Indian Prosperity and British
Trade
Bombay Times of India: It was long
advanced as all argument by earnest
Indian nationalists that Great Brie
tain's trade interest laid in keeping
India poor and in economic subjection,
since this secured for Great Britain
a large and study market for British
goods. Nothing can be farther from
the truth. Britain's trade intexe5t3'
are best served by greater prosperity
in India, particularly on the agricul•
Lural population. An increase in the
wealth of the people means an increase.
in their purchasing power, and higher
purshasing power means better trade.
Economists have calculated. that if the
standard of living of the masses of
India was raised to a not very con-
Maltasiderable height, unemploynhestit
