The Imperial .Government must find the money in the first iad»noe. a lf that means a far too great addition to the debt and taxation of India to be consistent with a Government of progi-Msforthd future, let us sefWHat 'the various components of the Empire can contribute towards dividing the burden jwith India, though even then the variotfe legislatures would have-to vote sums requisite, or they would necessarily be too small, and the burden of them too unequally distributed. A quarter of a million, even if the voluntary subscription ultimately reached that amount, would fnbt be more; than sixpence in the/ pound ofwhat is needed, and probably not so much." u T^h 'Du'ttediii ' Sta^says :— lt . ia *e;lie = un/ortunate 'for Sir fceorVe' ; &rey ' Inaf :*y .jlias been reduced from thjer necessities of thecuae to take Colonel' Whitmore n B bit representative iu the Legislative Council.
