INDIA.
"THE PROP OF THE EMPIRE." SPEECH BY VISCOUNT MIDDLETON. Received January 6, 9.28 p.m. OTTAWA, January 6. Viscount Middleton, speaking at Ottawa, reminded the Canadians that India was the main prop of the Empire. "Instead of India pulling upon us." said Viscount Middleton, "we are always pulling upon India. It was the Indian troops who saved Natal and helped to relieve the British Legation at Pekin; and averted disaster at Snakim. Those realising that nearly one-third of the world's population has been attached to the British Empire would deal gently with the statesmen in their difficulties about the Indian races."
