THF BIG FIGHT

Prize-fighting is generally outlawed in the Unit
ed States but there always ways of getting around
the law when the great American public wants to
fight And apparently that same public wants very
much to fight between the two leading gladators,
Dempsey and Tunney. To tell the truth, lot
of us pugilistic pacfis:s wouldn't mind seeing such
scrap-for the experience and education of it, you
know.
Anyway, the big fight is evidently coming off in
September. and il will establish record in many
ways. For size, particularly An audience of 100000
people is expected.
Chicagos conscientious objectors answered
with the argument that it's good business to bring the
fight there. Merchants expect the crowd to spend
$5G00,000. Patrons may spend half that much on
the fight itself, seeing that admission tickets to
from s. to s40-and probably higher, if the spec
ulators get hold Of them in New York style.
One Chicago woman, president Of the Gold Star
Mothers Association protests against using the Sol
diers Field Stadium for "a brutal fight between pro-
fessona fighters and thinks it shames the soldier
dead Her feelings may be appreciated. Yet perhaps
most of those soldier dead if they alive, would
rush joyfuy TO that fight.

Brahma who, to explain the essence

manned, and then said, THAT thou

This vague pantheism merged with
the ancient ansmism in the doctrine
that soul was hidden in everything
and in every man as part of the
world soul; the individual had, SO
to speak, borrowed life, as pass
ing form of the infinite sport; his
separate individuality was only a
delusion-Naya.
If lived virtuously his soul would,
at his death, pass through suture

personality; but If he sinned his
soul would pass into another body,
and suffer through one transmigra-
ton after smother till the law Of
justice (Karma) should be fulfilled
and every sin atoned for.

the soil; and as long as they paid
the tithe their conquerors left them
in peace. There was little slavery
in the village AMI little serfdom;
each family held and bequeathed its
land in common and partook,
through it's head, in the village rule.
Great distances and primitive
transport left more local autonomy
and freedom under ancient despot-
isnls than our narrow world, crossed
and bound with rails and wires and
winged speech, can know again I'M
der the shibboleths of liberty.
But though there was no slavery
there was caste. The white-skinned
handsome conquerors refused to
marry with the almost negroid Ora
vidians; caste meant color; it meant
purity of blood, fidelity to ones an
cestors and to their traditional oc-
fcupations.
The lowest caste was Of the black
and simple Sudras, servants or prop
ertyless peasantry; above them the
Vaisyas, owners of land and other
wealth; above these the Kshatryas,
warriors, and at the pinnacle, the
Brahmans, priests.
It was a civilization, or form of
slavery, not all the world unlike the
partition of classes in Plato's ideal
state.
And to this day the mystery re-
mains how the man of war and the
man of wealth could have been for
so many centuries subject to the
priest.
EV7HO were these omnipotent
|IWI Brahmans? They were, first
III of ALL the only hterate class
among the Hindus and essentially
they are that now.
1t was they who had carried down
by memory, across many genera

their race; they who had transmit

which run to a million words; they
who had put together the Upani-
shads Cor secret conferences) in
which for the first time in history
the problems of metaphysics and
theology were elaborated into a sys-

Long before Parmenides and
Plato these Brahman priests played
with delight the game of philoso-
ply. Gradually, under their hands,
the faith Of the Hindus had devel-
oped from simple animism to the
subtlest theology.
