in order to achieve this, one of the
most important steps will be the
opening up of the civil service to a
still greater extent to the educated
Indian. Not only must this be done
but Indian and British government
employees must be placed on the
same footing and must learn to work
in close cooperation.
"Foreigners in considering home
rule for India often make the mis-
take Of looking upon India as a ma
ton. AS a matter of fact, Hindustan
represents many races and many

subsection been instilled that it will
be exceedingly hard for them to
break away from the belief that they
can have no voice in governing them
selves. But all this is good to
change gradually with the spread of
general education.
"One great STUN bling block in the
way of democracy is the fact that the
Indian never has learned to bow to
the will of the majority. This ray
be seen wherever bodies Of Indians
come together for the discussion Of
matters of mutual interest. Opinion
is divided along partisan lines, fam
lily, racial and religious ties playing
an important part in the division.
The fact that the majority decide
that certain things are for the best
means nothing to the minority, and
split of the body into two or more
factions is almost inevitable. This
characteristic is something that must
be overcome before any success can
be achieved in the matter of popular
government
Religious Differences.
There are numerous other fea-
lures which present obstacles to the
home rule advocates. We have two
great religious bodies-the Hindus
and mmedans-whose interests
at present are largely at. variance
with each other. Some Indian poll
ticians will tell you the claim that
Hindus and Mohammedans cannot
work in harmony is a pure fallacy;
but to one who has spent many years
in India and has made deep study
of these questions. it seems an almost
self-evident fact that the chasm to be
bridged between these two bodies is
wide and deep. Ultimately through a
process of education, Hindus and Mo-
hammedans will be drawn together
into close enough political bonds so
that they can work in unison for the
common good. We have seen SINH
lar conditions in the past history, Of
many countries, and while the ques-
ton of religion at the moment is a
most important one, yet T do not feel
that it is a permanent barrier in the
way of political progress for India.

rule, I have great faith in the ca

FOR HOME RULE
So Declares Rev. DR.. Ewing,

American Resident Of Punjab

Lahore, India, Jan. 3O.-Politica1
matters have taken on an added
prominence in India OF late, due
largely, according to the general ex-
preston of opinion, 20 the fact that
the War has shown the people of this
country their importance to the rest
OF the empire, thereby arousing their
aspirations for progress. Naturally
the subject of ultimate home-rule
occupies a large place in the thoughts
of the Indian politician, few of the
so-called ultra-radicals even advocat-
ing the immediate granting of some
form of government
Ihe questions Of what the British
government ought to do and intends
to do towards bestowing further po-
Jltlcal powers on the Indian. and of
how much immediate advance the
Indian himself is capable of MAX
Ing, are being generally and eagerly
discussed. A correspondent of The
Associated Press has discussed these
questions with scores of prominent
Europeans and Indians during the
past few months. Some extremely
the majority of those who expressed
an opinion met on certain common
grounds which are we'll summa rized
in an interview with the Rev. DR.. j.
c. r. Ewing, the we'll known Ameri-
can educator. who for the past seven
years has occupied the important post |
OF vice chancellor, or president of the |
University of Punjab Dr. Ewing is |
the only American who has ever been |
accorded so high an honor in India |
as was bestowed upon him when he |
was made head of this university to |
direct the activities of twenty seven |
affiliated colleges in the province, |
with their student population Of some |
10000. AS a mark of appreciation |
for his services to this country he |
was decorated by the king in 1914,
being made Companion of the Indian
empire. He has made deep study
of political questions in India and |
not infrequently has been consulted
by government officials on delicate
matters of policy. -..
SIS Home Rule Inevitable.
DR.. Ewing expressed the belief that |
home rule for India was inevitable |
but declared that the country was not |
prepared for it at the moment and |
would not be ready for this impor-
tant step for many years to come.
&"When the British government at |
the~atimo of Lord lMacaulay introduced |
Western education into India it |
opened the door for self government,''
said the doctor. "Such a step, in
volving the teaching of democratic
ideals. could have no other result. 1t |
was the crossing of the Rubicon, and |
there is no turning back. To do the |
British government Justice, I believe
that they made this move with the |
full knowledge Of what the outcome |
must be. and that they have always |
had in mind the ultimate granting of I
home rule to the people Of Hindus-
tan.
There are. of course, various

shades of opinion among both Eu-
ropeans and Indians as to the speed
towards which the home rule goal
should be approached. The great
bulk of the people of India are il
literate, something like "a per cent
according to the latest Statistics but
among the other six per cent. there
are many highly educated and bril-
liant men who could be called upon
to play their part in government.
Home rule can never become an ac-
fact until q trained body
of Indians has been raised up. And

languages, and in the process of uni
fication there are as many difficulties
to be overcome as there would be,
for instance, in an attempt to bring
all the various countries of North and
South America under one govern
ment.
Ignorant of Politics.
Moreover, the average Indian Of
the so-called illiterate class knows
nothing of politics and takes no in
terest in problems of government.
He is mainly concerned with his own
little personal matters, and so long
as conditions of government favor
him in the pursuit of his affairs it
makes small difference to him what
that government is or what shape it
takes.

than weakened the prevalent ecclesiasti-

times indicative of an opportune hour. In
fact
conditions were just opposite. There was
nc efeminate, luxury-loving civil ruler on
the throne. Charles, who ruled over an en-

DAYS Of Charlemagne, was an able, wise,
iudicious and pious sovereign. He was firmly

not the case. An historian of the time
