Marlen Pew, well known editor, was so moved by his impressions that he wrote in verse a ter- rific indictment of a social system that would permit of such wholesale want and misery as we witnessed in this great port of India. Mr. Pew wrote in part: “To night a sight has seered my eyes, A sight that all God's love denies; On Bombay's reeking pavement stones, Sheeted bundles of skin and bones, | Ten thousand homeless wretches lie— ‘Ten thousand such as you and I— PR Dragging their rags, staring in fright, Showing their wounds, wailing their plight, Scratching their sores, skeleton palms Wildly outstretched imploring alms.” Gateway of India, to be sure, bringing to the world | all of the products of a rich and varied land of many resources, all through a man-made harbor that has wecome one of the world’s greatest ports, Bombay was | originally a group of seven islands on the pirate coast of East India; the Portuguese were the first owners, and were given as a bride's dowry when Catherine Braganza married Charles IT of England in 1661. The King found the place a white elephant, and in 1668 gave it to the East India company at an annual rental of ten pounds. Today it is the second city of India. It is a polyglot metropolis, of many races and many creeds, and wise indeed is the foreigner who can tell one tribe or race from another. India has a caste system, which is at once perhaps the salvation and curse of the country. The caste system started whem some of the Aryan groups years ago closed their ranks to further admix- ture of native blood. A principle of race superiority was thus established and castes and sub castes were formed, which has ‘been followed down through the generations. A member of one caste may not marry Qr have social intercourse with the member of another caste, and today we are told that there literally are four thousand castes and subdivisions of caste.
