INDIAN POLICY.
London, March 8. In the House of Lords, Lord Roberts said a forward policy was essential in order to repel the Russian advance upon India. The policy of the British Government was inadequate. Britain ought to hold all passes and bring the tribesmen under authority. He had no fears as to the result of a conflict with Russia. India would only remain loyal while she believed Britain invincible.
Earl Kimberley, who was Secretary for India in Mr Gladstone's administration, 1892-94, said the policy pursued by Lord Lawrence in regard to India was obsolete.
