I would use my best endeavours to make these States independent in matters of administration.

If I were going to remain Indian Secretary for some time to come, my every effort would be devoted to an abatement of that enormous amount of writing.

But as I read it, as I listen to serious Indian experts with large experience, it all sounds estrangement and alienation even though it be no worse than superficial.

It would be a happy day for the Peace Society that should give the colonies a veto on imperial war.
