CONDITIONS IN INDIA.
NOT AT ALL PROMISING
BRITISHERS LEAVE FOR. AFRICA
In a. Jetter written to. his brother, Mr Owen Jones, of Hawera, Mr T. A. Jones, who wrote on the high seas between India and Africa, makes interesting reference to his travels and a tour he is just commencing in East Africa. Just before posting he enclosed a post-card from Mombasa, showing “a lion in its native haunt,” a very striking picture. He says he has seen a variety of types of human material in the last three or four weeks, “and shortly we shall be coming into, contact with yet more, for at Mombasa and down the Coast we shall meet Somalis, Masai, and Arabs, Mauritious folk and Portuguese.” He adds that among his fellow-passengers were several English people from India going to. and Tanganyika to settle, and says that their opinion of India is that matters social and political are not at all favourable and promising. It is of interest to get opinions first hand from men who have had experience of conditions in India.
