meant dissipation of the evil. People
thus ignorant, prejudiced, placed in

peoples. 1 have purposely neglected

lack Of sympathy becomes absolute de-
spising, even event iating in physical SUI
fering. From this lowest point 1t rises.
through various degrees of indifference,
TO restful remoteness. But, with few eX-
ceptions, the Englishman bears himself
toward the Indian, as superior to inferior

not superior-of course as class he IS
But despite this difference 1t would he

show more sympathy I5r and with tho

which the Prince of Wales alluded In an
address made on his return from his re-
