of all political parties in Great Britain realises that we must preserve the union of the Empire. Liberal-minded statesmen believe that object can best bo accom- plished by encouraging and assisting the various parts of the Empire to develop self-government. There is a tendency towards devolution of all local affairs, and at the same time towards centralis tion of all Imperial affairs. The remark able success of the CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN policy in the case of South Africa has left an indelible impression on the minds of British statesmen. We are a result of this in the far-reaching proposals for changes in the government of India. The main outlines of the Report on that sub-

ject have just been published and may be read in recent cables. It is a bold and liberal scheme, and is the obvious reward of the splendid loyalty of India to the Empire in the hour of peril. The Germans made a good many miscalcu tiong about the cohesion of the different units of the Empire, but their greatest disappointment was India. They them selves were dazzled by the mirage of a German Empire in the East, of which the road from Berlin and Baghdad was but an earnest. They firmly believed that they could stir up sedition in India as they have done to successfully, in Russia. They hoped that the blind furs of Bolshevism among the native races of the great Dependeney would make Tidin an intolerable burden British Empire, and enable them to

The main feature of the very numerous proposals in this scheme of devolution is Partamentary government. It is a great experiment. Up to the present, it must be confessed, Parliamentary government has not proved a striking success in that other Oriental country with which in this Colony are so closely interested: It is of course, easy to draw contrasts between India and China. There are two grent advantages which the people of Ladia will have (if the new proposals are (1 adopted) over the Chinese in their political transition.
