GERMANS RELEASED
FROM CAMPS Special To H, K. Daily Press German missionaries In India who after a thorough examination by Indian Government ofacials have been found to be bona nde and not anti-government in their work have been released from
Indian concentration camps for Nazi prisoners. Along with them have been freed Jews, who were refugees from Nazi terror Hitler's Germany.
This
interesting information was obtained in an exclusive in- terview with an American mis sionary, passing through Hongkong on home leave from Nagpur, India, where he had been engaged in mis- sonary work for 28 years.
"How has the war affected India?" he was asked and the reply was, "Prices of foodstuffs, and raw materials have gone up somewhat, but the Government 18 making efforts o. Institute con- trol. Otherwise people are quiet, and life goes off as usual."
"What is the political situation like in India?"
The American missionary stated the Congress Party resigned, from the Government of eight pro- vinces, where they had the rule. as a protest against the Viceroy's declaration of a state of war in India.
CONGRESS CLAIM
The claim of the Congress Party had been that the Indian people should have decided India's parti- cipation in the war, and not the Viceroy, and so the Government. in these eight provinces is now run by specially appointed gover-
nors.
the
There are two" provinces, how- ever, in which the Mohammedan Party have got seats, in government, and they quarrel with the Congress Party, alleging tha; the Congress cule in these provinces is against Moslem in- terests.
Gandhi is still leader of the
Indian Congress, and is taking a
passive role in affairs. The In- dian leader desires the different castes to co-operate, and show mutual respect, bu, not to oppose each other. He wants all temples to be open to low, case worship- pers, and this has already been done in some parts of the country. Asked as to the work of foreign missionaries in India, the, mis- sionary replied that it was mainly concerned in education, medicar work, the foundation of agrical-
now
tural colleges, and philanthrople activity. The accomplishments of the missionaries is stated to have attracted the attention of the higher castes, who have organised their own societies and missions for the uplift of the lower castes. However, it is ad- mitted that the caste system does hamper missionary work in India.
