London, July 21.—Introducing the Indian budget in the house of com- mons Indian Secretary Morley sounded a warning note on the necessity of ex- cluding India from the field of party politics. The most engrossing of Great Britain’s foreign relations, he declared, were the Asiatic, those involving this country with China, Japan and Russia, which was an Asiatic as well as a European power. Every false step in India would send Great Britain in a confusion infinitely more dire and more disastrous than had the false step taken in South Africa. “India’s case in the free trade con- troversy can be put in a nutshell,” he declared. “Her prosperity and com- fort, the growth of her trade and com- merce and the solvency of India hang on her exports. The United Kingdom takes 25 per cent of her exports, while Europe and the Far East take 76 per cent. Thus when the people of Great Britain asked India for preferential duties they were asking her to dis- criminate against three-fourths of her customers.” Mr. Morley considered the time ripe for an advance in the improvement of the system of the government of India.
