This has been inter,p:reted as political domination over the adherents of. oth- er faiths, just as, at the end ,of the nineteenth century, Christendom do- minated politically the adhereetts of Mahomet, Twice the Islamic program has coarse near realization: once when the hordes of the early Caliphs submerg- ed vast portions 01 southwestern Eur- ope, Asia and Africa; and again when the O'ttonian, Turks invaded sout'h- eas'tern Europe up ,to the walls of Vienna. Today ambitious leaders of the new Islam dream of fulfilling 'ele- homet's mission. Like 'an awakening giant the Moslem world is stirring in its sleep. Two retain preoccupations - have blinded Western leadership to the emergence and grow•tit of this new world movement. Western "Christen: - dont," Christen -dont, as represented by ,non-Russian Europe and America, is distracted by its economic problems at home and, in the East, -by the aggressive policy of Japan in Asia. _And now the spirit of nationalism has begunto work as a ferment among the 130,000,000 inhabi- tants of the hIehometan lands.' 'This movement has a twofold ex- pression. aprpe'ars as a racial "na- tionalism siinilar to that which Inas racked Europe from the inid'dle years of the nineteenth century until the present clay, It also exists as a°feeling o"f political solidarity among t'ho'se peoples who since the seventh cen- tury have conte under the influence oIfd.lslandic culture. Just as, fr!o'ne the time of the Crusades onward, the tea-' tions that had been subjected to 'Christian intflnenees, though gleamed - ling violently among themselves from time to time were atble to show a united front toward the East, so now, and for the first' time 'since the foun- dation of the Mahometan faith, the !Isl'a'mic people are displaying: a ten- dency to combine against the West. This developanent threatens the fu- ture peace of the world. In any case it issure to playa great part in inter- national politics. Therefore the West- ern n peoples should' understand whet lies'behin,d this new adliattee, how it 'differs from the former religious 'bro- therhood and why its ineportance has grown, 'Th'e fir's't manifestation of the two i to which I have,alreadyreferred def- iers little in s'piri't from the national- istic feeling of the Western n'atio'ns. Its signefilean'ce its that it is now m,ak- ing its appearance in the Bast. Up to the end of the last , century religion was the'' driving Force: "'Nlationalisem counted for little..

There was no racial SY,inpathy in the ordinary' sense of the word, for there is no feeling of racial affinity between the bearded tic• Pathan of the uo gbh of India 'Semil the Berber mountaineer of Morocco and the Maliometin Negro of central 'A'frica. But' thsre'is a feeling of cul- tural' solidarity. Thirteen centuries of the religious teaching of Islaan have developed an outlook on life, an attitude toward' mundane affairs that survives long after the mystical side of the \laheo'niotan religion has been swept away by modern echication and the adoption of Western ideas. The Maho'me'ten religion itself is static. In the past it has .prevented change, reform and progress, Under Islam, as;a religion dominating the lives of it's devotees, pltiloso;phy, sci- ence and the arts stood still. In a simpler age the Mahometans pre- vailed as fighting men. But they pro- gressed culturally only when the in- terpretation of their religion was liberal. When the Ca'lip'hs were seated at Bagdad in the Golden Age of Abbas-'. sides and alt en Huran-al-Rashidl wielded the sword of Islam, a liberal'' spirit was abroad. Science and cul- ture flourished. Theu. it was that', Aralb and Moorish learning gave ' us'I, the sciences of astro'nandy, mathema- tics and early navigation;. when the greatest scholars of the age were found in-Msihometan,universities., But'. with the coming of the Turks, the'. sack of Bagdad, the break-up of A'b-J dasside rule in Sslaaat, there followed' six of these centuries, and especially during the nineteenth century, the material power of Christendom waxed! and exercised an ever-increasing pres- sure on the Islamic peoples, " A't the beginning of the World War the only independent Mahometan peoples were the much weakened Turks who, in their turn, were op- pressing the Arabs and other co -relig- ionists under their rule, and a few tribes in the _Atlas Mountains resisting with ever -diminishing hopes of suc- cess the advance ofl French power soubhlwrard from Morocco. The re- mainder of the Mlahometan peoples from the Atlantic on elle West to the Pacific in the East were under the rule, direct or indirect, of not Moslem governments. England, France, Hol- land, Russia, Italy—all claimed vari- ous sections of the Mahometan world.

