Minister Filipowicz
Is Native Of Warsaw.
M. Filipowicz, the fourth Minister
from Poland to the Republic Of the
West, is the first native Of the ancient
capital Of the kingdom, Warsaw. The
first two ENJOYS, Prince Lubormiski and
DR.. Ladislas Wroblewski, were both
from what was formerly Austrian Po-
land, and the recent retiring envoy,
M. Ciechanowski, was born In London
Of exiled Polsih parents. Like the
President Of the United States, M.
Filipowicz was trained to be mining
engineer, but was turned from this avo-
cation by the necessities Of the World
War. He was born In 1879 and after
studying in the schools Of Warsaw, he
made his higher studies in the Mining
Engineering College at Dabrowa, then
Russian Poland. and he later took a
degree in political science In London.
From his student days he has been a
leader In social and political work. He
Joined the legions OF Marshal Pilsudski
In 1915 and was In the military service
for two years.
When Polish freedom was assured M.
Filipowicz at once entered the diplo-
matte service and in 1917, soon after
the republic was organized, he was
named assistant diplomatic agent In
Vienna. He was the following year APP
pointed undersecretary OF state in War;
saw and accompanied the Polish dele
CATION to the peace conference In Paris.
Almost every sort Of adventure has
fallen to the lot of this diplomat, who
may be named among the founders Of
the Polish Republic. In 1919 he ac-
cepted q mission Of great economic inn
portance in the Southern Caucasus and
had scarcely reached his destination
when he was imprisoned by the Soviet
authorities and deported.
Served His Country,
Two Years In Paris.
4 He spent two years as counselor OF
legation In Paris and then, not daunted
by his previous treatment by the Soviet
Government. he presented his papers as
minister to Moscow, and had notably
successful term there.
Since 1927 M. Filipowicz has been in
Brussels, and King Albert. In bidding
him farewell, beloved onshim the grand
Gordon Of the Order OF Leopold. M.
and Mime. Filipowicz have been popular
in Brussels. It was because OF Nine.
Filipowicz's many social engagements
there and the fact that the Minister
has so much and such important BUSH
ness which win keep him in Europe
during the next six months, that she
decided to defer her coming to WASH
ington. Both plan to spend part OF the
late Summer in the famous spa OF
Czechoslovakia, Carlsbad, q custom
which they have followed for many
years. Nine. Filipowicz, who has great
social and intellectual charm, was, be-
fore her marriage In 1913, Mile. Wanda
Krahelska of Warsaw, and there Is one
son, Michael, who Is just IA and is pur-
suing his preparatory studies In the
Polish capital.

It was probably inevitable that the
subject of Mother India" should be
preached. So when William Philip
Simms put the question we all felt
somewhat relieved. Tagore did not
finch at the topic which has caused
so much bitter controversy and so much
deep feeling. He did not spare his de-
nunciation of the book as unjust, as
an unfair misrepresentation of India,
and as a grossly objectionable mis-
statement of his own views and beliefs.
The phenomenon of the enormous
circulation of this book, he said, is a
sad one to contemplate.
"I feel sorry for the people who have
such debased minds and such unwhole-
some thoughts as to seek and enjoy a
work of this character. India has not
been harmed by 1t as much as have
those who have read It,"
There was much more talk. It
touched upon personalities, upon prin-
ciples, upon religion, politics and eco
Monies. Tagore was ready for every
question. He evaded none. He gave
no sign Of fatigue, but at the end Of
the conference seemed good for another
hour But it was growing late, and the
nervous f1dgeting of the fingers gave
a sign of agitation over the questions
that had brought forth some deep ex-
pressions of feeling. So it was an act
of considerable kindness on the part of

assemble in one of the smaller dining
rooms to meet the Indian sage. There
was no suggestion of restriction regard
ing the interview" which was to be a
collective one.
Some of us were wondering how we
should address him. He was knighted
by King George of England in 1915.
This would make "Sir Rabindranath'
the correct form. But several years
ago. in his indignation at the shooting
of a number of Hindoos by British
troops at Amritsar, he renounced his
title So we were given to understand
that CDR. Tagore" Is the accepted and
correct style of address.
Tagore's manner at the reception he
accorded to us was simple and dignt-
fed. He shook each by the hand upon
introduction. He then seated himself
and waited Mr.. Johns briefly thanked
him for the courtesy of the meeting,
and said that we should like to hear
from him about the conditions In his
country.
"That is a very large subject" was
the reply. eff you will ask specific
questions I will be glad to answer"

