In the latter connection, he said that he is able to assure the United States of the complete friendship of Japan for us; that, although Japan is desirous of expansion, she looks no farther than Sumatra and Java, off the Malaypeninsula.Having this discussed the war, he directed his remarks more particularly to India, and said that not even England knew very much about her greatest possession. She takes littlepains to find out the nature of the people’s interests and offends them by calling their kings mere princes and by failing to recognize the position of the woman in India. There no coronation is complete unless the man’s wife shares it equally with him; consequently the British Imperial decrees must contain the names of both Emperor George and Empress Mary to be valid to theIndian minlt;|^ ’ ' TAlthough Englishmen have written only six books about India, Frenchmen have more than double that number, while Germany has printed more than thirty such volumes. But not even in her case has the surface been more than scratched; the real India remains hidden and it passes unperceived that such problems as a universal language have been worked out in India for years, even centuries. For Hindustani is just such a mongrel tongue, a combination of the four purer languages of which the principal ones are Beugah and Hindi.Prince Sarath Ghosh closed his lecture by recalling his prophecy that the end of the war is to fall on the Orient and by emphasizing again the fact that the true India is as little known today as she ever was; also, that when she does come to her rightful place in the world, she will give this world some valuable lessons which the United States may be the first to get if her citizens will respond to India’s present appeal for our American education and business systems. Why cannot America cease running blindly after wealth and recognize her real mission to the world at this time?
