The World and All

SaroJini Naidu Is a woman Of considerable magnet
ism. She has labored long in India as an associate or
Mahatma Ghandi for the betterment Of her own peo-
pie. She i in America on a lecture tour. and had a
very interesting talk with her recently.
She dresses picturesquely in the costume Of her
country, and while she talked to ne she had her feet
tucked up under her as she sat in an American over
stuffed chair at the Algonquin hotel, New York.
! was anxious to learn something Of an inteIligen.
Indians idea Of the future Of India. Mrs. Naidu was
not averse 70 talking about this, but il was eviden.
that she was accustomed to having Americans Aux
questions about child marriage in India, and she would
revert to this subject frequently.
Since Katherine Mayo published her book. Mother
India Americans have talked much about the child
marriages. Mrs. Naidu says the conception or Indian
life Americans have received from the Mayo book ara
all wrong. very much exaggerated. and altogether
unjust.
III y true that in India girls marry young" shl
says, but Americans are likely 70 forget that India is
q tropical country, and girls mature there at least two
years earlier than in this climate. And III some Of the
American states your girls are allowed to marry AZ

| told the lecturer that | thought this an error. and
hoped she would verify her information before using
il publicly. Since the conversation | have consulted
the World Almanac and found that the lowest legal
age AZ which girls may marry in any Of the states IVY
twelve. Which indicates that Indians may make errors
i1 talking about America. even rs Americans err iu
talking and writing about India. II IL 80 easy To make
mistakes. and such d bother 70 bc sure Of ones facts.
Mrs. Naidu speaks optimistically and cnthusiastical-
IN Of India's future. She feels sure that India faces
a period of self realization and expansion.
In what direction will India cxpand?r 7 asked.
Africa furnishes the most available territory. In
dams long MO went t. South Africa and their early
labors made the country ft FOR white srttlcmcnt. But
there is much trouble with British bars against Indian
immigration"
Mrs. Naidu appeal for fair consideration n India
M Americans. Our customs and religion and cultura
