Thursday, December 11, 1930 Dear W: Imagine looking out of your winâ€" dow and seeing a green parrot on a wire! or a Magenta turbaned Hindu moving majestically across. a wide field. We are riding in luxury across the| great plains of India, Darkened glass in our windows, to break the glare, three electric fans in each comâ€". partment, . wicker . chairs and table, our beds made up like couches in the daytime, and O, supreme luxury to Americans, a bath attached! Our "No, 1" and "No. 2" boys burst in upon us at every station to dust us off and give us teaâ€"the early mornâ€" ing variety at six a.m. we cry out against it but it comes next morning just the same. To these Hindus eviâ€" dently "Orders is orders." I‘ve heard of people traveling inâ€" dependently in India having to underâ€" go terrible hardships â€" sleeping on beds like boards and finally taking to the floor in preference. Raymond and Whitcomb certainly does us betâ€" ter than that. We traveled in our special cars attached to the "Twentiâ€" eth Century" of India and. feel like Maharajahs. : m:\"-t-;ewgdvcred with flame colored blossoms just flashed by us. They call it "Alame of the forest." O, but India seems to me a snd“ country! Now as the dusk comes across this great flat, halfâ€"desert waste there is certainly a deep sadâ€" ness brooding over it. Not a livâ€" ing thing for miles and then perâ€" haps a very small boy or girl tendâ€" ing a herd of water buffalo. The towns we pass through are terribly sordid. â€" Last night in the middle of the night I woke up and realized that the train had stopped. I sat up and looked out of the window. . There on the station platform â€" for we were in a station â€" sat perhaps a hundred silent figures grouped around brightâ€" ly burning campfires. There was a dead silence, the leaping flames lit up those gaunt brown faces and great If so you can win a priz( Saturday, December 11th, there will open opâ€" posite the Alcyon theatre a new amusement hall with Golf â€" Ping Pong â€" Baseball, Footâ€" ball, :ete.

They seemed like ghosts, keeping vigil beside heatless fires. I cannot get the picture out of my mind, it seemed to be a symbol, symâ€" bol of India, sittting waiting patientâ€" ly for her destiny. Now in broad daylight it occurs to me that they were probably people going on pilâ€" grimage and were waiting for their train. But in what other country would they wait so strangely? This morning very early we visited »Fatehpur-Sikri, a beautiful deserted city on a hillâ€"top. _ Mosques, with carving like white lace, palaces, harâ€" ems, it seems, like the Alhambra in Spain, less like reality than a dream. But it was really built by the great Mogul Emperor Akbar, the one who later built the Taj Mahal. I must leave you now and go and have dinner.

We are locked in our compartment between stations and are marched like convicts to the dinâ€" ing car, and at the next stop marchâ€" ed home again! There are no corriâ€" dors in these trains. This bizarre travelling is great fun! Now when there is such tremenâ€" dous interesting India, my friend, Dhan Gopal Mukerji, has done us a great service in doing what we should like to have done. But what no American could do.. He has made a crossâ€"section of the opinion of the various people on the burning quesâ€" tion of the propert status for India. He talked to salt law breakers, to B;-kgérs, to young revolutionists, to holy men, to members qf the cultured classes, to the President of the Indian Council. â€" The result is a collection of informal interviews of great interest to every one of us. and have a lot of fun!

THE PRESS ’ LAND CRUISE | TRAINS Mr. Mukerji took his title "Disâ€" illusioned India," not from any disâ€" illusionment India feels with herself, for there is none, but from her feelâ€" ing that England broke faith with her. After the War, if India had done her part, it was the Infl_lllg'l understanding that they would be given Dominion Status,. They did their part but did not have the reâ€" ward. That is why her most influâ€" ential men, even Ghandi himself, reâ€" fused to go to London to the present Round Table Conference. "What is i 176 N.

Mr. Mukerji‘s own thought seems to be centered on the hope that the revolution, if revolution must come, will be a nonâ€"violent one, for he feels that then India will have given to the world, a new method of gaining political freedom without war. That will, he feels, be equal to the spiritâ€" ual contributions which India has alâ€" ready made. 43 NORTH SHERIDAN ROAD Highland Park Bunday School 9 :80 a.m. Between Ages 4â€"20 Morning Service 10:45 a.m. Wednesday Evening Service 8 :00 You are cordially invited to visit the Reading Room, where ‘the Bible, and all authorized Christian Science literature may be read, borrowed, or purchased.
