10th Century
Club Hears Talk
By DR.. Williams
No Snap Solution
To Situation, Expert
On Far East Says
Bp Frances Lide.

y
Whatever personal feelings Amer
leans have about India, they will be
traitors to the whole cause of hui
manity if they let these feelings in
terfere with our open and frank
relations with our British allies, DIR
Maynard Owen williams declared
yesterday.
And I believe we are serving our
Intelligence very badly when we
think there is a snap solution to the
Indian situation" he added.
The speaker, who is chief of the
foreign editorial staff of the Ma
tional Geographic Magazine, adj
dressed the monthly meeting of the
Twentieth Century Club, devoting
most of his address to geographical
and historical background.
Touching on the current picture,
however. he explained he doesn't
worship the English" and he de-
nounced the type of imperialism he
had seen in Hong Kong and Singa-
pore.
But I'm not betting my bottom
dollar on British pig-headed i'm
perialism," he declared. I'm Just
betting on the great ajority of the
British as you and I know them
to be"
Citing the course of events in the
Far East since Pearl Harbor, DR..
Williams called the cordial rela-
tons between the American and the
Filipinos at the time the Japs
struck the one bright light"
MuC.l of this he attributed to this
countrys belief in the power of
education. when we went into the
Philippines" he said. I'VE splashed
education high, wide and hand
some"
Asked about the caste system in
India. DR.. Williams said that modern
life Is more or less solving this
problem.
AS American manufactured buses
fill the road of India, communities
are getting in touch with modern
life, he pointed out They read
newspapers, he said, land they
have the same funnies that we do.
In answer to other questions, DR.
Williams expressed the opinion that
the possibilities of amicable rela
tlons between the various Indian
groups is not out of the question.
When it comes to the Hindu
dominating the Moslem. the Moslem
won't have any of it he declared
But this problem can be solved if
they are kept friendly.
When Moslem is friendly with
Hindu they are just like us. And
when a Moslem hates Hindu thev
are just like u.s.
The speaker was presented by
Mrs. Cloyd Heck Marvin. who pre-
sided at the meeting held at the
YWCA. New members voted into
the club were Mrs. RAYMOND H
Powell and Mrs. James Graham.
Mrs. Edgar B. Merritt, chairman of
the civics education section. an
nounced that pantry party" for
the benefit of the Stage Door Cam
teen would be given at the February
meeting.
