March 31. “During the next fifty
years India will probably not -be
as important as other great areas
in the: world, but in a. thousand
years India may assume the most
important position in the world,”
said Mrs. Manning in a discussion
|of India... 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

“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

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-

Chapel to be Held

thus is forced towards another ba-
sis. \Since we are entering into the
future as well as existing in the
present, any portion of the future
must be separate and independent.

“The abstract future must be de-
pendent on something not in time,”
Dr. Weiss continued, “and the sus-
taining of the good is God.” “The
abstract good can’t depend on the
present; but since providence is
God presenting the future- to us,
the future may be said to be pivotal
to us and God,” concluded Dr.
Weiss.

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.

ents.

In the second match between
Broughton and Lattimore, and Nan
Garton and Libby Bagley, there
was more life, featuring the wear-

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.

had become more. business-like.
