DISTRESS IN INDIA.
Native Hindoo Tells of the Famine
in His Country.
Parents Driven by Hunger to Steal
Food from Their Starving Chill
dren-A Case of Too Much
Costly Government.

Chronic poverty, caused by excessive
taxation necessary for the support of
the civil service in India, was given
as the reason for the Indian famnes by
Bipin Chandra Pal in his address before
he Boston Christian Endeavor union.
The meeting was for the benefit of the
starving millions in India.
Mr.. Pal is native of Calcutta, a
member of the Brahmo-Somaj, or So
ciety for the worship of the only true
God. an educated IIindoo, one of the
most intelligent and cultivated of his
'ace. In speaking of the famine, Mr..
Pa! said to St. Louis Republic CORE
spondent:
Some people say to me: Why don't
You irr;gate, so that the failure of rain
will not ruin the crops" Others say:
why can You not teach your people to
engage in agriculture on a scientific
basis SO that the crops will not be a
;ailure?'
ITO these questions I answer that it
is not the failure Of the crops that is
responsible for the terrible famines
which devastate India from time to
time.
'Whatever the trouble may be, it is a
chronic trouble and attacks my people
in an acute form.
According to Sir William Hunter, at
one time the statistical registrar Of In
dia, 4o,A0o,oo0 of people live on INSULT
cient food. Out of the O0.OO0,OOO souls
in India 4N,GOO,OOD exist on one meal a
day. That meal, instead of being on
meat or some really strengthening and
nourishing matter, consists of cereals
or vegetables varied at times with a
small piece of fish.
"Chronic poverty is the real trouble
with my people. The failure of the
rains raises prices and as result the

submerged 10000, 900 of the popula ton
are left in terrible straits.
''1n regard to the extent of the fam
inc we are informed that 100000
persons are receiving government re-
lief. The natives affected by the short
age Of food are reduced to mere bags
of bones. Parents are SO hungry that
they will steal food from their children
in order to preserve their own lives"
The speaker then showed. by giving a
sketch Of the great famines during the
past 200 years. that for years the ma
tives of India have been poverty-strick-
en- and have lived on insufficient food.
To-day in certain districts Of India
there are as many as 500 inhabitants to
each cultivated square mile of terri
tory. This land is so highly taxed that
the cnltivator cannot lay by enough
money to support himself during the
bad years"
Mr.. Pal gave an instance Of where the
cultivator of IL tract of land earned
1925 on his produce. Of this amount
$%5 went to pay the taxes. After pay

In another instance cited. the cult

amount due the estate. had left SIS on
which to support a family Of seven for
year The estates exact at least q
third of the gross receipts for rent.
I'm india" continued the speaker,
I'VE have to pay Il very dear price for
our most excellent government. We
have to pay for the support OF the i'm
perial army in India. also for the In
dian civil service. India is grateful to
England for what the latter has done
for her. Among other things Great
Britain has united the Indian states
into one grand confederation. This
civilization costs India SIS, GOO 900 each
year.
II am n most loyal subject Of the
queen and cannot complain of the
heavy price which India is forced to
pay for her government. At present
India must he governed by Engla i,
but for India. through India and in the
interests of India.

Antipodean Mouse story.

A flight of Australian fancy is given
in an English paper. The readers were
asked to believe that mice swarmed in

have attempted to eat people in bed.
