A record Of which the Federal Board

been established by placing in train

"India's mission is spiritual. She will
give a message to the world-a great
one-before many years." Mr.. Wad1a
promised. "Out of the east have come
all religions. for while the western
world makes war and conquest the
east meditates. Many of you Ameri-
cans look to us for religion. Some of
YOU practice our vicious cults. Some
of YOU come to US for psychic knowl-
edge. That is not religion. 1t is not
of essential truth. 1t is bad"
Mr. Wadia has been associated for
MANY years with Mrs. Annie Besant.
head of the theosophical movement in
England, America and India. Before
he returns home he will tour the
United States delivering a series of
lectures under the auspices of the
American Philosophical Society. Thus
the ingenious student Of present-day
industrial problems, the intensely
practical leader of rising labor
movement in a nation of 100000. 900
people, is at the same time profound
student and exponent of the most abb
struse religious philosophy the world
knows. His personality is in sharp
contrast to the personalities of his
western world colleagues in the in
ternational labor conference assembly
at the Pan-American building.

Pay From SIS to $40 Month.

I'm the matter of wages the law is

from SIS to $40 a month. Thus the

cheaply. miserabIy. hdpelessly- He is
always in debt and this circumstance
has resulted in widespread virtual

germ of upheaval?"
The people of America are grouping
for spiritual light. Mr.. Wadia believes.
They practice a wide variety of re-
ligions and cults, seeking a way to
give voice to their spiritual aspira-
tions to satisfy the needs of their
souls. That they have great me-
chanical genius is obvious. but they
are not materialists in the sense or
degree Europeans are. for all the
nhiIosophical and esthetic develop
ment of the older civilization.
Americans will create their own
