IX. 



Majesty's Secretary of State go before the British 

 public, and invite Capitalists to invest their money 

 in land which he knows they cannot get labor 

 to cultivate? Has the Government of India no 

 concern with this, I would plainly ask ? 



With a little pains and trouble on the part of 

 Government, I believe that labor can be found for 

 all the present wants of India, and for the Colonies 

 besides; but if the economical idea put forth by 

 Sir John Peter Grant, viz., that it is no part of the 

 business of Government to trouble itself about these 

 things, be acted upon if the local Governments of 

 India be allowed to do just as they please, and to 

 decline to take that small amount of trouble which 

 is necessary, and which Colonial and other Govern- 

 ments deem it their duty and find it their interest to 

 take, then Indian developers will continue to make 

 an outcry against foreigners taking away that which 

 they want, and, in my humble judgement, they 

 have reason and right on their side."
