This policy put thousards of our Indian subjects' out of employment when, instead, should havo' h"o» givon State-'iided scientific -assistii"-" to improve the nM'ves' erode mot l '"' 1 - of production. IT" could tvit thin!: that those responsible for the notion he had referred to could b» trusted in look after the business of tho nation in future.
