But trade has its ups and downs. There is the law of compensation, Mauritius killed the Irdian sugar trade, and it would seem as if java were to snatch the trade from Mauritius in turn. It should be remem. bered that Java is nearer India than that island, that the sugarcane grown in the Malacca Islands is more productive of saccha rine matter ton per ton, and that the machinery for refining it is up to date. All these are favourable elements for Java sugar becoming extremely popular in this country and slowly driving out the Mauritian. At the same time it is deplorable that fadian capitalists do not embark on this indigenous enterprise.

Sugar-making is one of the Indian industries known from times immemorial. There are the records of the East India Company to testify to the fact that only a century ago Indian sugar was exported as far as Cadizļjand Brazil. The North-West Provinces, Bengal and Madras are most favoured by nature for the cultivation of the sugarcane in enormous quantities, which would supply all the sugar needed for domestic consumption, but, now imported annually to the value of seven crores of rupees on BO average.
