This reference to the peaceful conditions which now reign on
the border was most happy, and will, we trust, act as a warning to those restless spirits in India who cannot leave well alone, but who, infatuated with the desire to alter the status quo, would risk hostility with the tribes in an effort to bring them more directly under our control. The Prince ended his admirable speech by a suggestion that all who can should follow his example of making a first-band acquaintance with India. Mr. Morley echoed the Prince of Wales's appeal for sympathy, and though pointing out that in India sympathy bad to meet with supreme difficulties, declared that it was none the less the true secret of our power. We may add that though sympathy is essential, we must never forget that justice and insight are also of paramount importance. We must be careful that sympathy shall never be one-sided, for, if it is, it may obscure justice.
