Lies. We were the best thing that ever happened to you ![]() ![]() [Sir E. Carson] And then it goes on; "uncertainty, as concerns India, is in the air. its influence on the situation is un- mistakable. Arms are lacking, it is true, but India has the will and determination to expel England." If that is a true statement of face - I am not now arguing the causes of it or the policy of my right hon. Friend in trying to alleviate the situation there by the Act that was passed last year through this House - all these matters are outside the domain of the soldier. But for Heaven's sake, when you put a soldier into this difficult position, do not visit punishment upon him for attempting to the best of his ability to deal with a situtation for which he is not in the slightest degree responsible. Although he may make an error of judgement, if you have the full idea that he is bona fide - and you can see it was impossible for him under the circumstances calmly to make up his mind in the way you would like, but do not punish him, do not break him. I should like to ask my right hon. Friend if men are to be pubished for errors of judgement such as occurred in this case how many right hon. Gentlemen sitting on that Bench would escape? So far as I am concerned, I am not going further in this matter; I hope we may not get off on a false issue. I am speaking of a man who in his long service has increased the confidence he had gained of those under whom he was serving, who had won the approval of the Lieut. Governor of the Province - who was aquainted with the whole fact - and who had got the approval of his Divisional Commander and of the Commander-in- Chief. I say to break a man under the circumstances of this case is un-English. |
