lie will return to India in June. after
having been away from home FIVE
years.
Chand says that missionaries have
given a wrong impression OF the caste
system of India. "In America the ascte
Of the dollar is as strong as our spir-
itu1l caste" he said You frown on
intrrmarriaRes OF people OF different
religious. Because of contrariety of
national characteristics We in India
do not allow Nohammedans to marry
Brahmans, but we do permit inter
marriages of low caste and high caste
persons in the same sect"
Chsnd criticiSes American youths
because they are interested in the
superhcialties of life. "Our youths in
their leisure gather around one who
has a reputation for knowledge and
discuss philosophy or religion with
him. Here young men seat them
selves in the parks with one young
woman on the right arm and another
on the left and talk love babble."

Mr.. Gardner read a portion OF the
letter from Assistant Secretary or the
