Hindu Scholar
Writes Letter On
Hindu Iyauasiora

the American mind look down upon
the Hindus.
Furthermore, l have noticed that
most of the people in this country
make bad mistake in Judging a
group or nation by the actions and
life of an individual. For instance, if
Mr.. r. Khan draws bad check Il
am not discussing the judgment of the
Court here) he himself is to be blamed
and not all the Hindu living in the
valley or in India. and likewise, the
Hindus in India should not be judged
by the actions and other qualities of
the Hindus in the valley.
"Not very long ago l gave a certain
amount to hotel clerk "a white man)
in this town towards my room rent,
and to my great surprise he put down
on the register two dollars less and
pocketed the whole two dollars and
left the town. | am not going to
blame either the hotel or the entire
country for the actions of this indl-
vidual thief: | have met some very
nice people here.
"To bring about a better under
standing between the Hindus and the
Californians in this state, in my hum
BILE Judgment, can be accomplished by
taking the following and similar
steps:
81. Start a school which the Hin
5us should attend on Saturdays or
SUNDAYS when they come into the
town for shopping and where they can
learn the English language and Amer
lean ideals or Americanism.
80 Try to be a little sociable with
the Hindus and do not show YOUR in
difference. After all color and dress
do not make much difference. OF
what use is it to send your mission
aries and money to India when you
cannot do missionary work among the
few Hindus that are with you?
''3. Do not be jealous if your Hindu
brother succeeds in his business and
is able to make a living; he deserves
it Just as much as you do.
~. Do not always talk i'll Of Hin
dus, and please do not publish articles
as follows in your papers, because an
average person is neither educated
and experienced enough nor has he
enough time to read between the
lines:
"Brawley News laments fact
that we are raising Hindus and

"T wish you people knew exactly
what kind of treatment your own
countrymen in India receive at our
hands. We, of course, cannot and DO
not expect to be treated that way over
here, and yet we deselfe at least e
little better treatment and consldra-
ton than we are receiving now.

Imperial Valley press., 1918-12-21


The following interesting and schol-
arly letter on a timely topic, the Hin
du invasion of the rich coastal regions
of the west, has been received by the
Press and is published for the pur-
pose of ascertaining or crystalllzing
public opinion on the subject:
Ever since / came in this valley
over two weeks ago-I have read sew
eral articles in the newspapers and
have talked with several people, both
Hindus and Americans, on the sub
iect of Hindus in California. The
whole trouble, according to my con-
clusion is the misunderstanding on
the part of both the Hindus and the
Californians about each other.
q am native of India myself and
have gone under many experiences
analogous to those of my cOuntrymen
who have had the privilege of making
their homes among you. Nearly all
of nv eight years in this country were
spent in or about Chicago, and several
months in travelling in many states of
the Union, where l had occasion to
learn much about Americanism. |
have had the privilege of living and
associating both with the poor and
the rich-with the wage -earners and
the millionaires, and with the for
eigners' and the citizens. Therefore,
l am in a position to understand a
little about the working Of human
American citizen and foreigner
mind.
"Now, to get back to the subject,
the Hindus in California have had very
little chance to understand the Amer
leans (Californians), due to several
reasons, some Of which are:
81. The prejudice, racial, class and
color, that is in the minds of the
Americans, and which reacts in the
minds of the foreigners when they
notice the indifferent attitude of the
"2. The lamentable group life that
nearly all the so-called foreigners are
obliged to lead due to the prejudice
and difference in language and religi-
Gus beliefs.
"3. Most of their time is occupied
in earning enough or nearly enough
money to meet the high expenses.
"The prejudice in the minds of the
Americans is the result of missionary
speeches, newspaper articles and of
Gossip Right here l am sorry to
make a passing renari; that the mis-
sionaries, the advocates and heralds of
truth in many instances misrepresent
the different foreign countries by re-
lating a local or individual case as if
it were the typical or racial case.
"Again. the newspapers which feed
TIE American minds are the means Of
publishing, bnce in a while, such arti-
cles as the Big Man. which fill up the
American minds with false pride and
self-conceit and make them forget
the great truth revealed to them by
their Great Man Uincoln), that all
men are born equal Of course, Mr..
Lincoln did not live long enough to
define man, in writing, and that
gives a chance to the people to form
their own definition of man. Again,
the title of this article has been bor-
rowed from an article in one of the
California papers which tried to make

