And, somehow or other, the armada idea has never been a great success in history.

The: lntrepidity of these daily experience: in the aeroplane has proved, more-l over, that as a ththtine weapon thes: aeroplane, even in ite present relative-f ly small-sized development, is the thing to conjure by; since, while the menate of large Zeppeline, with their formidable radius of action, is not to be lightly taken, the airships are [ vulnerable in the presence of aero- 1 planes that can carry heavy rapid-tire ordnance and a large supply of fuel.

Gold has been used ithrongh the centuries by India as ,other peoples have used gems and' lpaintings and objects of art for ther, gorgeous ornamentation of public buildings and palaces. Gold is locked up in the treasure chambers of the princes, it is used as a basis of credit} for merchants and traders, and the poor people, who have secreted it in nooks and crannies, as well as in the earth, have sometimes died of starva. tion rather. than part with it, One of the most important Mahara- jahs cf India has cannon of solid gold I that precede him when he goes about.

Pliny tells of unavailing protests made in the first year of the Christian era of exportation, of the precious metal from the Roman Empire, nearly $15,- 000,000 of it being sent annually to, India. Queen Elizabeth, in 1600 tried! in vain to counteract the flow of gold from her country to India. f ‘ From the latest commerce reports comes a vast amount of interesting , information concerning the absorption of treasure by this great country. India is what two different writers. have called respectively "the great sink of precious metals" and the [ "money graveyard of the world." For twenty-five centuries there has been a constant flow of gold and silver into India from the Western nations. It has been one of the unchanging ecu-i nomic conditions of the world, and; one which rulers of different lands, de-, pleted for it, have tried in vain to; stop. _ :,,Ve_..-...uyu,, u": I . capital of the Caesars for 1,100 years, ' as the capital of Russia, and left to his successors the following injunction: ll“Keep in mind that. the commerce of I India is the commerce of the World. ‘ and that he who can exclusively con- _ trol it is the dictator of Europe." This, injunction has never been quite for-i gotten. ' , "Money Graveyard of the World." The aim of each nation that. has ever sought dominion in the great re- lg'ion known as India has been com- mercial and not colonial. As Admiral} Mahan pointed out in "The Problem of! Asia," India constitutes a highly im-i iportant "base" of military and naval! power as well as an area valuable in itself. As a source of wealth it is the) richest "possession" on the face or/ the earth. It yields annual revenues, of $500,000,000. The balance of trade“ is always in favor of India. As a re-i‘ servoir of precious metal India is bar- I l barically splendid. This fabulous am! cumulation of concrete wealth is an ll interesting theme. 1 t [ But the Teutonic designs on India ,are older. They are at least as old 'as the '/Berlin-to-Bagdad" project. ;The Bagdad railway is Germany's "Suez Canal," the symbol of her dreams for empire eastward, the con- necting link from Berlin to the Per- ‘sian Gulf-and beyond lies India, the pearl of the British Ernpire's crown.)
