The next’ fifty years in India will see a possible civil war and the country’s resources must still be developed before India be- comes a world power. The large concentration of population, the character of India’s political lead- ers who demonstrate a turn of thought that is open-minded and the religious and spiritual leader- ship shown are the seeds of India’s future power. (Mrs. Manning explained that In- dia could easily supply the impetus for a religious revival and would be an important sea-and air power in the case of another war. “The most strategic points in such a war would be the islands in the Indian Ocean around India and _ these would be held by Great Britain as long as possible.” The developments in Indian pol- [| ities leading up to the British de- cision to leave India in 194& were 4 | also summarized by Mrs. Manning. “An attempt by the Labor (Govern- ment Mission last May to bring about an agreement between the Congress Party and the Moslem League, India’s largest political factions,” said Mrs. Manning, “re- sulted in the acceptance of the gen- eral principles proposed by the Mission.” The Mission provided for an interim government which has been set up under Nehru de- spite objections on both sides. The result has been rioting between the Events Common Room, April 7th. Speaking on what Russian plans are for Germany, Mrs. Coates boil- ed down the complex Russian wants to: 1. reparations, and 2. a Germany: that will function eco- nomically so as to aid the U. S. 8. Ri ‘ Russia needs reconstruction so that she can hold Ker head up in this world and equal the Western powers. Her losses during the war were enormous and she is de- manding the ten million agreed on in the Yalta protocol. However, even more important to her is an economically strong centralized Germany with a tech- nical might that will be of use to her. From 1921 to 1938 she had this kind of relationship on a smaller scale. The Treaty of Ra- pello in 1922, signed between Rus- sia and Germany at a time when the Allies were demanding the payment of the imperial debts, provided in a secret section for the transfer of war and peace machin- ery, German technicians and sci- entists, and complete factories and plants to the U. S. S. R. and Ger- man soldiers to train the army. This ideal relationship disintegrat- ed because of Hitler’s antagonism to Bolshevism but did not come to an end until 1938. Russia hopes to revive it for the future. Moslems and Hindus and a general confusion. Plans for a Constituent ‘Assembly were also made by the Mission. This was set up by the interim government, but the Mohammedans have refused to recognize it. A New Proof of God Presented by Weiss Watch Those Whistles!

Lindeman “Sources of Value for Modern Man,” the address for the chapel service of Sunday, April 13, is to be delivered by Eduard C. Linde- man, teacher and author.

The fact that the old theological doctrine of omniscience which said that God knows everything that can be known leads to the conclu- sion that He is connected with evil was elucidated by Dr. Weiss. “For if God knows what can be known the problem of what could be known is still unsolved. If he as the concrete future, he would know what we are doing and thus be connected with evil. Therefore, He must know the future as poss- ible not as actual.” In discussing the relation of good and evil, Dr. Weiss stated that the ethical good is not the same as the Divine good. Otherwise acts of God such as the demand for the sacrifice of Isaac which seem un- ethical could not be explained. Dr. Weiss then distinguished five mean- ings of evil: religious sinning; vio- lations of an ethical code; human disturbances, such as disease; phys- ical or natural disturbances; and metaphysical evil. “This meta- physical evil,” asserted Dr. Weiss, arises from the good intrinsic in each _ individual.” The difficulty lies in the fact that since the good possesses the quality of expansive- ness, each intrinsically good: per- evil. cannot depend on the present and (Bryn Mawr SDA To Be Organized One hundred and fifty progress- ive students from forty-four schools representing all areas of the United States convened March 28-30 in Washington, D.

A rigorous program of political] action was decided on in support of progressive candidates and of a legislative program which includes planning for full employment, a national health program, defense of the rights of labor, control of monopoly, reduction of the voting age to eighteen, and enactment of national. F.E.P.C. legislation. The §.D.A. will work particularly on the elimination of discrimination in education. Drs. Miller, Berry Win in Badminton Friday, April 4. Two benchfuls of impartial students watched the fast-moving badminton contests between students and a T-shirted faculty team consisting of Mrs. Miller, Mrs. ‘Patterson, and Messrs. Broughton, ‘Lattimore, and Berry. : The first match, between Miller and Patterson for the faculty and Mar- ion Harvey and Winnie Runton for the students ended with a:score of 15-12 and 15-6 in favor of the stud- ents. In the second match between Broughton and Lattimore, and Nan Garton and Libby Bagley, there was more life, featuring the wear- ing out of Mr. Broughton’s racquet and a very novel serve technique by Mr. Lattimore, but the stud- ents won nevertheless with a score of 11-15, 15-11, 15-11. By the third match the faculty had become more. business-like. The student players, Alta Mae Har- ris and Lucia Rogers, were thor- oughly intimidated, and Mr. Miller, Mr. Berry and the faculty won 25-2, 15-9, 17-15. ‘Cokes and cook- ies were served for the exhausted spectators and players.
