 London, Oct. 26.--Two very serious problems are facing Great Britain to- day--how to check the growth or so- cialism at home and how to prevent sedition from spreading among the na- tives of India.
 The bishops and archbishops of the Episcopal church are greatly alarmed at the growth of socialistic ideas and the question of what the Church is to do, has been seriously discussed. ] Tn a recent speech on socialism at the Church Congress at Yarmouth the Bishop of Stepney said:
 we see the tide of a great move ment, which. whether we like it or not. is going to be the master current or the life of the people of England in the twentieth century" said the Bishop. There fs abundance of luxury, but there Is appalling abundance of pov- erty. The nineteenth century forgot It Is not enough to produce wealth law ish1y, it is important how 1t is dis turbed. A reaction was bound to come, and some of us welcome 1t. The nine teenth century was the period of in- dividualism and competition. The twentieth century will take it's place as the era of Socialism and co-opera- tion.
 ''what is to be the attitude of the Church? Tt cannot be one of mere op- position. The question is not whether we can arrest 1t. but whether the i'm fiuence of Christ can lead and guide 1t; whether 1t can be made movement which will come gradually and fruit fully. or suddenly and dangerously. whether 1t will be a movement of peace or of violence, of justice or injustice"
 The Church, he added, could belong f<xt.k q.i rn with the labor movement. but they must remind 1t that labor has its du. ties as web as It's rights.
 Giving Government Concern.
 The seditious movement among the natives of India fsAgiving the govern ment great concern and the officials are unable to find means to check it.
 The leaders of the uprising are mak- ing the most of the fact that MT. Keir Hardie, member of the British Parliament during his recent visit to India, openly declared himself in sym pathy with the movement which pur- poses to overthrow British rule in that country.
 The rebels make no secret of their desires and the whole country Is flood ed with seditious pamphlets and news papers in which the British rule is de- nounced.
 One native paper which has circu- lation of more than 100000 wrote the other day:
 we want complete independence. India cannot prosper so long as the veriest shade of the Feringhi's (for- eigners) supremacy over 1t Is left. Ffe on the idea that the Feringhi's are to remain our masters forever. A strang- CT has entered into our home He must, be put out or Kept only as a servant or guest. This is the aim of the new party"
 The object of the sedition -mongers is to drive the English out of India, and instead of British rule to set up the old oppressive social system of the native rulers, which is chiefly made up of class distinctions. degrading super stitions, and objectionable forms of polygamy This Is the movement to which Mir. Kier Hardie has lent to the authority of the labor party in Great Britain. |
 Foremost among the seditious news papers is the "Bande Mataram" of Calcutta, which has an enormous cir- culation. The following extracts from 1t will give a fair impressioN of its aims:
 Dare to die a hero! Where is there
 The foeman half so strong As to overcome thy onset Who
 Would choose to suffer long, With a forced and wearied patience?
 Sudden death is better far! Drive out the barbarous foemen,
 Freeing all the Aryan land. To this strong and famous poem,
 That shall make men gods for might, Kindling fiery joy of battle.
 When King has lost the fight.
 People are soundly thrashing Fer inghi (foreigne~) wherever they come across one. Wherever a Feringhi is seen the boys throw brickbats at him as they get the opportunity. And the British soldier Is con To what pass have they come?"
 "Englishmen are not gods. They are men like Indians or rather, they arc not men but monsters"
