. . Yet what a missionary says would not be accepted by the government if it contradicted the reports of its own agents. . .. It was my great good fortune to be thrown with the missionaries from the start, and I was able to compare their methods and knowledge with those of the government people. It is as if you should sit with the audience in the front of a theatre and witness the performance from that point of view, and then should go behind the scenes and see the reality. The first is the pos...ture of the government people ; the latter that of the missionaries. It is the government's misfortune, not its fault. When I returned, after my tour to Bombay, and made the statement that eight million persons had already died of famine and disease directly caused thereby, I was met with blank incredulity. But I know, and the mission- aries know, that the statement is within the truth. Eight millions — nearly twice the population of London ! Think if you can of this number of persons slowly turn- ing into skeletons and dying for lack of food — and no one knowing anything about it.
