PREACH HOSTILE DOCTRINE Liberality of Government Has Per mitted Free Publication and Dis cussion of Heresies That Fonu Opinions Against Nation. SIMLA. India. Dec 5. (Special.) A crisis seems to be Impending in India. The key to the true causes of the pres ent situation will be found In Eng land's steady and unvarying general policy towards India. The form and final aim of the British administration of this country has long been settled In accordance with the Intentions of Kngland, and has remained astonish ingly unchanged during the last 50 years. Has Secured Fropejty. The envy of the foreigner, the malice of the renegade of her own house lias been equally silent before the manner of England's performance of her great stewardship. England has made life and property secure; has administered equal Justice; has spread the benefits of education far and wide; has allowed freedom of speech and freedom of the press; has respected relision and re ligious prejudice with care; has up held a standard of scrupulous purity and honesty In public affairs; lias thrown open to the utmost possible ex tent the service of India to the Indians; has run the road and bridged the river, and above ail. perhaps, has made men of millions of down-trodden serfs. Eng land has caused the native of India to re-pect himself. From that standard no official has derogated without detection and dismissal; to that standard It would be hard for a congress of philosophers , to ad The individual has counted for less in India during the past half cen tury than anywhere else In the world. And now the great and splendid engine runs of itself, and to the last day of British occupation of India will continue to carry out the functions with which the English have entrusted it. Liberality the Cause. How comes It, many will say, that with an administration framed upon such excellent lines, there is the opportunity for even malevolent criticism to obtain such publicity In the peninsula? The very liberality with which England has permitted the free publication and discus sion of political heresies has encouraged a thousand to preach disobedience where, under a sterner code, even one might have hesitated to betray his secret aspirations. The truest commentary upon the British policy In India was written 100 years ago by the Abbe Dubois. His final esti mate of the necessary relations between the English and the Indian is: "Under the supremacy of tne Brahmins the people of India hated their government, while they cherished and respected their rulers; under the supre-naey of Europeans they hate and despise their rulers from the bottom of their hearts, while they cherish and respect their government. I venture to predict thiit the British will attempt in vain to effect any very considerate changes in the social condition of the peo ple of India. To make a people happy it is essential that they themselves should desire to be made happy, and should co operate -with those who are working for their happiness. Now the people of India, It appears, neither possess this desire nor are anxious to co-operate to this end. Every reform which is obviously divided for their wellbelng they obstinately push aside, if It is likely In the least degree to disturb their manner of living, their most absurd prejudice or their most puerile custom." This is as true today as It was a hundred years ago, and the English need not look far for the causes of unrest that exists today. Xeed of Strong Men. If there were In India today men like the Abbe It is possible that mi nor causes of friction might sometimes be avoided. But It is to be remembered that the main reason why the present and recent, generations have lost that close touch with the native which characterized many Englishmen In the days of the East India Company is that those old Irregular liaisons, which were the source of much of that Inti mate knowledge, have totally disap peared today. But. however frequently knowledge, gained directly or indirect ly by such means, might have saved Individuals from blunders, It would be a mistake to suppose that the deep, underlying movement of the people of India would have been really influ enced. England Is dealing with far wider Issues, and with far deeper traits of human nature, and her first task Is to estimate the volume and direction of the moving tide; the day for the Interference of Mrs. Partington In In dian politics is over. So much seems to be understood, both by Lord Morley and by the government of India. The Anglo-Indian official Is often a sound judfc,-e of his own district only. A civilian permanently employed In Rajputana would nave views about the present unrest which would barely be regarded as those of a rational being by a police official In Poona. In the mass of evidence and In a certain de tachedness of standpoint lies safety at the present moment, but It must not i be forgotten that the Brahmins of In dia have ambitions which no foreigner can fathom. rnr- Boom Panslavlsm by Bal.
