As the English world empire must at this
moment devote all its powers to meeting the dangers which
threaten it in Europe, Asia and Africa, and as the final liberation
of Egypt and of Persia from the English and Russian yoke is
imminent, I am persuaded that lour Highness will use every endeavour
to set India free also and to secure for her as an independent
empire that place in the council of nations which is her due.
In these your endeavours Your Highness will find the most energetic
support in the Imperial Government and its exalted allies, Germany,
Austria-Hungary and the Turkish Empire employ their military and
economic forces with a view to bringing the war to a happy end
and not only for themselves but also for all others who join them.
This war must be carried on until it is made impossible for England
as hitherto to take the best from the people under her yoke and
exploit them for her own purposes. Contrary to the slanders for
years disseminated by our enemies Germany has never attempted to
extend her dominion anywhere in the East. In accordance with
her history, her tradition, her external situation and internal
constitution she cannot do otherwise than welcome all efforts
which may lead to the liberation of the ancient civilised nations
of the East. True to these principles Germany and her allies
have no thought of mixing in any way in the future internal
constitution of free India. On the contrary Germany, Austria-
Hungary and the Turkish Empire will recognise this future Indian
empire as having equal rights and will cultivate the friendliest
relations with her in politics, economics and culture.
