In the first installment of the third article of a series of 12 dealing with India, Dr. N. S. Hardikar tells of the importance of that country in ancient times. When an American scholar visits India, the first thing that he notices is that the people of that country are poor. He then wonders whether they were in the same condition in the past centuries. As he studies patiently he finds that India was not only rich and prosper- ous, but well known to the world in the olden times. It is the avarice of the foreign powers that has put India in the condition she is today. India was well known to the world before the Christian era. Through her trade and commerce she was known to the Phoenicians, Abyssinians, Syr- ians, Greeks, and Romans. Through her Buddhist missions she was known to China, Japan, and the islands of the Pacific. Images Signify High Ideals The Carvan images of certain deities which have been found today in this country signify that there were peo- ple here who, in even those days were idealistic like the people of India. It gives us a clue that the Indo-Aryans might perhaps have migrated to this country and settled here. Many ex- amples can be cited to prove that Hindusthan was known to the world at large centuries before Vasco-De- Gama ever went to India. In the time of Solomon, the Hebrew ruler of Israel, a trade was established between India and Syria, Palestine, and other countries. This is proved by the Sanscrit words which appear in the bible as names of articles of export, such as ivory, apes, peacocks, and sandlewood. King Solomon him- self sent a fleet to the Indian ocean to bring gold to his country, with which to build Jerusalem. Traded with European Nations In Roman times the Indians were trading with European nations. So eager did the Romans become for In- dian articles that they commonly paid as much as 10 times the original price. During the rule of Darius the Great,, king of Persia (521 to 485 B. C.), In- dia was so rich that she attracted his attention. Darius conquered a part of India and carried away wealth amounting to eight million pounds sterling. Alexander the Great invaded India, attracted largely by her fabu- lous wealth. (Editor's note-This article, will be concluded tomorrow.) Reule Conlin, Fiegel Co.

LOPEZ, '17E, OBJECTS TO STATEMENTS MADE ABOUT SOUTH AMERICA Editor, The Michigan Daily: Last I Wednesday Mr. Harry A. Franck gave in Hill auditorium an illustrated lecture on South America. This lecture is apt to leave in the minds of his listeners a wrong im- pression of that section of the con- tinent about which he spoke. The pur- pose of this article is to bring out the true meaning of his lecture and to ex- plain the reason why Mr. Franck was not in a position to give a lecture of the scope suggested by his advertise- ments. In the first place the pictures, with the exception of a few, and the lecture presented by Mr. Franck are not rep- resentative of the development of civ- ilization of the countries which he vis- ited, but rather of the life, and pe- culiarities of the Indians with whom he dealt, and who compose the lowest type of the South American races. To present such pictures and call them representative of those countries is almost as absurd as if I were to travel in this country through the South or through those estates where Indian reservations are located, and after observing the life and peculiar- ities of the negroes and Indians, tell the people of South American about them and their primitive ways of liv-1 ing, and leave in their minds the im- pression that what I have presented to them about these peoples is truej throughout the United States.I Mr. Franck traveled through South' America in a way, and with an attire which probably made it almost impos- sible for him to get in touch with the educated people of the countries he visited. /Not because in South Amer- ica people are judged entirely by the clothes they wear, but because there, like in many other countries, where the class distinction is marked, one roust appear dressed in conformity ,ith his class before he is given due attention. Mr. Franck, accordingly, iade almost no mention of the edu- eated element in South America, and certainly is hardly qualified to give a lecture on such a broad subject as "South America." The more suitable title for his lecture would be "The Life, Peculiarities and Types of In- (ians of South America." It is true that he traveled in a way that enabled him to see and remem- uer things better than the average Lourist, yet his lecture is nothing else whan a detailed account of the oddities of an ignorant people and designed to Keep the listeners in a state of hilarity during the presentation of his subject. it may be interesting, but it certainly was not the instructive lecture which atudents and people of this city, who nave heard of the wonders of South America, expected to hear. Thus he is unable to do justice to the civilized people of South America; by talking only of Indian life and costumes he causes the listeners to believe that all the people of South America, their life and commodities must be of the types shown by his pictures. It is this wrong impression left in the minds of the listeners that I wish to rectify. I, as a resident of Quito, positively know that a person who goes to Ecuador, or to any other coun- try of the western coast of South America, with the idea of living com- fortably and of meeting educated and cultured people, can do so just as well as in any other place on the face of the earth. CARLOS G. LOPEZ, '17E. REV. FRANK OHLINGER TO GIVE ILLUSTRATED TALK4ON CHINA Publisher of First Christian Newspa- per in Orient, Will Tell of Experiences, Sunday Rev. Frank Ohlinger, who will give an iniustrated lecture on China, in the Unitarian church at 6:30 o'clock to- morrow night, has the distinction of being the president of the first Anglo- Saxon Chinese school ever founded in that country. Rev. Ohlinger left this country in 1870 to do evangelistic work in China, first going with his wife to Korea. To help along his work, he established the first printing press in that city, He, then weit to Shanghai to do literary work, where he translated many Am- erican articles into Chinese, in order to help educate the people. The first Christian newspaper ever published in China, was printed by Rev. Ohlinger, and was called the Zion-Herald. 11.s talk tomorrow night will be of his experiences in that country. b'~minuinm~a~nmiM3I~ J unday Attacked by Prof._Nearing
