    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

years, is one of the oldest In the
world.
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.
