The speaker told of the attitude of the two great sections of the Indian people, the Hindus and the Moslem believers. These two are divided most radically and have prevented much progress in the advancement of the country, even under the guid ance of the Eritish empire of which the state is one of the greatest possessions. The Japanese have also infiltered into the Indians to some extent the theory of Asia for the yellow races and against the influence of the whites in the far east. These conditions are largely to blame for the present conditions that are troubling the political and mil itary power of Britaian in the de fense of India. The two high school boy? for March gave their farewell talks on their impressions of Rotary, they being Wilbur Clans, senior and Ray mend Herold, junior. Dr. R. P.
