INDIAN PROBLEMS. (From Our Own Correspondent.) SAN FRANCISCO, September 17. The social problems of India are so vast and complex that Aljss Jean Begg, formerly of Auckland, who has an extensive knowledge of them, speaks on the subject with awe. Travellers to that land may be certain in their conclusions, but not Aliss Begg, who is national general secretary for the Y.AV.C.A. in India, Burma and Ceylon. She has arrived in California to confer with American Y.AV.C.A. officials. “The prcsent T day political problems in India, the transition from external rule to self-government, has its exact counterpart in the social problem,” she said. “Family and caste restriction, until lately all powerful in the life of the individual and especially of Indian women, both Hindu and Aloslem, have recently yielded to the demands for personal freedom and self-expression. “In my work we are trying to assist Indian women to avoid these dangers which come from sudden and unexpected personal-liberty, which often absolutely bewilders them. How it will come out I do not know ”
