1914] on An Indian State 69 



Bureaucratic Government. The people understood a strong govern- 

 ment, but they do not understand a Bureaucratic G-overnment 

 tempered by popular institutions. They want one thing or the 

 other. 



The large number of low-paid Indian Officials a danger to our 

 rule. Discontent of educated classes may spread to the remote 

 millions. Little scope for the educated classes. 



Long residence in Indian States has enabled lecturer to compare 

 the two systems of Government. The British system, and the 

 system of the Chiefs. People are happier and more contented in 

 the Indian States than they are in British India. Reasons for this. 



Belief in the great future of India, but that future is endangered 

 by recent experiments. Safety may be found by adopting the 

 system of the Indian States and applying it to British India. 



Explanation of proposal.
