?
aside from the religious end Of the question of education
we wonder if Maynard will hold to the statement in the
Indian Word,' Calcutta publication:
If after and half centuries of British rule, India
remains where she was in the middle ages, what sad

the Leader of Asac cviza9n and the un1isputfa
Years Japan has reyoIuonzed her history w vi the

We would like to inquire of Mr. Maynard is it not another
sad commentary Briains cvizns influences IN lndli
when is learned that there schools in only one out OF Ve
Villages despite the cnorniy of taxation burdens imposed OF
the peope-the Indians? And would call Mr. Maynards at
cntion to the fact records in India show tha
tor the fiscal year 1904 9O5 while the appropriation
the government for educational purposes for the $50
persons he says reside there, $65ooooo tn
appropriations army service for that period Wer
something than S9oooo,ooo And we would also III"
call the learned mssionary attention to the fact thai IN
estimates for The succeeding show that While the bSe
for educational purposes increased by about S5ooooo
the budget for military purposes increased by S2ooo
600 more than the 900 of the year previous.
Truly it has been said that the Bible follows the cannon
Where Maynard, possibly because Of religious FRENZY
RI gels Off the track regards British rule in nca IS tha'
the fact that ran rule there is now and has al
ways exploitation for the benefit of English cal
aists and not for the benefit of the natives or as our orme
d secretary of state W. Bryan observed after visit to lna
