began because of the Christian
challenge, because of the teaching
Of equality Of all men in the
Gospel of Christ 1. The Church
extended hope to the untouch-
ables for the first time and large
numbers of them entered the
Christian Church.
AS result reform movements
began among the Hindus. And
then, with the political reawaken-
ing of India, the people began to
look at themselves with the eyes
of Europeans and Americans as a
subject country and to wish to
break away from England. But
to do this, it was necessary to
present a position of solidarity
and to make it possible for these
80 million formerly degraded
persons to tell the English that
they had trust in their own people
and in their ability to rule. Thus.
the upper classes began breaking
down the barriers and approach.
ing the untouchables for the first
time.
"Mahatma Gandhi did more
than any other single person to
abolish the class of untouchables.
Despite his frailness, he conduct
ed a raging campaign across the
length and breadth of India, tell
ing the people that their treat
ment of the untouchables, whom
he called the children of God, was
a crime and the people deserved
to be without their freedom for
another 1000 years because of it.
"Gandhi even went so far as
to adopt a girl from the untouch-
able class and to compel visitors
to his home to eat with her.
Then, finally, the barriers were
broken down, and when India OBJ
tanned its independence it incor-
porated in its new constitution a
provision abolishing untouchabil-
ity. Members of the group may
now go to college and walk in
any street in India, and posts in
government services and places in
Parliament have been reserved
for them.
While their advancement in
education and social development
is not great yet, in some case:
il is quite remarkable. India

HOW INDIA WIPED OUT
CLASS PREJUDICE

midas elimination of class
prejudice and the status of that
achievement as challenge to the
United States to abolish racial
bias were described by Father
Jerome D'Souza, S. j., a U. N.
delegate from India, before an
audience in the Philip G. vroom
School, BaXonne, N. J.
1--WE of India" the speaker said,
shave the right to claim to under
stand the agony involved in solv.
ing any problem of human rela-
tionship. But India will be I'M
compromising on the question of
racial discrimination.
India, an ancient, cultured and
civilized country, became a SUBJ
ject nation and politically back
ward because India did not EN-
brace the concept of mother
hood to which all classes are
equally attached but that unity
was concentrated in the family,
and the racial or blood line was
stressed. That was the meaning
of the caste system.
''Thus in India, social organ
ization and social evolution
stopped at the family because the
religious problem of existence
was not solved through belief
in God such as that held by the
Christians and Jews. 1t is the
Hindu belief that the human soul
is an emanation from God and
that it is born again and again,
even as an animal sometimes, ac-
cording to the merits or dement's
Of its previous life. Finally, after
this almost endless cycle Of birth
and death, the chain is broken
and the soul goes ito Cod and
is absorbed in Him.
Therefore, it was a metaphysi-
cal necessity in India that a man
remain in an inferior caste be-
cause of the supposed dement's
Of his past life. In India it was
impossible to pass from one caste
to another because of this re-
ligious belief.
''The caste to which persons be-
longed was established by their
professions and by their races, but
there We're also in India some 80
out Of 440 million people who
belonged to no caste, who were
outcasts. These were originally
the aboriginal people already liv-
ing in India when the land was
FIRST settled by the Aryan and
other races.
THE caste system made it i'm
possible to absorb these people
and so they were pushed away
from society and eventually they
were made sweepers, scavengers
and graveldiggers or whatever
else might be regarded as among
the most mental positions.
1.-THE untouchables were not
permitted to walk through many
Of the regular streets in India
and were not allowed to enter
The temples and if a Hindu even
touched member of this group
he was believed to have become
r 'luted and had to be given a
ceremonial washing before he
could again enter his own house.
II can state to you positively
that the change in this attitude

.(HUM5 IN QUANTITY;
BIG DAY SATURDAY

Although catch and trap reports
are not yet complete from all dis
tricts in Southeast Alaska, indiea-
lions are that Saturday gave fish
ermen plenty of activity.
According to Clarence Rhode,
Fish and Wildlife Service Alaska
director, some operators reported
that Saturday was their biggest day
of the 1850 season which opened
August Is. Seiners in Seymour
Canal have had exceptionally good
catches.
Rhode said there still is no show
ing of pink salmon, at least in the
northern area, but that chums con-
tinue to show in great quantities,
making UP about 98 percent of the
run.
They are running so preponder-
antly," Rhode said, that, in some
areas, our taggers have had to give
up their work-they were throwing
away too many dog salmon to get
at the pinks."
Due to unusual circumstances OF
the 1850 season, commercial fisher
men have been given an extra three
days for fishing Thursday, Friday
and Saturday of this week.
All areas are closed until am.
Thursday.
