BRITISH BANK RATE
REDUCTION FORECAST
Decrease Would Relieve Credit
Strain on Business
in England.

NEW YORK, January 1o.-Traders
IN STOCKS who had been depending on a
reduction yesterday in the Bank of
England rediscount rate to Az ner cent
10 bolster up their commitments were
disappointed when the cables from Lon
don brought word before the opening of
Inc market that the governors of the
English institution had decided to make
no change, although from every quarter
on wednesday there were positive pre-
be lowered
This action seemed to be one of ex-
ped1ency rather than a result of anv
new developments in the London money
market. As matter of fact, the Bank
OF England statement made a great
gain over that of last week in Showing
an increase in gold of more than SIS
100000 and reserve ratio of So per
cent, compared with less than % per
cent the week previous. London is as
anxious as New York to establish her
money market on an easy basis, not
only to benefit domestic trade, but to
improve the market for new offerings
OF foreign securities out of which Eng
land usually gets some reciprocal values
In the way of exports of British manu-
featured products.
The fact that sterling exchange has
been declining sharply of late and has
now moved so far away from the gold
point as to prohibit further exports
from the United States, and thereby
bring temporary check to the upbuild-
ing OF the Bank of England gold hold
ings, may have had something to do
with the days decision on the bank
rate, which is still out of line with Lon
don open market rates. All foreign
exchanges have been conspicuously
weak until today, when there was some
rally. Compared with the high level
established toward the end of Deem
Der, there is now decidedly weak as
pect not only to exchange on London
but in the rates of Dutch, Swiss, Ger
man, French and Scandinavian ex-
changes.
The collapse in Spanish exchange
has been one of the notable features of
the international money market during
the past week. Although today pesetas
were higher in New York, they touched
a new low record in London. Spanish
since 1898. It's quotation has been af-
fected by the political disturbances in
Spain, but bears a relation to the finan-
cial operations growing out of the re-
cent loan made by the government, and
particularly as this affects the peseta
and the pound sterling.
Spain has come into prominence the
last few days along with China, India
and Mexico as country whose political
and financial conditions are both in
disorder, with the one having marked
bearing on the other.

DELHI. Aug. 2O.-A screaming
Hindu mother frantically was Trying
to save her infant child.
Her child was drowning at the
bottom OF well.
From a nearby field came running
a Hindu man to attempt to save
the child.
But the mother motioned him
away in horror and let her child
drown.
The mother was a high-caste Hin
du. but the man was Hindu OF the
lowest caste-an "untouchable."
His shadow falling across the
child would defile and pollute 1t.
The mother preferred death for
her.
That is a story often told in India
10 illustrate graphically the vast
gulf between the upper caste HinduS
and the pitiable human beings
known as "untouchables.'
100000 Are "Untouohable"
There are some 100000 "un-
touchsbles" in India. They consti-
tute one Of the great obstacles to
creation of a sense of nationalism
among Indians which is the aim of
the Swarajists. and an immense
problem for the government OF
India.
This is only one factor of the
unbelievably complex system OF
caste and religion in India.
Caste has been called the founda-
ton of the social fabric of Hinduism.
There are some 1900 known castles
and minute subdivisions of castles.
At the top is the Brahmin caste
which claims a monopoly of the
priesthood and possesses a virtual
monopoly of higher education, gov
eminent officers and places of au-
thority.
At Bottom Of Scale
At the bottom of the scale is the
''untouchable."
The "untouchable" can no more
become a Brahmin than an animal
can become a human being.
A Hindu is born into the caste Of
his parents. Escape from the caste
and entrance into another caste is
nearly impossible. And marriage
into another caste is prohibited or
severely punished.
Except a few hundred thousand,
the "untouchables' are wholly il
literate.
Although they are Hindus by re-
ligion they are forbidden entry into
Hindu temples. Their children are
not permitted to attend schools with
other Hindus.
"Untouchables" are forced to labor
at the most mental tasks and voca-
tons considered degrading, such as
scayenging and leather work.
Use Different Wells
They are not permitted to utilize
the same wells as other castles. and
draw water farther down the rivers
from other castles to prevent pollu-
ton of the river.
In towns they are usually segre-
gated in separate quarters.
Under the direction of Mahatma
Gandhi, the congress of swaraj
party Is conducting a campaign de-
signed to break down rigid barriers
of caste and create a sense of In
dian nationaliSm.
Gandhi made the abolition of
''untouchability' one of the prin-
cipal points of his program.
