"SIAMESE TROOPS IN FRANCE Firat Gontinigant Gansiets of Aviat ~~ Motor and Ambulahce Corps. Reuter's Agency has received from a well informed Siamese source some - Aptails of the first Siamese contingent, hich arrjved in France a month ago. The contingent consists of units of Siamese ambulance, motor and avia- corps, and is under the command _ot Mgjor General Phya Bkijai Janridh, who was awarded the K.C.M.GT somes months ago when he was head of the - Siamese Military Mission to England. The General, who has since been awaiting in France the arrival of the 'Blamese contingent, was, some twenty 'years ago. in the Belgian army, and was educated in France. The Siamese are peculiarly suited to aviation work, on account of their extraordinary ¥ keen eyesight, their maliness and their daring, The mem- 'bers of the aviation corps who have arrived in France have had good ' training in Siam, which will be com- pleted in France. They wear Khaki uniforms much the same in 'cut as that worn by the British troops. Al- though there been compulsory service in fo in Siam for many years, the troops which are now ar- ' viving all are volunteers. : --re 'Even ice cream can be sweetened with honey. ae ' - Baked beans can be pfepared with pork. | Australia, Canada, or the Union of th Africa; until recently ans, gars and sh Jews were a freely; but Indians, even if they had shed their blood for the empi er classed as prohibited aliens. If he Indian eould not find in the sta- tute book the ground upon which he. was classed as a prohib ibited alien, he learned without difficulty, and with '| no ambiguity, from the local news- papers, that the people of the Do- minions looked upon him as a mem- ber of an inferior race. 0 Migration Within the Empire. "This is an insult to a whole people which stings the pride of every In- dian to the quick; it is a humiliation when no self-respecting people can be expected to tolerate; all classes in India unite in resenting it; the feud- atory princes, the great landowners, the gallantj native officers of our In- dian pe feel the insult as keenly as do the' educated politicians. In- deed, few Englishmen, either in this country or overseas, can be satisfied with the situation. Common decency forbids our saying to the Indians. 'You are welcome allies on the battle- we. t admit you to an with ourselves. If Indians were to rejoin, 'Then what reasons have we to remain. within an empire which exposes ug to this humiliation?' a satisfactory reply would not be al- together easy to find. "As a matter of fact, India did not .at the outbreak of the war, nor does she now, make this reply, though an Englishwoman is attempting to put "Some such words in her mouth; but because of her chivalrous forbearance we are the more bound to find a way out. of an intolerable situation. I do not think this imnossible. Unrestrict- ed migration within the empire is out of the question. The reason for which the oversesa Parliaments have de- cided to prohibit Indian immigration are so strong that no one who has ever examined them can hope to see the policy reversed. Wish to Remain Different. The white inhabitants of the Do- minions are, at present, so few in number that if they once threw open their' ports to the populous East they would be" submerged by a flood of Asiatic immigration, in which their national characteristics would be obliterated. A South African states- man once said to the late Mr. Gok- superior or inferior to the other that South - Africans cannot afford to ad- mit Indians to their country, but be- cause we are different. It is not-un- reasonable that we should wish to remain European, but that is .just what we cannot hope to "do if we permit Indian immigration.' "Surely the aphorism of the South African statesman contains the germ of an alternative policy which India accept without humiliation. We S | pire is fundam le, because the logical development it would bo 8 fusion of the yaces, which a _ nobody Jvishes reach. We wish to avold fusion and each our own characteristics without doing injustice to India.

I believe that these wotild be promoted by Indian immi- I am convinced that the African negro would gain enormously by adsociation with Indiads, especial ly with Indian cultivators and Indian artisans; that he will learn more and to better purpose from them than from the white man. African Races Are Primitive. _ "The races that inhabit East Africa are still surprisingly primitive; they have not evolved for themselves the most rudimentary arts of civilization; they have not adapted to their own use the wheel, the ploughs or the tion of the country their only clothes were" skins, Even the use of iron dates from a comparatively recent period. I was told the name of a Mehief on Kilimanjaro who first intro- duced the use of iron spears, and I gathered that he lived hut five or six generations ago; his people still told with exultatiin how he had conquered far and wide with His new engine of war, 'for before that,' they said, 'we had only spears and swords of wood.' "So backward a people must have their first lessons in civilization made easy; they can learn little from the complicated civilization of the white man, for the white mca attains his ends by mechanical contrivances which are above the negro's compre- hension. A steam plough or an art- esian well may fill the native with astonishment (or fear), but he wilt not pick up from either 'any hint which will be of use to him in his own husbandry. "But the implements of the Indian villager are even to this day remark- able for their simplicity; the African | native could understand what they | were for and how they were used; | what is not less important, these simple tools could be made on the spot by mative fundis (craftsmen) after they had watched an Indian | carpenter of blacksmith at work. I! cannot here elaborate all the advan- tages which I feel sure the East Af- rican native would secure from Indian immigration, but the point I desire here to press is that by making Ger- man Fast Africa an Indian colony can at the. same time settle one o the outstanding. problems of the empire and materially assist the evo- lution of the East African negro." pest -- YES!