the proposed third nomination for him.
Another Congress under his influence,
and sitting on the eve Of the opening
Of the next democratic national eonven-
ton, could be made Of service in his
behalf both in the matter Of another
nomination and in the campaign to
follow.
OF course, if Mr.. Wilson again leads
his party the New York democracy will
support him. Tammany is always reg
ular, though not always enthusiastic.
Hence, too much said now about a
third term as a matter of principle in
the New York gubernatorial race might
be quotable and embarrassing two
years hence should the issue be raised
in the presidential campaign.
A campaign tamely begun, and until
now tamely conducted, has upon the
sudden been changed into one Of the
utmost animation. State races and
the congressional races both show the
effect Of the appearance of the Presi-
dent in the field as a partisan bidder
for votes. New topics have been in
troduced, and texts for both the stump
and the press multiplied many fold.
And only few days remain for using
them.

are calculated to compel the govern
ment to 60 far afieh for workers and
by a dilution Of the efficiency lists
to select persons Of really less COM
petence than If the range of selection
were actually open, with those closest
at hand available regardless Of num-
bers and ratios and family.
Obviously the seriously discommod-
ing and actually dangerous crowding
Of the city incident to the sudden and
large expansion Of the government
service incident to the war was due in
considerable measure to the imita-
tons which appointing officers faced.
Instead of selecting clerical assistants
from the nearest source Of supply they
had to 60, through the Civil Service
Commission, to the country at large
and bring in people from every state,
without thought of where they were
to be housed or how they were to be
sustained while here. The unendur-
able housing congestion Of today is
largely the result Of that. The lower
ing Of the local barriers may relieve
the situation somewhat, but at pres
emit only as respects the further en-
largement of the departmental service.
The experience of the past eighteen
months should assuredly result in the
amendment of the civil service law in
a manner to insure a permanent right
to the government to select its work
ers from the field of greatest eligi-
bility and to the people Of the Dis
trict to work for the government with
out arithmetica1 restriction.

The Third Term Issue.

The latest interesting development
in the New York campaign relates to
the third term issue. At the start that
issue was emphasized. New York, it
was urged, was not in the habit Of
bestowing the third term on a gov
ernor. Why make an exception of
Gov. Whitman? The principle was
wrong. No man had ever been elected
three times to the presidency. Public
sentiment had declared against it.
This note has now been softened.
The democratic candidate for governor
is quoted for the following:
"The prevailing opinion is not so
much against the principle of a third
term as it is against comforting that
honor on Whitman because of the
unanimous decision that he does not
deserve it."
When the third term issue was raised
and the principle condemned, the
democratic candidate lacked the in
dorsement of the national administra-
ton. There was curiosity as to whether
he would receive it, and grave doubt
as to whether he could win without it.
He has since received it. His can
didacy has been recommended BY the
three New York members of the cabi-
net, and he himself admitted to an in
terview with the President. The adj
ministration is backing him to the
limit
Moreover, the third term issue re-
specting the presidency looms large.

The Armistice Terms.

A report comes that Marshal Foch's
armistice terms have been received at
Berlin and are now under considera-
ton by the German government. This,
if true, indicates that the allies are
not losing time to put the issue Of sur
render squarely up to the enemy. If
he wants to yield he can do so with
out unnecessary sacrifices of life. But
meanwhile the fighting continues. Al
though there have been no major op-
erations on the west front for several
days, the campaign has not been sus-
pended. The French, British, Belgians
and Americans are in position to re-
new the offensive on large scale at
any moment. In all likelihood if Ber-
lin dallies with the armistice terms
or rejects them the allied answer will
be a general offensive in full power
on the whole front.
Unusually strict censorship restric-
tons are prevailing at Paris, to pre-
vent the emission of news respecting
the allied council meeting at which
this question of an armistice and, it
would. seem, the broader question of
peace terms are being considered.
This, however, does not keep down
speculation on the subject and various
stipulations are being now forecast,
such, for instance, as the immediate
release of all allied prisoners of war.
A British demand to this effect has
been expressed, owing to a recent out
break of indignation at reports that
have come respecting cruel treatment
to prisoners by the Germans.
There is no expectation anywhere
that the armistice terms Will be less
than equivalent to surrender. Presi-
dent Wilson in his latest note to Ger
many made it plain that he would rec
ommend terms that would make it i'm
possible for Germany to renew the
conflict. Whether the stipulations
shall go so far as disarmament by the
enemy or merely a withdrawal beyond
Rhine fortresses, the armistice is to
be of such a nature that at the first
sign of bad faith or reaction on the
part of Germany the allies can ad-
vance into German territory, even as
the German forces swept through Bel
gium in 1914.

