IN DEFENCE OF INDIA.
A SPEECH IN CANADA. INDIA A PROP OF THE EMPIRE. United Press Association—Copyright (Received January 6, 9.36 p.m.) OTTAWA, January 6. .. Viscount- Middleton, speaking at Ottawa, reminded Canadians that India was made a prop of the Empire—instead of India pulling upon us we were, always pulling upon India. It was Indian troops who saved Natal, who helped to relieve the British Legation at Pekin and who averted disaster at Suak-im. Those realising that nearly one-third of the world’s population had been attached to the British Empire would deal generally witli statesmen in their difficulties about the Indian races.
