My reply would be that it is not merely for
the sake of the £ s. d. that we would strive to
maintain our present position. We should do
so to uphold a principle—the principle that,
while we are prepared to respect the rights of
others, we are equally determined to maintain
our own. In India we know perfectly well the
absolute necessity of not giving way on a point
of principle before an Asiatic power. In the
matter of Manchuria we are engaged with
two Asiatic powers, Russia and China, each
of whom it is necessary to treat on precisely
the same lines. Give way an inch before an
Asiatic, and he believes you weak, increases in
bombast, and gives you infinite trouble after-
wards, when you are compelled to make clear
to him your true relative position. Give way
upon a question of our rights in Manchuria
without obtaining some counterbalancing ad-
vantage, and we shall have a compound increase
of difficulties afterwards in maintaining similar
rights, first in North China, and afterwards
in the Yangtse Valley ; for not only will the
Russians have less compunction about infringing
our rights, but they will also be in a better
position for enforcing their demands.