The Fight Against Influenza.

The highest praise is due to all those
who have been engaged during the
past four weeks in the fight against
the influenza epidemic in this Dis
trict. The public authorities, confront
ed by conditions Of extreme difficulty,
have been unremitting in their watch
fitness and labors. A fine spirit of
volunteer service has been manifested
by physicians and nurses. The people
have eo-operated most effectively in all
preventive works, submitting prompt
~ and cheerfully to restrictive meas
ures. Motorists have placed their ma
chimes freely at the disposal of the in
huenza fighters. Washington's pres
ent emergence from this most disas-
trous epidemic is due to the energy
and fidelity Of the campaign waged by
officials and citizens alike.

Local People and Civil Service.

Gratifying progress is being made
toward breaking down the arbitrary
barriers erected by unwise and inequi-
tsble legislation against the members
az the capital community to prevent
them from serving the government in
tho departmental service, and prevent
ing the government from awaiting it
self of the services of persons living
close at hand in the discharge of the
necessary duties of the executive or
gxM0tion. First came the waiver of
tho xpportionment of Offices law,
whereby the District has heretofore
been restricted to the negligible frac-
tion Of appointments propo1ioned to
its population. Now comes the waiver
Of the law which restricts appoint
ments to government places to two per-
sons of the same family.
It is true that these waivers are
merely for the emergency created by
the influenza epidemic, and may be
cancelled later, causing a reversion to
tho old conditions. But the fact that
it has been necessary stands as evil
denee of the absurdity and injustice
Of the statutory limitations put upon
the opportunity of the District people
to be Of service to the government,
and there is hope that the emergency
and it, remedies may 30 clearly dem
snstrate the inequality of the old bar

Necessary to Win the WaF."

One can favor sincerely nation wide
votes for women, without believing
that adoption of the federal amend
ment was or is necessary to win the
war.
One can approve broadly the injunc-
ton, politically applied, against eharg-
ing horses while crossing stream.
without believing for an instant that
a democratic House and Senate, in sup
port of a democratic President, are
necessary to win the war or to con-
clude a righteous and enduring peace.
The American people, men and
women, republicans and democrats, in
conjunction with other allied or as
ISOLATED peoples, are winning and will
win this war, and will conclude just
and lasting peace, whether or not po-
litical equity is meanwhile accorded
to American women, and whatever par
tisan labels the legislative representa-
tives of the American people may, as
the result of new elections, happen to
bear.
One can heartily approve the broad.
fine principles underlying President
Wilson's outline of peace of justice,
and can assent generally to specific
conditions of peace laid down by him
without so swearing allegiance to the
President personally and to his words
as to become disloyal and reasonable
if the need is later felt of Qualification
OF some of the terms and if dissent
from them follows this Qualification.
For example, one may not follow
President Wilson in his policy of re-
moving or rendering uniform economic
barriers between nations, even when
that policy has been thoroughly ex-
plaincd and is perfectly understood.
One may not agree with President
Wilson as to the @freedom Of the
seas" which after discussion and ex-
PLANTATION he may be found to advo-
cate.
But such dissents as these and diff
ferences of opinion concerning the de-
tails Of the practical application of
any of the terms are not inconsistent
with the general approval of the Presi-
dents proclamatons, as the broad,
firm basis Of just and safe peace,
which has been expressed informally
both in America and in Europe.
Said the oracular Jack Bunsby:
"The bearings Of this observation
lays in the application on it. That
amt no part of my duty"
The bearings of President Wilson's
fourteen peace-term observations lie
in 'sthe details of their practical ap-
pication"; and the determination of
those vital details is not part of the
Presidents sole duty. but has been re-
ferred by him to the Allied Confer
ence, and, with this government help
fully participating in the councils, is
there developing to the point of final,
