SAYS INDIA NEEDS
HELP FROM OUTSIDE
Lord Weston Declares Suf-
fering Womankind Deters
Country's Progress.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
WILLIAMSBURG, Mass, August ~.
THE lot Of suffering womankind will
long deter India from entering the front
rank of nations" Lord Weston, former
lieutenant governor Of the United
Provinces of India, declared at the In
stitute of Politics today.
Improvement of the position OF
women can come only from within,
he said, speaking before members 6f
the General Conference on India Ma
tionalism. He expressed fear that inn
provements will be slow and bitterly OPP
posed and said constant pressure of
outside help and outside opinion would
be necessary.
The handicaps Of cooperation be-
tween Great Britain and India toward
progress of humanity in India, he said,
lie in four great evils-climate, wide
spread poverty, racial tension and
caste. He termed the caste system the
worst of all evils and said it is one
which only the nation itself can
ameliorate."
Turning to the field of education, he
said:
The leaders of Indian thought have
evinced definite zeal for reform in the
social services. Here also there is an
enormous leeway to make up and much
expert guidance and help will be neces-
sary in the wise handling of all the
national humanitarian services"
Regarding racial tension" mentioned
by Lord Weston, Syud HoSsian, editor
of the New Orient of New York and
representative of the Indian people at
the Near Eastern Peace Conference in
London, in 1920, declared the presence
of the British in India was a con
slant invitation that fostered that kind
of tension" Great Britain's "self-as
sumed role of Gods policeman" he
said, invariably aggravated the stu
alton rather than relieved it."
In speaking of caste and woman's
education, he said India, like every
other country, has its internal social
problems which "her own sons and
daughters must work out. 1t is not
for a handful of foreigners from dis
lance of 1000 miles to come and teach
the fellow countrymen of Gandhi and
Tagore their business regarding do
nestle economy and social welfare"
he said.
Economically, physically, education
ally and morally, he said, "the people
of India have suffered dire. and in
some respects irreparable, national in
jury. All the enlightened and disin-
terested leaders of the people, whether
Hindus or Mohammedans, SikhS, Chris
tians or Parsees, were all agreed that
regime that had proved itself so rapa-
cious and inept must be ended If it
could not be mended."

LLANDUDNO, Wales. August III
The Labor party, the political organiza-
ton which put Ramsay Macdonald in
office as prime minister, has among the
first of the items on its annual confer
ence agenda constitutional amendments
which would change its oficial name
One amendment. put forward by the
extreme left wing, would change the
name to "the Socialist party" Mod
crates, who form the great bulk of the
party's members, however, would take
the official name 1.-The Socialist and
Labor party"
There are indications that this was
the name which will be acceptedSby Q
majority as representing the proper
designation for the marriage Of So
cialism and Labor.
Labor leaders themselves have 30
long used the term Socialist and La
borite INTERCHANGEABLE that the ofacial
party approval seemed a logical conse-
quence. Another amendment would re-
quire all party members when eligible,
to belong to the trade union.

.SEARCHERS PRESS
 FORWARD IN HUNT
Still Hope to Find Trace of Air
 Mail Aviator

Cedar City, Utah, July IS P - Confident they have picked up the trail made by Maurice Graham, air mail pilot, when he left his wrecked plane in the kanarra Mountains last January, searchers today prepared to push deeper into the mountainous country in their quest to learn his fate.
 Major R, N. McDonald, World War associate of Graham, and J. C. Leigh, sherift of Iron County, yes- terdA discovSred what they are con- vinced is the trail taken by the pi- lot.
 Several miles south of the wreck age of the plane they.discovered the remains of a campfire and articles which they believe were carried by Graham, including three revolver cartridges.
 The rumor circulated yesterday that Major Mcdonald had sent a plane to investigate the report that an unidentified man suffering from loss of memory, had been living in a shack near the Boulder Dam site, proved unfounded.
 A check up revealed no plane had been dispatched to the Boulder Dam site on the Colorado River. Major Mcdonald, it was learned, had re- ceived the report of the unidentified recluse some time ago, but had not considered the, clue worth investi- gating.

 The Lutheran church does not want to force it's views upon anyone through the state" he said. Tt feels that the prohibition law expresses the religious sentiment of few churches which consider it their duty to tell others not affiliated with them how they must live.

INDIANS PREFER
 SQUEAkY SHOES
Style Introduced by Prince Who
 Wanted Attention

Calcutta, July Is Pl-Many h. dians from prince to merchant and certain of the Swaraj leaders have gene in for squeaky shoes consider ing that they give them swank.
 The average Indian Coolie goes bare-footed from babyhood. On the other hand the ruling classes all wear shoes and it was a prince of the royal blood who conceived the idea of wearing noisy footgear to attract attention when he went among the laboring natives and their likewise shoeless women in the vari- ous districts of his province.
 Speakers of the Gandhi move ment for self government, in travel ing about the country and appearing before assemblies of natives in the country districts, have found, too, they say, that squeaky shoes have helped them considerably as tue noise not only attracts attention but gives them individuality as well.
 The squeaky shoes are made chief ly by Chinese shoemakers in Cal cutta and Bombay, the squeak being brought about by the loose tacking ot the sole leather so there is cer- tain amount of friction.
