Western imita of the Colony should not carry on a desultory and ineffective he completed at a reasonable lieur in warfare, which strangles their trade, ia order to save the pockets of the French taxpayers. Out of consideration for the commercial interests of neutral Powers, it is the duty of France to adopt
tilities. There seems to be very much more ambition in the French colonizing sebemes than the ability, or the will, to Curry them into execution, and pay "the cost. The Frenets operations in Madagascar us well as those in tlie Far Bast are evidence of this. Colonizing is expensive nowadays and often re- quires great sacrifices, and if France.is ambitious of feanding colonial empires she should first of all count the cost.
