NDIA'S FUTURE

When kipling made his famous re-
mark that East is East and West is West
with the interesting conclusion that they
would never shake hands or smoke the
pipe of peace together. he was speaking
with prophetic wisdom that has found
its proof in the situation that exists in
India today
India and Great Britain staged meet
ing, entirely at the suggestion of Great
Britain, great many years ago. India
hadn't issued an invitation to an at-home
and she let Great Britain understand
that she wasn't receiving. Nevertheless,
India accepted the presents that her Wis.
itor brought.
The courts which established justice
for even the lowliest: the food that was
rushed into the country when starva-
tion's gray ghost lowered over the peas
ant villages; the canals that aided irri-
cation of former arid lands; the rail
roads which established intercommuni-
cation these were acceptable
Then the old Kipling prophecy came
into full play again. India wanted to be
left alone, and she is doing her best to
accomplish her purpose. Gandhi, who
leads the Indian rebellion, contends that
his people should completely divorce
themselves from the western civiliza-
tlon. Missionaries, child widows. Mos
lens. prayer rugs, specialized, individ-
uallzed labor such things, he be-
lleveS, will never mix.
India recognizes the gifts which Great
Britain brought her. She does not over
look them. But she believes that she
could manage better alone.
She insists that the total home rule
and independence which she Graves,
would bring about restoration of the
days when she grew her own food and
accomplished her labor in her homes and
village shops.
True to that human nature which is
the same the world over although
the East is East and West is West
India has forgotten the pestience and
hunger of the days before Great Britain
came. She believes that she used to live
in Golden Age. Just what would hap
pen If she were left alone would be an
interesting experiment.
Would India discover that when the
old order has given place to the new it
would she slip back to the former era
since backward progress is always easier
than forward? And would she be hap
pier?
These are things which we do not
know. The India-Great Britain contro-
versy presents an interesting study for
the rest of the world which watches a
wizened brown-skinned old man lead his
followers on backward crusade
or maybe a forward one for them.
The basis of the trouble very probably
is found in neither country. Kipling ex-
planned it. East is East and West is
West and never the twain shall meet"

A NEW AGE OF BELIEF

The present age is an age Of skepti
cism.
A glance at any modern magazine,
study of any religious publication, sur
vey of the weekly output of sermons in
any city. will convince you Of that. The
average writer or preacher seems to take
it for granted that unbelief is more firm
ly entrenched today than ever before.
The skeptic is having his hey-day.
But things move in cycles. and no great
period of doubt-for there have been
others, in the history of the world-has
ever lasted for long. To discern an age
of faith lying beyond the present age of
skepticism may seem a job for a man
with uncommonly good eyes; yet there
are those who do discern it, and who are
confident that its advent is not so very
far off.
There is. for instance, Salvador de Ma
dariaga, one of the most thoughtful, in
telligent Europeans alive today.
Writing for the New York Herald, ,Tri-
bune Senor de Madariaga expresses the
belief that the western world is about to
''re-discover God'-to emerge from its
era of weary disbelief into an era of faith
and wonder, which are the hallmarks Of
all devotion.
His reasons for advancing this propos-
ition are interesting.
A few decades ago science suddenly
expanded the scope of its operations. 1t
upset many old beliefs, dug up many new
facts and theories about the world.
caused many men to look doubtfully at
dogmas that. had gone unquestiOned for
centuries and raised that peculiar, fas-
cinating, terrifying spector of mechan-
ical, soulless universe.
This. as much as anything, is back of
modern skepticism. But now, says Sen
or de Madariaga science is taking new
tack. 1t is beginning to realize that 1t
has merely scratched the surface OF
knowledge. A generation ago science
believed that it would only be matter
of time before all of the secrets of ere
alton We're laid bare; now it is begin
ming to admit there are many things that
it will never know. 1t is. in fact, begin
ming to see that mans finite capacity for
understanding makes it inevitable that
the greater part Of the universe about
him will always be a mystery to him.
So, says this writer:
Science is the theology of the west
erner; the way, the method toward
God. Science leads to the conclusion
that the Notwithstanding matter can
only be explained in terms of intelligent
energy. The time is therefore at hand
when the westerner will see God with the
only eyes he possesses for spiritual real
ities-the eyes of the intellect"
The world, in other words, is not the
asily-understood place some cock-sure
Investigators have thought. The chemist
and the physicist are daily proving that
it is filled with mystery and wonder Is
it not possible, then-even probable
that we are on the verge of great quick
ening and awakening, in which the old

the initiated From 1906 to 1914 Great Britain was
carrying on underground chickering's with Belgium.
She desired to win consent of the latter to the
landing of British troops in Belgium in event Of

officers rode Belgium repeatedly to lay out the
plan of war In Belgian territory.
Nor were the French without their plans for meet
ing Germany on Belgian soil. French spies and army
officers continually operating in Belgium. The
Belgian king complained of this shortly before the war;
Early in 1914 he expressed himself as more fearful
of French invasion than of German The French
plans for advance through Belgium were drawn up
definitely. They were abandoned only because Of the
bad effect which it feared such action might have
on the British populace.
All this has since long been known to historians.
