INDIA IS DISCUSSED Epochal Events There Arc , Elaborated Upon in Light of Difficult Problems "This is a very exciting moment in the history of India and the next ten days may mark a turninu point in the British Commonwealth of Nations and the races of the world," declared Prof. Basil Matthews in speak ing before' "the'Prince Bupert Gyro Club yesterday. He- was referring to the present conference of VlceRoy Wavell with Indian leaders following the new British offer of self-government to India. The offer, Prof. Matthews declared,, was practically the same offer as that made in 1942 by Sir Stafford Cripps only with a few improvements. Prof. Matthews referred to the difficult internal situation in India with Its population of 400,000,000 250,000,000 Hindus, 80,000,000 Moslems and the 60,-000,000 "untouchables" and their seemingly irreconcilable' differ ences. , Mahatma Gandhi, with whom the speaker had come in con tact even in his home, wnne actually outside the All -India Congress, nevertheless dominat ed that Congress wnicn nad never been known to oppose his will. "Gandhi's will Is one of the most dangerous things in In dia," asserted the speaker. "He Is the greatest foe of Indian security, freedom and unity." He was a most consistent paci fist, refusing to countenance armed resistance at any cost. If Gandhi had had his way In 1942, he would have made peace with Japan and Adolf Hitler would have had control of Af rica and Japan and Asia. Jlnna, the Moslem leader, was opposed to Indian self-govern ment because he feared Hindu domination of the Moslems. Dr. Ambedcar, head of the outcasts" or "untouchables", looked with dread upon the arrival of the Hindus in power with their caste, system. India could work forward under self-government if, the Hindu-Moslem battle for power could be reconciled. There were people in the middle who might be able to bring about such a conciliation. Prof. Matthews spoke of the "central preoccupation" of the Hindu people with the birth of babies which It was estimated would result in an increase of population by 100,000,000 by 1965. He also spoKe oi ine heathen belief of transmigration of souls whereby a Hindu would not kill an animal because his soul might some time be In an animal body. In spite of the ancient superstitions and all the customs and prejudices, the Christian group was multiplying in India, the speaker declared and Christianity was becoming a power and a pattern. It might, indeed, be a very important, factor In making for the ultimate success of self-government in India. The Gyro luncheon was presided over by the president, Dr., J. J. Gibson. In addition to a good attendance of members, RUPERT, B.C., THURSDAY, JUNE SulUtlHA WARNS AGAINST TRAVEL MONTREAL Transport Controller Lockwood warned yesterday that Dominion Day week-end travelling in Canada is going- to be a rather hazardous undertaking.

Last Night Suggestion that an association be formed to buy and Improve a group of lots for the purpose of building homes under the National Housing Act was put forward at a meeting of the Prince Rupert Housing Association last night.
