Twilight
of
the
Empire
THE
SIMPLE
CEREMONIES
that
a
few
weeks
I
ago
relieved
400
million
people
of
the
overlord-ship
of
the
British
Raj
and
established
their
right
to
domisions
of
their
own,
or
even
to
the
ultimate
right
of
complete
independence,
wrote
"Finis"
also
to
a
political
theory
that
dazzled
the
eyes
of
men
only
a
generation
ago.
In
June
of
next
year
the
dominions
of
Pakistan
and
the
Union
of
India
will
make
thdir
ultimate
choice
between
dominion
within
the
Empire
and
free
and
independent
nationhood.
The
dream
of
and
Empire
of
which
Kipling
sang,
and
whose
brightest
gem
was
India,
will
be
a
thing
of
memory.
India
will
have
proved
again,
what
has
been
proved
so
often,
that
the
price
of
empire
is
to
lose
empire.
One
way,
or
another
all
empires
vanish
either,
as
today,
through
the
demands
of
newly
enlightened
peoples,
or
as
in
the
dark
days
of
the
past,
when
the
hatred
of
subdued
peoples
sooner
or
later
grew
too
great
for
their
conquerors.
It
would
be
idle
to
urge
that
the
concept
of
another
age
would
seem
justified
today.
Empire
by
acquisition
was
a
practice,
not
always
just,
not
always
right,
not
always
honest,
but
at
least
the
practice
of
the
day.
Whatever
its
lacks
and
failures
and
injustices,
it
did
work
for
peace,
and
the
Pax
Britannica
of
1823
did
bring
an
end
to
centuries
of
almost
uninterrupted
civil
and
foreign
wars.
It
was
broken
by
the
great
Mutiny
and
is
broken
again
today
as
the
firm
hand
is
lifted
and
internal
hates
flame
up
anew.
To
those
who
are
not
bigoted
the
test
of
British
Empire
in
India
must
always
be
what
it
found
and
what
it
left
To
a
country
that
had
hardly
ever
known
peace
it
brought
an
even
justice
that
was
not
of
the
sword.
To
a
country
of
150
languages
a."d
a
dozen
warrincr
creeds
it
hrmmrit
rin
cation
for
at
least
a
few
millions
In
a
Country
where
each
vear
millions
died
cause
drouth
destroyed
the
crops
by
which
people
lived,
it
built
vast
irrigation
systems;
those
of
the
Ganges
and
the
Jumna
canals
alone
provide
irrigation
to
three
million
arid
acres.
In
a
vast
land
where,
there
was
no
law
but
the
will
of
princes
it
established
courts
and
police
regulations
until
the
King
s
writ
ran
from
the
Himalayas
to
the
Indian
Ocean.,
In
a
land
where
the
ox-cart
ruled
it
has
built
34,000
miles
of
railroad
and
100,000
miles
of
telegraph.
It
has
sent
125,000
of
its
sons
to
be
governors
and
magistrates
and'
police
and
doctors
and
teachers
and
agricultural
specialists.
It
has
built-up
vast
power
resources
and
an
industry
beyond
believing.
True
these
things
advantaged
itself.
Now,
m
its
own
day
of
greatest
need
it
hands
them
over
freely,
fully
equipped
and
fully
tried.
It
has
encouraged
and
educated
native
officials
to
assist
in
the
affairs
of
government.
This
is
the
price
of
Empire.
This
was
the
"White
Man's
burden
of
which
Kipling
chanted
when
he
was
the
mouthpiece
and
the
apostle
of
an
Imperial
dream
on
which
the
sun
could
never
set.
It
has
been
the
genius
of
the
British
people
that,
although
tney
have
fought
many
years,
they
have
seldom
fought
against
the
inevitable.
So,
in
place
of
a
conflict
that
might
have
set
all
Asia
ablaze,
there
has
been
the
acceptance
of
the
demand
for
freedom,
that
could
be
readily
understood
by
people
to
whom
freedom
has
been
a
peculiar
heritage.
They
have
accepted
India's
demands
without
relinquishing
their
sense
of
responsibility.
They
have
negotiated
and
compromised
until
they
have
found
the
only
possible
way
out
for
the
embittered
factions
ot
an
united
land.
Down
through
the
centuries
a
dozen
empires
have
waxed
and
waned
in
India,
and
nothing
but
their
monuments
of
stone
remain.
But
the
last
Empire,
with
all
faults,
and
they
are
admitted,
lound
a
disordered
land,
where
everyman's
hand
was
against
his
neighbor,
and
left
it
with
a
real
measure
of
hope
that
it
should
move
through
present
bitter
turmoil
into
an
experience
of
demo-ciatic
self-government.

PANNING
GOLD
IN
KITCHEN
SINK;
PLENTY
MESS,
NO
YELLOW
METAL
The
mother
of
a
family
came
home
a
few
days
ago,
to
discover
what
looked
like
a
mixture
of
sand,
gravel
and
mus
keg
in
the
sink,
in
a
wash
basin,
in
sundry
dishes
in
the
pantry
and
to
some
extent
on
the
floor.
No
harm
was
done
to
anything
or
anybody
but
the
general
situation
justified
a
tidying
up
and
a
thorough
questioning,
which
was
done,
without
undue
delay.
It
seems
that
some
members
of
the
household,
convinced'
that
"gold
is
where
you
find
it"
had
taken
a
quantity
of
West
Prince
Rupert
to
where
they
dwell
and,
in
the
seclusion
of
the
kitchen,
along
with
the
advantage
of
plenty
of
running
water,
closely
examined
what
they
had
brought
in
for
a
trace
of
color,
or,
perchance,
a
hefty
nugget
lying
cosily
in
the
middle
of
all
the
mess.
"There
was
no
gold,"
remarked
one,
"but
I
think
there
was
a
little
of
everything
else,"
