"The Wealth and Progress of 1:►- dia : Facts and Fictions," was the subject of a paper read before the last India Association at Casten Hall, London, England, by Mr. Charles McMinn, who has lived is India for the past forty-six )ears. Mr. McMinn denied that Ardis had suffered from British rule; on the contrary, it had greatly bene- fitted. Dealing with misstatements by critics, he referred to a member of Parliament who, after spending six weeks in India, said that in the last forty years 30,000,000 natives died of poverty. Official statistics showed that the number was really 1,003,000. Mr. Surendranath Banerjeo de- clared a few months ago that £33,- 000,000 was sent in casts from India to England yearly. The truth was that the bullion export to the whole world was only £9,000,000, while the import averaged £28,000,000, a yearly gain of 1;19,000,000 to India. "Indian weaving and spinning have been destruyed," said Sir Henry Cotton, yet the exports of jute and cotton fabrics in 1(106 were worth .19,500,000, four times store Chau at any period under the Mu - The sea -borne trade guarded by the British navy was valued at 2271,000,000 and if India contribut- ed to the cost of the fleet, which she did not, she would pay £6,100.- 000 mutuality. That sum was equal to the cost of all the British officers in India, a fact to be remembered by critics when they talked about the drain caused by salaries.
