While the people of America al
ready begin to look forward to the
coming spring, more than a million
Russians, wrapped in a scanty al
lowance Of rags, must still face the
coolest weather of the entire winter.
In Russia the thermometer drops to
its lowest mark in February and in
March. Between now and the first
warm days, death threatens vast
multitude of Russian children and
adults. American Relief workers
throughout the country declare, un-
less clothing is sent to them.
With the early days of 1923 the
clothing shortage has reached men
acing proportions. A single garment
to a person is the rule in Russia,
and even that one garment only too
often consists of rags, or thin -four
sacking, or even of stitched news
paper pages.

Indians In British
DOminiOns Are Prosperous

Bombay. Jan. 1.-The Hon. S.
| Sastri, who has Just returned here
from his world tour OF the British
dominions, has expressed an opti-
| mistic view concerning the future
status of Indian immigrants in parts
or the British Empire outside of In
! dia. Mr.. Sastri was sent last spring
by the government of India to study
political and economic conditions in
the British dominions, with a view
to improving the status of Indian
residents in these countries. He is
now preparing an elaborate report
to be presented to the government.
While not entirely satisfied with
the results of his mission, Mr.. Sastri
believes the status of Indians in the
domlnionS will shortly be greatly
| improved. He found 4 very genuine
sympathy in the dominions he had
visited, which he expects ultimately
to take definite and practical shape
Omlttlng the question OF the fran
chise." Mr.. SaStri says, "Our coun-
trymen are not suffering from any
great hardships, and. from a material
point of view, they are doing very
we'll indeed"
Mr.. Sastri was asked II the color
bar was the chief obstacle in the way
OF Indians attaining full political sta
tIs in the dominions. I'm the first
place. he replied, taking British
Columbia. where the prejudice
against our people is the strongest, l
should say the principal obstacle is
tie desire to maintain the very high
standard of wages and or living gem
orally that now prevails. The second
obstacle is the dsinchnatlon of the
public to discriminate i'm favor of the
Indian against the Japanese and
Chinese. ! started, OUT, like many
others, with the feeling that I should
encounter a great deal of color pre-
judice. But am bound to say that
what stands in our way is mostly the
economic consideration, and the color
bar only to very slight extent"
In reply to a further question Mr..
Sastr said that of the colonies he had
visited. New Zealand was the most
sympathetic in its response. There
Indians enjoyed even the franchise.
In view of your experience in the
colonies, what should be midas flu
ture policy toward the colonies?"
II do not recommend any change of
policy" Mr.. Sastri replied. This is
the first time that direct exchange
of views has been made between the
-dominions and Indians. 1t is too
soon to drop this mernod and try
another"
