^ » CHAPTER III. INDIA'S PLACE IN THE EMPIRE. In his speach at the Guildhall in July of last year Lord Curzon himself sketched the position which India fills in the British Empire, and the part which she has to play in the relations of the Empire to other countries. I cannot therefore do better than reproduce his own words on that occasion as showing the task that he had set be- fore him to perform before I say a few words re- garding the manner in which it has been accom- plished. " If you wan...t to save your Colony of Natal from being overrun by a formidable enemy, you ask India for help, and she gives it ; if you want to rescue the white men's legations from massacre at Peking, and the need is urgent, you request the Government of India to despatch an expedition, and they despatch it; if you are fighting the mad Mullah in Somaliland, you soon discover that 23 Indian troops and an Indian General are best qualified for the task, and you ask the Government of India to send them ; if you desire to defend any of your extreme outposts or coaling stations of the Empire, Aden, Mauritius, Singapore, Hong-kong, even Tien-tsin or Shan-hai-kwan, it is to the Indian Army that you turn ; if you want to build a railway to Uganda or in the Soudan, you apply for Indian labour.
