He explained that India is a land of contrasts witb old systems and customs, but mod- ern government, industrial de- velopniient, and up-to-date busi- ness methods.

Food Shortage While there are millions of epeople in Indià there is also a shortage of food, and unern- ployment problems, Mi. Roy a stated. The standard of living - is low. Food production has not aequalled the population in- :creases. Despite these problems 1the people in the small villages tbroughout the landi are aston- *ishingly happy, he said.

No Suelal Securlty The speaker also told the Ro- tarians of social conditions in India. There is no old age pen- sion, no faniily allowance, or uneniployment i.nsurance. Ini one bouse there are usually sev- eral generations of one famlly. Grandparents, their marriedi sons and their faniilies often live under one roof. Salaries arc low, and a lac- tory worker receives $10 a week for the sanie work a man might receive $100 a week for in this country, the speaker said. But he pointedi out- thati the cost of living is also cheap in India. He remarked that a haircut coats only 10 cents there.1 He referred ta the Indiani caste systeni, and said that iti is dying out.
