the Chinese were not ready for re-

Prof. Sudhindra Bose. Hindu pro-

the discussion the occasion of saying
that the orient would do better II
Americans and Europeans would
leave il alone.
.grhere are certain Hindu villages
where the theory of representative
government is worked out more sat-
isfaetorily than anywhere else in the
world he said. THE orient is not
backward nor behind the times. The
Chinese will work out a satisfactory
system of representative government
II they are not hampered by meddle-
some westerners.
In explaining himself, DR.. Beard
said
