He has to work hard. ‘The" responsibility of administering a vast and powerful empire rests upon his lone shoulders. His anxieties ar: sometimes mortal. Said the novelist-diplomat, Lord Lyt- ton, whom Disraeli elevated to the vice- regal throne half a century ago: “I devoted my life to India and everybody #bused me. I come here (he was then Ambassador in Paris), do nothing and am praised to the skies.” ‘The Marquess Curzon of Kedleston, the magnificent nobleman who had two terms of the viceroyalty at the begin- ning of this century—and Was S0 enamored of forms and ceremonies that he had his own butler at the foreign office when he was foreign secretary, and once ordered a fire made up thus, “Footman, throw fuel on the flame!"— ©urzon, of all men, ought to have en- | Joyed the pomp and panoply of the viceregal office. But he records that, once he was at his desk at 10 am., he never left it, excepting for a brief meal or a public function or a drive, until 2 o'clock the following morning. “Over the viceregal throne,” he lamented, “hangs not only a canopy of broiderec gold, but a mist of himan tears.” Clive, the great soldier who began the conlt\lul of India for England, was driven by persecution on his return home to commit su‘cide. Warren Hast- ings, greatest of all the governors gen- eral, who spread British dominion over the northern and central provinces and founded British rule in India, came home broken in health after 13 tremer- dous years—and was promptly im- peached by his political enemies. Worn Out at 45. Lord Dalhousie, who, despite contin- ual {ll health and the loss of an adored wife, held on for seven critical years, added four ancient sovereignties and $10,000,000 of annual revenue to the territorial rent roll of th: East India Co. and consolidated the rule which Hastings had founded—Dalhousie re- turned home a poor man, broken in health, and died, worn out at 45. Wellesley, another great viceroy, was recalled and narrowly escaped impeach- ment. Several others over the last hundred years havs had to resign to escape the ignominy of dismissal owing to political maneuvers at home. One was assassinated; three died on the job. Lord Irwin resembles at points that Lord Canning who 2s governor general saw the long-drawn agony of the mu- tiny drag its bloody trail across the upper provinces in the 50s.. He had a conscience.

He refused either to resign or to yield to the popu- lar clamor for a policy of revenge. Pleasures Are Continued. The normal life of Government House and the capital ran on undisturbed. He gave dinner parties, balls, as though India were not in dan of being lost to the Britich crown.

In June they bore his mortal remains up the nave of Westminster Abbey. Now the tom-toms of the imperialists beat in Whitehall and in Calcutta. De- bates have been raging in both houses of Parliament in London around the Vviceroy's declaration. Irwin remains calm in his palace in old Delhl. He al- ways held that the grant of a_constitu- tion to India under the Montagu- Chelmsford reforms implied the eventual grant of full dominion status, and that the governing race must perish before it goes back upon its implied sacred pledge; and by his declaration he has satisfied his conscience. He goes on with his job. He receives the rajas of the semi-autonomous states, the petty chiefs of the frontier, the party leaders from the political focus poings of British India. He carries on his enor- mous correspondence with provineial governors and heads of administration.

So long as he is doing what he con- celves to be his duty, Lord Irwin does not care for any one or anything. largely explains why his friend an mirer, Stanley Baldwin, picked him to be viceroy in succession to the brilliant, self-made Jew lawyer-politician, Rufus Isaacs, now Earl of 3 Lord Irwin was the Hon.

So, made a peer in his own right (as is customary), he sailed for the East, was welcomed at Bombay, the gateway of India, by Indian princes and the gove: ernor of the province, and traveled on to Delhi, the new seat of British gov-- ernment in Indian, was recelved with military pageantry én the lawn of the vicerega]l lodge and walked slowly up the steps—and began his regime. A curious experience for a peculiarly English man who had never traveled in * India or had previous experience of Indian life and problems. And yet not 0 difficult, after all, in technical detail: for the viceroy has at his back the accumulated traditions of 150 years of British rule and the tightest,and most. strongly o1 ized bureaucracy in the world. Besides, everything on the cere- monial and social side is simpler now. Only a residuum of the old pic~ turesque pageantry and formal etiquette remains in the ritual at Government House.

Not as in Old Days. ‘The modern ways would have made the old governors general shake their heads and talk-loudly of the empire and of the world's end. Warren Hastings— whose wife, appointed a chamberlain, had her train upheld by pages and re- quired ladies to wear plumes at Gov+' ernment House functions as at a royal® court in England—gave dinners at which the toasts were the King, the Queen and the royal family, the East India Co., the army and navy, the com- mander-in-chief and success to the British arms in India. Each toast was a salute of 21 trom cannon amde. o There was little dancing in those days, because by the time the gentlemen were through the tory and the unofficial toasts and their own private interim libations they were too drunk’ to stand.