Sts two maincentres of activity are the bAzhar University in Cairo and the 'Cenitral• '1'fahome'tan Committee in Delhi. The university at Cairo sends out missionaries who penetrate most of 'Africa. 'Their teach- ing is less religious than political. Ilam Jenoti's no racial ,orcaste d'is- rinctiods, and its missionaries are de- liberately stirring the,iA•frican native races unto revolt against white 'as- cendancy. .In India the Moslems, hitherto the supplorters of IBritish imperialism, af- fect to believe the British rule :will be !withdrasvn in a decade, and 'that they must .then he ,prepared to unite against a new Hindu 'im.peeialism. :From Delhi through the Punjab, the northwest frostier -province, IBalu- c'histan and IPersia there is direct communication :with Turkey, Arabia and (North Africa: Tihe IHundu major- ity in India is ebeginning to- do'ok with apprehension at this new movement, for .their 11\4w'sdein 'fello'w-citizens make no secret of 'their intention to call o:n the 'hosts of ;Islam for support in the event of serious communed troubles 'I idd'a 'after ,the 'British 'have handed over :the government to`'IItrdians. len a conversation 'with Mahatma Gandhi :I asked 'him ,what he thought the -otetcame,nvotild be if the 'British .evacuated dndia as rapidly as they could +withdra,w their troops rand their nationals.

It its already a force to be reckoned with—a great factor in future 'world -polities. CHARRITAABLE BEQUEST The Caliph, the Commander of bhe IPa'ithiful, ,was sup'p'osed to be the chief of the most Powerful Islamic state, d armyble to come with a fleet an a eo t the succor 'of any .other Islamic peo- ple threatened or attacked by the in- fidel. It ticas founded on the religion of the Koran, and in, theory the wield- er of the Sword of Islami was entitled to summdn• the F'aith'ful everywhere to t'he co'tnmon defence. n rant ice t c I P t the system -broke dAti for two rea- sons. The Caliph, was possessed of tremendous power by his position and was inclined, as has always been the case in history,. to abuse this power. Thus, bhrough the centuries the non - Turkish Islamic peoples dreaded the Turkish Caliphate as much as they dreaded the most powerful state in 'C'hristendom, Not only were there revolts against the temporal power of the Commander of the. Faithful but on occasion the Faithful thenvselves,. those of non -Turkish races, threw 'in their lot with the infidel. The most recent example • was the World War, when Egyptians, Arab and Imelee Moslem soldiers fought hard against the Turkish troops. The other weakness of the purely religious cohesion of Islam was bhe schism between .Stennis and 'Sufis. The internecine wars in the world Of IIsiam were terrible and bloody, Dur- ing all the later .years of 'the Oali- ,phate it would have been as difficult to range the Islamic nations on one side in defence of their faith : as it would be to combine- ,the European states, including Firance,,Gernrany and Poland, with the United States of 'Arnerica, in defence of Christianity today. However, the r'eplacement of the religious feeling of solidarity, .which was always patchy and incomplete, by the idea of a common cultural front against Western ascendlancy leas made the .ngw movement far more powerful, Western ascendancy means, to Moslems, the possession .of War- ships, machine grins' and 'bombing air,planes and their use to impose poli- tical domination upon the materially backward peoples. The P°aneI'slandic 'hope today is to reverse this position --to Westernize the Moslem peoples and band them together, for political and military ends. ' 'The Ghazi, Mustapha Kemal, today is the hero of the whole Islamic world, the .greatest figure who has appeared in it for centuries. Yet he led the Turkish liberal movement in breaking the temporal power of the Maho'metant "church, destroying the 'Caliphate, unveiling the women and. replacing by compsision turd with the threat of the death penalty the fez Or tarbooah with the felt 'hat of the West. ,Th.e reason why some of the old Turks preferred death to giving up the fez is the belief that at the hour of prayer the true believer must touch the ground with his forehead, either in the mosque or in the "fields, Yet his head must •be covered.—and therefore his head-dress must be brimless. En the ,eyes of orthodox Mahoinetan believers of the old school Mustaptra Kemal has done even worse. He has allowed statues of himself . to be erected in Turkey.To reproduce the human form in stone' or picture is directly contrary to bhe strictest teachiings of the Koran of Islam, 'But all these sins against oathod'oe. religion, these heresies and 'blasphe- mies, count as nothing in contuarisoa with the fact that Mustapha ' Kemal reorganized the Turkish armies after defeat in the World War and led theist to sticcese'f.u.l victory against, a Greece that was fully supported by a Britain at the height '•of. her military power. He forced, France, the most powerful military nation: in. the World, bo.co.me to terms with him; and he threatened the combined klrlanleo 13rl1islh fonces at Con;stanibiavopie and the Dardeieltes, 'Mustapha Kemal with his sword ,cut in piece's the treaty of peace that hadbeen florced on Turkey, and he signed, instead, a far more generous 'breaty. draiwn nip in terms of rough justice to 'his-. country. Again, the military 'exploits of a petty meurtntein',ehief, Ailed el Krim leader of the Riffs, agaim,st Slpain and France,; made hem a great figure. 'VVIhen:he 'Was- hammering alt the gates. of Fez at the head of his wild moun- taineers, after utterly defeating the 'Spaniard•s, there was talk of rehabih- taring the Oaliip'hlate with;Albd el Krim as the new Commander of the Faith- ful.

