510 C.D. THOMPBON has be?n little demand for control, except where religious sensibilities were touched, until very recently. 'Much of the adulteration takes place in the case of raw materials and the export of these is not desired. As for the training of smiled workmen, the "industrious immigrants" from abroad are not-wanted, at least not permanently. They-are to be dispensed with as soon as possible. It is considered far preferable that Indian students should study abroad. But ignorant laborers must be taught in India, and for this the temporary importation of foreigners may be necess?/ry. I?d.?s?,'y is invariably emp'hasized at the expense of Agriculture. Industry is to be protected, agriculture penalized by export duties, in order to stimulate industry. Some writers indeed state that labor for industries cannot be obtained unless labor-saving machinery be introduced in agriculture, or that there is 'no food for an industrial population until agriculture be improved; but the great majority seem to assume that if industries are stimulated agriculture will take care of itself. The example of England is too much kept in mind. The German mercantilists who did not expect (at that time) to get food or raw materials from colonies, paid more attention to their own natural resources. In India, also, there is almost no talk of colonies, and while figures of raw mate?:ials imported are often quoted with the assumption that they ought to be far greater, the urgent cry is that we should maun- facture our own raw materials. It is not realized that this demands the parallel de,?elopment of agricul- ture. It seems to be assumed that if the raw pro- ducts now leaving India'were kept inside, there would be sufi[icient for the greatest possible growth of Indian industries. Urbanization is praised and ruralization decried. A few far-sighted leaders dread an industrial, capitalistic India, enlarge upon the evils of city life,
