to the Afghans, who would prefer Tzar to Amir as master. Russia is thus already in a position to bring great pressure to bear on India. She can, by occupying Afghan territory just across her own frontier, but 500 inhospitable miles beyond ours, force us, whenever she pleases, to go to war with her, at great initial disadvantage to ourselves. Should we decline the challenge, the alternative of war is that we should " eat dirt " before all Asia, in which case the invasion ...of India from Russia's new and advanced frontier would be a possibility. We should not forget that Russia's astute diplomacy, long before she had obtained a conterminous boun- dary with Afghanistan, cost us three wars and one warlike expedition. Of the four, two — in 1838-42 and 1856-57 — were undertaken with the object of detaching Herat from Russia's vassal, Persia. The other two were the well-known Afghan wars of 1838-42 and 1878-80. Those wars and the action preceding them cost Russia little, but India quite 50 millions sterling.