Malee your owu experiments first, then let your friends sample the most successful ones. COM FISH SOUFFLE. iThiis ,is very simply made. 'Sieve the cooked fish with one or two hard- boiled eggs and flavour with anchovy essence. Dissolve four sheets of gela- tine in a quarter of a pint of 'the stook in -which the fish Was cooked, add add this .to -the "fish and eggs: Season with 'pepper, salt, lemon juice and cayenne pepper. Whip a quarter of a pint of cream, add tit to the sante .quantity of 'thick cold white sauce, and mix it with .the rest. IPour into a china souffle case, and leave it till it is set. ,Serve it as 'it is, but -decorate the top of the souffle if you like. Lt requires no cooking, You can 'line a mould with asparagus tips, too, and pour the souffle, made as above, into it, tutting' it out when set, Bait in this case you had better use two more sheets of gelatine. HAM MOUSSE. Ham can always' be 'bought, but let us have .something more exciting than• just those everlasting slices. Pound up h'al'f a pound of cooked lean ham with half a pint of tomato sauce and sieve it. Whisk a gill of aspic jetty .till it froths; beat up the white of an egg till it is stiff; whip a gil and a half of cream lightly. Now dissolve half an ounce of gelatine in a little stock, and prix it with the cream, aspic, and ham mixture. Last- ly, fold in the egg-white. +Poser it into a couffle case and leave till it ,sets. It may be coloured with a little coohineal or carmine, and, of course, decorated if, y -on like when it is cold. If you want to turn it out, add a little more gelatine. 'CH'EESE TARTLETS ;Make sonic 'cheese straw pastry with about half an ounce of butter, an ounce of flour, an ounce of grated Parmesan cheese, half an ounce of cheddar, the yolk of an egg,- and salt and cayenne pepper, Line some tart - et tins with this mixture and bake it. /When they are cold, these little bantleits can be completed with all sorts of savoury ,fillings, so tong as the 'flavour of the contents does not fight with the cheese. For instance, a puree of dried haddock would be ex- cellent. Batt you :will be able to think of many others. A Scott had been tugging furiously at the handle of the stamp machine.

"Lf I had it to do 'over again, 'I'd have more interests," he confided to friends, Horace Beckham came to Detroit from upstate with the, heritage of pioneer New England standards. FIa quietly an d doggedly hell to these standards while the swift growth of the world's motor capital made him 'hugely rich. The man who lir-ed across the street from him in 1+903, Henry 'Ford, an inventive mechanic, had much of the same background and type of mind as Horace Rackharn. Racilham, always conservative, ,went directly contrary -to the advice of the president of the bank where he kept his mod est supply of cash and borrowed $5,- 000 to put with $5,000 more of his . laws partner, John W. Anderson, '. to make $10,009 or the original .$213,000 cash capital of the Ford Motor - Co. Ford and Beckham maintained to the end of Rackhatn's life the friend- ship begun with that investment in 11903 -an investment which paid fur itself in six months and which heaped up about $20,000,000 as years passed. 'The interests of Horace Beckham in the days when wealth was over- -talking him were—in order of import- ance -his wife and home, the prac tise of law, and bawling on the green. Once a week, on Saturdays, he jour- neyed to Windsor to play the medie- val game of bowls. He was an astute business man, satisfied with a 2 per cent return, His .friends called him stodgy and old fashioned. He just smiled.and did not argue. At the time of the 1923 bank merger he was a director of the .Bank of Detroit, He did not approve and he withdrew his deposits and resigned his. directorship and went on his con- servative way. Now his friends call hint a 'business genius. HIGHWAY SAFETY C'AMP'AIGN Again the Minister of Highways, the Hon, Leopold Macaulay, through the Motor Vehicles Branch, is in- augurating an aggressive, widespread publicity campaign in an effort to stem the tide of disaster on the streets and highways of the Province. Despite an educational program which the Highways Department have carried out over a period of years, death and injuries caused vy motor vehicle traffic are alarmingly, unnecessarily high. The thoughtful co-operation of ev- ery motorist and every pedestrian will assist in the interest of safety.
