SYUD HOSSAIN SPEAKS ON ENGLAND AND INDIA

Syud Hossain, internationally famous orator, journalist, lecturer, and authority on relations between East and West will speak tonight in the Living Room of the Harvard Union at 8 o'clock. His subject will be, "India and England: What of the future?"

Hossain, an Indian by birth, is a graduate of the University of Calcutta. He began his career in the British Service, following in the footsteps of his father who held high offices under the British Crown. He later engaged in journalism and for several years was a writer in the English Press, contributing to such periodicals as the "New Statesman," "Contemporary Review," and the "Asiatic Quarterly." In India he achieved eminence as Associate Editor and Editor-in-chief of the "Bombay Chronicle," and the "Independent" of Allahabad. In these capacities he gained an influential position as a publicist due to his grasp of public affairs and outstanding oratorical abilities. In 1920 he was one of the three delegates elected by the people of India to present the Indian case at the Near Eastern Peace Settlement. Upon the conclusion of his mission he remained in Europe to follow the developments of the international situation, attending the Washington Conference for Limitations of Armaments in 1921 as press representative for India.

More recently Hossain has been lecturing to audiences in Europe and America on political, economic, and cultural relations between the Orient and the Occident. Years of editorial experience in Asia and Europe make his knowledge of the problems involved first-hand and authentic. As editor of the "New Orient," America's latest magazine of Eastern affairs, he is bringing before western minds the Oriental's point of view in art, religion, and letters.

During his American tour, Syud Hossain has been enthusiastically acclaimed by audiences throughout the country.
