INDIAN DESIGNS. LONDON, Sept. 17
Tine “Daily Telegraph's” Berlin correspondent states:— T, Str Rabindranath Tagore (the noted Indian writer and philosopher) lias received ovations when he delivered lectures iu tho English language• before crowded halls at Hamburg and Berlin, giving an exposition of his .selfless idealist philosophy. A remarkable development. is that the German Nationalist press accords the plaudits to the Indian seer, who dreams of an ora. of universal brotherhood. The real explanation of this phenomenon is that the new industrial Germany has the desire to cultivate the Indian intellectuals, a<s a. stepping stone towards the capture of the Indian markets. The German merchants, recognising that the Soviet is now undermining tho British commercial supremacy in India, arts seeking Lo transform India into a Teutonic commercial area. Even President Von Hindcnburg is aiding in this. He gave Sir R. l agore a long and gracious audience, when tho possibility of an exchange of German and Indian professors was dis cussed.
