INDIA IN THE PACIFIC.
ISLAND NATIVES DISAPPEARING.
INDIANS DIVORCED FROM
MORALITY,
! JSy Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyrlsht. Received Feb. 23, 7.15 p.m. Sydney, Feb[ 23. The Rev. Piper, a Fijian missionary, in an address, said the native races of the Pacific were passing slowly but surely off the stage. In twenty years Fijians would be outnumbered by Indians, and in sixty to a hundred years there would be a small India in the Pacific. The Indians sent to Fiji were slum dwellers, who had lost their caste distinctions and all the old ideas. They were to-day divorced from religion and morality. The Indian problem was testing thf best Christian efforts in the Pacific. The islands of the Pacific would never be white men's islands, but it was for us to see that their Orientalisation proceeds on the beat line.--Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