the facility with which misunderstand-
ing and friction are engendered among
the people, the utter inadeQuacy Of the
educational processes to reach the mil
lions, the failure of the leaders to find
a formula of national spirit and ex-
preston that is not mere ritual of
words-these and other factors appear
to make the prospect gloomy one.
"Oh, yes" he said, when asked re-
garding the nationalist independence
movement, they have passed resolu-
ton in Parliament declaring for indie
pendence. But what of It? It means
nothing. They might just as well pass
resolution declaring war on England
and providing for the conquest Of that
country"
Self Government Needed.
What India needs, said Tagore, is
that the greatest minds of the land
shall get together and find a cure for
the evils that afflict her. to prepare the
ground for a substantial structure of
self government But there is no pros
pect Of such work. Ghandi has one
formula, but it is not particularly eff
fective. Nor does it arouse the interest
of the mass of the people Others are
striving in their own way, but they can
not overcome the prejudices and affilia-
lions of large groups.

Next Monday Tagore will be so years
of age. He bears those years wonder
fully well. He walks slowly, but 1t is
the slowness of dignity rather than
feebleness. He has come to table regu-
larly throughout the voyage, and, so
far as have been able to observe, has
partaken with good appetite of the pro-
visions set before him.
At Honolulu Tagore went ashore,
being greeted by large delegation, and

English and japanese BuddhiStS He
denied himself to interviewers, some OF
whom were anxious to learn what he
had to say about the reasons for his
sudden departure from the United
States, which had been attributed to
his diSpleasure at the customs examina-
ton. On board the Taiyo at San Fran
cisco he had likewise denied himself to
the press. Consequently the members
of our party had respected his desire
to be let alone and had made no at

please tell us what you think of
Western music?" asked Francis Regal
of Springfield. himself musical critic
and aware of Tagore's deep interest in
music and his creation Of some delight

a charming crinkling of the lines of his
usually placid face.
IT have earnestly tried to appreciate
Western music, but I must say that,
although / understand what 1t is all
about, cannot fully enjoy 1t. re-
member that when went to England,
a lad of II, in 1878, Carlotta Neillsen, q
Swedish, vocalist, was quite the rage in
London, and went to hear her. She
sang, with other selections, one called
The Nightingale" In which she imi-
tated that bird. And wondered then,
as now, why q human being should, in
appreciation of the song of birds, try to
mimic them. It seemed rather funny to
me. I have not yet quite got to the
point of approaching Western music"
And Chinese rnusic?" suggested Mr..
REGAL.
Tagore laughed.

indeed, not so well"

not made for progress, but rather been
marked by a retrogreSsion.
"India's civilization has been dis
located" he said, in effect, by the
economic changes that have taken
place since the advent Of the Western
influences. The village has been choked
by the town. The people, who formerly
lived clean, pure, wholesome lives in the
villages, where they found all that was
necessary for their comfort and their
development, have been drawn into the
greater organism"
Later in the interview, Tagore am
plified the thought of the change in
economic conditions when reminded
that the drift from small to large COM
munities was the order in most coun-
tries. and particularly in the United
States.
Progress Cannibalistic.
Progress" he said, els cannibalistic
It devours its own body. 1t feeds upon
itself. India has suffered severely from
this progress. 1t is unhappily the ma
ture of things"
Whether consciously or not, Tagore
painted a picture of a rather hopeless
condition in India. The great mass of
the people, the division of that mass
into innumerable sectS and cults, the
lack of a common understanding, the
lack, indeed, of a common language,

The poets voice is soft and pleasant
and his English enunciation is perfect
There is just the slightest thickening of
some of the labialS-it @can hardly
be called lisp-to indicate that knowl-
edge of the tongue is not native, but
has been acquired. He seldom raises
his voice, which is musically pitched
He never hesitates for a word. Occa-
sionally he uses colloquial phrase, as
for example when he said, regarding
some of the questions confronting the
people of India, those are problems
that we must tackle"
Save for slight motion of the fin
gers. sometimes twisting a fold of his
robe as he speaks, Tagore talks ahead
with perfect serenity Once or twice
in the course of the discussion, which
lasted for nearly an hour and a half,
he became quite animated-it would
not be fair to say excited-and his face
was drawn into an expression OF the
keenest feeling.
Lack of Education.
We first, through the 'mediumship of
Francis Clarke of Atlanta, got the in
terview going along the lines of educa-
ton in India, a subject in which Tagora
is deeply interested he having a school
in the neighborhood Of Calcutta at
which he is seeking to hold aloft the
torch of enlightenment for his people.
He spoke in terms of sadness regard
ing the lack of governmental aid for
education for the masses of the people.
The implication was rather explicit that
the British administration in India has

regarding the Mother India" affair
when he arose and thanked the Hindoo
sage for his kindness and for the en-
lightenment which he had shed upon
the issues and conditions affecting his
people.
