Future War Will

London, Dec. 6.-The dread pic
ture OF world war in which the
yellow races OF the east will strive
for domination with the white
people of the west was painted by
the Bishop OF Chelmsford recently
In sermon to the English church
conference at Birmingham.
F "Do you know" he asked, that
the whole of the Christian COM
munity in England, the church
and nonconformist bodies togeth-
er, gave in year toward spiritual
work what was less than would
keep the British army in the field
for six hours.
This country last year" he
added, spent $1,S0o,0oO,000 in
drink, more than $400,000,00o in
tobacco and only $12,000,000 on
foreign missions.

going to be the result God alone
knows.

schools and universities. One hun
dred years ago, after the industrial
revolution, Europe progressed to a
great extent commercially. India,
on the other hand, failed to double
her industries. She was not en-
couraged under British rule to do
so.
"There was little or no machin-
cry in Europe at that time; they
got the richest and finest quality
of goods from my country, which
always had had her own arts and
architecture.
: :India was the warehouse of the
east.
CAT the present time there are
some mills in Bombay. There are
gold, silver and iron mines. And
If India were to go ahead, unham-
pered, she could develop enormous
resources. During the war one of
our iron works, the Tata Company,
helped considerably by sending
rails into Mesopotamia and Egypt.
1.-THE boycott on English goods
is no joke. 1t is a serious situa-
ton"
Denies Women Against Boycott.
Regarding the boycott against
British goods in India, and the
rumor that women are upsetting
the boycott by refusing to wear
native products, Mr.. Pavry en-
phatically denied its possibility.
Women of India stand by their
men, he declared. "They never
would betray the aims and plans of
their partners. Our problems are
vital right now. But I believe in
social, not political, uplift in In
dia. / would Like to see estab-
lished schools where our own YER
naculars could be used and re-
tanned. All these tongues have
their roots in Sanscrit, though
Hindustani is the common Ian
guage.
"The idea that these thirty ma
tive vernaculars keep the people
apart is wrong. All are able to
speak this one common language.
But castles do keep people
alienated from each other. And
the Hindus have so many castles.
The Parsees and the Mohamme-
dams have none. The Brahmin
caste, among the Hindus holds
sway over many depressed peo-
pies and they constitute great
menace to Indian political institu-
tions. They have no sympathy
for their own people and do not
regard them as equals, hence they
cannot do much real good.
Il want to break down caste.
Cup until lately the Hindus and
the Mohammedans were united,
but after political troubles and the
massacres at 9Amritsar, they have
been thrown apart.

Dual Citizenship
Hawaiian Problem

Honolulu, 7. H., Dec. 6.-An i'm
portant factor in the Japanese
problem as encountered in Hawaii
is that of dual citizenship. This
status is acquired by any island
born Japanese, who, under the
laws of our country is an Ameri-
can citizen, having been born on
American soil, but who is also a
Japanese citizen under the laws
of Japan, which holds any child
of Japanese parents to be Japan
ese citizen.
Under these circumstances a
grave doubt exists as to which
country would claim the allegi-
ance of the citizen in the event of
war between the two countries. So
strong has the opposition on the
part of Americans become to this
system that many island-born jap
anese have voluntarily sought and
obtained expatriation, according
to Consul General Yada, represent
ing the japanese government in
Honolulu. Mr.. Yada further
states that no opposition to this
movement is offered on the part OF
the home government at Toxic.
