interference. I believe it to be the only policy that
will be understood by those with whom we have to
deal. Our position in India, and the position we

from enforcing the obligations of those engage
ments. It is only thus that we can effectively pro
tect commerce, the interests of British and Indian
subjects, and the general interests of humanity and
civilization.
Wm. J. Eastwick.
