Special Correspondence Every Evening
.4NNewark. Nov. 20.--''G'hristianity is
being presented n the Moslem World
in terms of dunn dun bullets, machine
guns, airplanes and other implements
OF war and the motive back OF il all
is a selfish one on the part OF the
Imperialistic Powers of Europe"
This charge was made by Syud
Hossain. noted India orator and jour
nalist in a lecture in Wolf Hail. Univer-
sity Of Delaware. Saturday night. II
was one of the Artist Series of lectures
and was heard by a large audience
Dean f. Laurence Smith who was to
| introduce the speaker was i'll and his
place was taken by DR.. George II.
/ Ryden of the university faculty. Pre-
vious to the lecture Mr. Hossain was
| entertained at dinner by Dean Wini-
| fred j. Robinson at the Womens Col
| lege.
! At the beginning of his lecture Mr.
| Hossain said the Moslem World com
prises three hundred million people
One-fifth of the human race he said
| is Moslem or Mohammendan II. q

written that the Crusades had left ar
insane hatred between the Christian
and Moslem World and that, unfor-
tunately, was true. There has beer
much written unfavorable to the Mos
Hem world, which helps TO inflame this
feeling and then the rivalry and com.
petition between the Christian anC
Mosiem missionaries keeps up this il
feeling.
The speaker said that history show.
that the present day northern Europ.
owes her civilization TO the Moslem.
as after the collapse of the Greel
government it was the Arabs WHIT
saved civilization.
Mr. Hossain said only 90 TO 25 year.
ago there were a number of FIRE,
states in the Moslem World but tha
one after another OF these Moslen
: states have been victimized into sub
lection by different Great Powers o
Europe until there is really no Moslen
state left that can boast of indepen
dence. This has been done, he said
by means of superior force and mod
ern war equipment. 1t was with ar
tillery. bullets and airplanes that tn
message of Christia nifty has been re
ceived by these millions of peopl,
Ships go there from these Great Pow
ers loaded with Bibles, rum and dur
dun bullets.
The speaker next discussed the mo
tive behind the Powers in Europe a
TO their interest in the Moslem Worl
| nd Guk
for domination for personal profit. II
said some European Power makes II
its mind that it wants some particula
territory in the non-European Worl
for its rubber, it's oil or some othe
reason. Some excuse he said is the
created or invented to go In and TAX
control of that territory. This tn
speaker asserted has been atteste
time after time.
Mr.. Hossain spoke of the war be
tween Greece and Turkey and sal
that another war with the Gres
Powers involved was only narrowI
averted and that the danger had M
entirely passed yet. He commented o
England backing Greece and Franc
backing the Turks This was becaus
he said France did not want Englan
| with her large feet to get too stron
| a hold on that section of the world
| Mr.. Hossain charged that the Britis
have been in military control at Cor

| have hindered final peace being mac
| with Turkey as they want to kee
l their troops there. He said that pr,
