INDIA NOT READY FOR HOME RULE S0 Declares Rev. Dr. Ewing, American Resident of Punjab Lahore, India, matters have prominence Jan. taken 30.—Political on / an added 0¥ late, largely, according to the general ex- pression of opinion, to the fact that he war has shown the people of this country their importance to the rest in India due of the empire, thereby arousing their aspirations for progress. Naturally the subject of ultimate home-rule occupies a large place in the thoughts of the Indian politician, a few of the so-called ultra-radicals even advocat- ing the immediate granting of some form of self-government. The questions of what the British government ought to do and intends 1o do towards bestowing further po- Jitical powers on the Indian, and of how much immediate advance the Indian himself is capable of mak- ing, are being generally and eagerly discussed. A correspondent of The Associated Pre: has diecussed these Questions with scores of prominent Europeans and Indians during the past few months. Some extremely radical views were encountered, but the majority of those who expressed an opinion met on certain common grounds which are well summarized in an interview with the Rev. Dr. J. C. R. Ewing, the well known Ameri- can educator, who for the past seven vears has occupied the important post of vice chancellor, or president of the Univer: of Punjab. Dr. Ewing is the only American who has ever been accorded so high an honor in India as was bestowed upon him when he was made head of this university to 4 direct the activities of twenty-seven affiliated colleges in the province, with their student population of some 12,000. As a mark of appreciation for his services to this country he was decorated by the king in 1914, being made Companion of the Indian empire. Fe has made a deep study of political ~questions in India and . not infrequently has been consulted by government officials on delicate matters of policy. ¥Home Rule Tnevitable. Dr. Ewing expressed the belief that home ruie for India was inevitable, but declared that the country was not prepared for it at the moment and would not be ready for this impor- tant step for many years to come. , ““When the British government at thatino of ‘Lord Macaulay introduced Western education jnto India it opened the door for sdif-government,” sald’ the ‘doctor. “‘Such a step, in- volving the teaching of democratic ideals. could have no other result. It whs ‘the trossing of the Rubicon, and tfiere is no turning back. To do the ~Pritish ' government justice, I believe that ‘they made this move with the fill ‘knowledge of what the outcome must be, and that theyv have always had in mind the ultimate granting of home rufe to the people of Hindus- tan. “There | are, of course, various There mare Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and for years it was sup- “posed to be incurable.

The great bulk of the people of India are il- literate, something like 94 per cent. according to the latest statistics, among the other six per cent. there are many highly educated and bril- liant men who could be called upon to play their part in government. Home rule can never become an ac- complished fact until a trained body of Indians has been raised up. And but | employes shades of opinion among both Eu-|in order to achieve this, one" of the most important steps will be the opening up of the civil service to a still greater extent to the educated Indian. Not only must this be done but Thdian and British government must be placed on the same footing and must learn to work in close co-operation. “Foreigners in considering home rule for India often make the mis- take of looking upon India as a na- tion. As a matter of fact, Hindustan represents many races and many PERSONALS. z()l‘nell, 7 Longley St., says Father John's and w. J. Marlboro, Mass., Medicine keeps her family well strong.

Ignorant of Politics. “Moreaver, the average Indian of the so-called illiterate class knows nothing of politics and takes no in- terest in problems of _government. {He is mainly concerned with his own little personal matters, and so long as conditions of government favor him in the pursuit of his affairs it makes small difference to him what that government is or what shape it takes. “The tirely foreign For endless centuries, ideas of democracy are en- to the bulk of India. until the as- sunmption of British rule, the people were governed as a conquered race, | and so thoroughly has the idea of subjection been instilled that it wil'l, be exceedingly hard for them to break away from the belief that they can have no voice in governing them- selves. But all this is good to change gradually with the spread of general education. ““One great stumbling block in the way of democracy is the fact that the Indian never has learned to bow to the will of the majority. This eay be seen wherever bodies of Indians come together for the discussion of matters of mutual interest. Opinion is divided along partisan lines, fam- ily, raclal and religious ties playving an important part in the division. The fact that the majority decide that certain things are for the best means nothing to the minority, and a split of the body into two or more factions is almost inevitable. This characteristic is something that must be overcome before any success can be achieved in the matter of popular government. Religious Differcnces. “There are numerous other fea- tures which present obstacles to the home rule advocates. We have two great religious bodies—the Hindus and Mohammedans—whose interests at present are largely at. variance Wwith each other. Some Indian poli- ticians will tell you the claim that Hindus and Mohammedans cannot work in harmony is a pure fallac; but to one who has spent many years in India and has made a deep study of these questions, it seems an almost self-evident fact that the chasm to be bridged between these two Rodies is wide and deep. Ultimately, through a process of education, Hindus and Mo- hammedans will be drawn together into cldke enough political bonds so that they can.work in unison for the common good. We have seen simi- lar conditions in the past history, of many countries, -and while the ques- tion of religion at the moment is a most important one, vet I do not feel that it is a permanent barrier in the way of political progress for India. “Despite all the drawbacks to home rule, I have great faith in the ca- ost Etfective Refilédy Mother Had Ever Us Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin Relieves Baby When Other Medicines Failed.
