The program was offered by the international relations department of the club, and the speaker was Dr. T. Sinah of Chicago, a former student here from India. He was introduced by Mrs. Edward W. Blakeman of Harvard PI. and spoke on “The Struggle of India for Democracy.”
Traces Growth
He traced the growth from the Indian National Congress party founded 80 years ago, through to the beginning of the demand of independence in the early years of this century. The war of Russia and Japan, he said changed the viewpoint of the Indian people from acceptance of white domination, and gave them the belief that self-government with mistakes is better than good government by another. The changes, concessions and opposition in the history were touched upon, and the speaker described the present conditions under the leadership of Ghandi and the insistence upon the non-violence policy.
In the list of new officers elected last week, Mrs. Cahow should have been mentioned as the new first vice-president, succeeding Mrs. Hilbert whose term expires.
