Need For Peace Of Right Kind Cited By Noted Indians For Knife And Fork Club Peace is the great need of the world, but it must be a peace born of conviction and not of violence, two noted Indian political and social leaders told members of the Rogue Valley Knife and Fork club meeting at the Rogue Valley Country club last night. The largest attendance in the club's history testified to the interest shown in the speakers, Krishna Nehru, sister to Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru of India, and her husband. Raja Hutheesing, pub lisher of a Bombay newspaper. ' Mrs. Hutheesing, who spoke first, closed her talk by saying that "the world' needs peace, in ternal and international, but the world must seek the right peace; violence only breeds violence." Her husband emphasized her statments by adding that every one, everywhere, must quit be lieving war is inevitable and be lieve instead that peace is inevit able. "If you believe ward is in evitable, it will be inevitable," he emphatically declared. "War has accomplished nothing but the substitutio nof one totalitarian ism for another." Cite "PassW Resistance" Both speakers dwelt much on the late Mohandas K. Gandhi, and pointed, out that when he first began his crusade for India's freedom on the theme of "pas rive resistance," the western world put no faith in Its effec tiveness. "The west ridiculed our method, but we did fight the British empire, and we did win our freedom; right did win over the might of arms," Mrs. Huthee sing said. Raja Hutheesing reviewed Gandhi's campaign for freedom, and said Gandhi believed in the ballot, and in the method of con . vincing the opposition rather than bringing force to bear. "England was convinced it was the right thing to grant India her freedom, and the two nations are now friends, instead of enemies," he declared. Hutheesing said he believes Gandhi's method could be used against communism today and added, "there is a way we must find it." Peace "In Balance" Both emphasized that the pow er to keep peace in the world is largely in the hands of this na tion. Hutheesing added that "peace is in the balance now," and spoke of Asia, saying no form of government could be forced on the people ot a nation if they didn't want it. "You lost the respect of the Chinese because of support of the nationalist government," Hutheesing said, and added that the United States had, however, helped the Indonesians to gain their freedom, and this was to the country's credit. Hutheesing spoke much of freedom and said he was sorry to see that the citizens of the United States are allowing in fringements on the bill of rights. He did not become more specific, only saying citizens of this coun try might be in danger of losinel thpir faith in ripmnprapv. 5,000 Years Old Mrs. Hutheesing reviewed the social and cultural background of India, pointing out that its civilization, dating back 3.000 "PRESCRIPTIONS are written for the person under the Doctor's care No one should use another's medicine."

She spoke of the many inva sions of the country, by many different races, and said these invading peoples were for the most part synthesized until the arrival of the British. She said the caste system arose as a de fense against conquerors and that seclusion of women, and child marriages, two customs for which India has been much criti cized by the western world, arose only after the invasion by the British and were a defense against the conquerors. She explained the caste sys tem, and said it had been largely broken through Gandhi's influ ence. Women held an honorable sta tus in Indian until the domina tion of the British, she declared, and said women had regained their position in the nation since 1900 and now snare in tne so cial, religious and political life of India as they had in past times. "There are still many evils in India, but we are trying to break them down, and we are succeed ing," she declared. Mrs. Huthee sing said India did not wish to do away with the influence of the western world, but only to use those western influences which are good for India and which will not produce artificial values. Both speakers, particularly Mr. Hutheesing, spoke of India's economic needs, the latter saying that 60 per cent of the people are always hungry. The food prob lem is the most urgent, he said, and declared that "food, freedom and peace eo together." Both also frequently remind ed the audience that India has had freedom for only two and one-half years, and that too much must not be expected im mediately. Hutheesing said that the many years of domination and Vinding poverty had left the Indian without hope, and that this must be restored to the com mon man before much headway could be made. During the ques tion hour he said India hoped to be self-sufficient on food in an other two years and said that the government was making a vast effort to return agricultural land to the peasants, who under Eng land had lost interest in produc tion because of the system of ten ant landlords who reaped all the benefits. Herb Grey, president;' was in charge, and Dunbar Carpenter introduced the speakers. NAVY MAN KILLED Atlantic City, N. J Jan. 24 !U.R Robert M.
