India after the war

THE Bengalee gives prominent attention to the opinion expressed by Mr. Gelwyer Bevan, one of the Secretaries of the Y.M.C.A., London, on the future of India after the war in his book on "Indian Nationalism: For one thing, he writes, the war means inevitably a disturbance of the situation in India. For India will no longer accept a position of inferiority which is assigned to her. He says that the British will find it more difficult to take their stand in India on some supposed superiority of the White man as such. He writes: "As European education spread in India, as India awoke more and more in the modern world, that ground would have become increasingly untenable. Sooner or later, if India remained a member of the British Empire, it would be because India chose the association voluntarily, intelligently with head held high." There is no doubt that such is the real position and the educated people know that the associationship between India and England will grow stronger and more united, and after the war the claims of India for a juster treatment will be recognised.  

German slander in Russia

THE Times in its issue of the 20th  November devoted a leading article to point out the real value of Russian campaign against Germany and how far it has assisted France and England in thwarting the designs of the enemy. It also referred to the presence of German agents in Russia who were doing their best to break the friendship between Russia and England just as they attempted to revive jealousies between England France. These attempts are all doomed to failure because all the three great Entente Powers recongise the strong bond of their alliance and their common object.
