Excerpt from Russia Against India: The Struggle for Asia
The writer has given the outlines of a policy, at once bold and prudent, which alone would, in his opinion, meet the exigencies of the situation. But no such policy is likely to be initiated unless the People - who govern Governments instruct themselves, become interested, and demand that measures be taken to safeguard the prestige of the anglo-saxon in Asia.
