"It is not surprising, said Mr. Beatty, "that your menof great vision have reached the conclusion that if they (the war debts) were removed, industry would be stimu- lated, trade would expand, and prosperity would return, and out of the revivication of the world conditions would inevitably come great benefit to the United States."

Cunningham, of the China Inland Mission, has g<^dned an extensive knowledge of life in Tibet, 'which is probably the least - known inbabi:e.d country ' in the world. Populated by more than six million people, Tibet is bordered •, by Russia on the north, India on the south, China on the east, and Persia on the 'west.: Tour high mountain, ranges' correspond wi h these boun- daries, and Tibet may only be enter- ed by high, snow-capped passes from 14,000 feet to 20,000 feet above sea- level. "It seems as if nature had con- spired with the lamas to make Tibet a closed country," said Mr. Cunning- ham. "Apart from the fac, that no person,, other than a Tibetan, ii al- lowed to enterthe country, it would be difficult for one to live in or neat Tibet, because the Neigh- of the coun- try above sea -level makes the atmo- sphere so rarified," Relati.ves of Sud- Eta Sundar Singh, an Indian Chris tian, were found by Mr; Cunningham at Darjeeling in North India, Sun- dar Singh was taken ).prisoner when he first visi,ed Tibet, ami he was tole; that if he returned be would be pun to death. It was rumored, howel e, that he had died of cholera. Having learned to speak the Tibe- tan language, Mr. Cunningliaus uas rrequeittly conversed wi h the la.uas ,;ho pass into China, and from thei._ to has obtained information to i'rt political and religious ui, itizattei.
