Patriotic and Famine Funds

The large amount r-.f money that baa been subscribed throughout the British Empire and its dependencies in aid of the various patriotic funds is sufficient to show that the charitable instincts of th« people ara as strong at the present tiras as they have ever been in the past We have been told—»nd no one will question the truth of the assertion—that the war in the Trane-

▼aal has bpen * mighty factor in hindin eloasr Great Britain and her colonies The latter h»ve freely and willingly given the braveßt of their sons to assist in fighting the battles of the Mother land, and in addition have contributed largely towards providing for the comfort cf the soldiers in South Africa. TMe is ai it should be j but, at the i»me tim«, it should not be forgotten that there exist far higher motives for charity than mere patriotism. That this is recognised is shown by the fact that ap to the beginning of June the Mansion House Fund for the relief of tfaa sufferers from the famine in India bad realised the snm of £271,000, in ipite of the heavy demands made upon charitable purses during the past year, In 1874 there was collected through the sime benevolent source £125,000, which was at that time considered a phenomenal result, but it must be remembered that the wealth of Great Britain hns enormously increased during the last quarter of a century, and her abilities to assist her unfortunate subjects in distant lands is proportion ately greater. It should also be borne in mind that the sufferings of the natives of India are beyond all com parison graver thaa have ever been known in the history of the country, and the latest accounts received show that many months must elapse before an improvement will be noticeable, under the most favourable conditions. The reason for these recurring famines in India lies in the failure of the monsoons, and from Borne unknown causes these failures occur at intervals varying from five to twenty-five years In this instance, however, the interval has been considerably shorter, as the last famine happened in 1897, or only three yeais ago, and the consequence is that not only is there a scarcity of grain, but also, what is even worse, a scarcity of drinking water. Thei«, again, the failure of the crops this year is w«ll nigh universal, and ia not con fined to a few districts, and some idea of the extent of the desolation can be gathered from the fact that out of the 300,000,000 inhabitants of India, 60,000,000 are starving, while in on?> district alone 1 OOO.OOOout of 1,300,000 cattle have died The terrible con dition of the people in Bombay, Raj putana Central India defies description. Dead bodies litter the earth in all directions, hundreds of corpses are burnt daily, and those who do not fall victims to the famine are reduced to such a stato of weakness as to be unable to resist the attacks of cholera or small pox. It may bo asked, why a country so rich in resources cannot make provision for these contingencies, which are known to be inevitable I Tbfi answer to aucb v qu's'ion is not difficult Since England obtained suprtm^cy over India she has recognised that the only satisfactory mi finer of governing that vast empire was by making concessions to native prrjudicrs and customs. During the fifty two years of British rule, a great deal has been done in the way of irrigation nivi the introduction of imported methods of cultivation, but it has been impossible to impress the importance of these things upon the minds of the majority. The Hindoo is compelled by his creed to use only the most primitive means in the tilling of his land, and under these conditions, even in the most favourable seasons, the produce ii not more than is required to meet the necessities of the population. Hence it is that a famine means the utter desolation of the affected area, and as, in the present instance, this area Is wider than has ever been previously known, it follows that tn*e need for the assistance is greater. As we have pointed out, the Australasian colonies have shown a praiseworthy desire to help the Mother Country in the South African war, asid will receive their fall share of the glory when the hour of victory arrives. We have thus become more intimately bound to the parent State, and it is not likely that we will shirk the responsibilities attaching to a connection of which every loyal member of the community is proud. Ono of the most important of those responsibilities Is to assist those of our fellow subjects who are in distress, and the Indian famine has given us the opportunity of showing sympathy ia an effective manner by liberally subscribing to the rehef funds, Up to the present, the response to the appeal made has been fairly satisfactory, but considering the prosperous state of New Zealand, and the well earned reputation of the colony in regard to charity, the amount realised should have been larger, No donbt, when Western civilisation has obtained a firmer hold of the lower strata of the people of India, and the land is culti atod according to more modern ideas, these famines will have lost much of their terror, and better provision to meet the disaster will be possible. Eastern traditions, however, are deep rooted, and extremely difficult to eradi cate, while they must be tolerated with great delicacy, in order to prevent dis trnst and suspicion of the ruling power. The work of education is necessarily rery slow and in the meantime it is oniy possible to do the best wo can to alleviate the sufferings of the miserable Wretches whose lands are devastated by the famine* It is in carrying out this task that our assistance is required, and ■ it is evident tha^ the co operation of the colony will not be sought in vain,
