THE JAINA GAZETTE Will the Jainas Svetambara and Digambara awake? Will they rehabilitate thuir Political Conference and give to the world, to India, to Congress, and to the Viceroy and the Secretary of State for India, to the British Prime Minister and to the Statutory Commission their view point of Politics and a statement of their Rights, Claims and Interests? Will some young and energetic people organise themselves at once to hold an all India meeting and then Provincial meetings for this purpose? Will some young and old Seths and Heroes of Charity (Dana Viras) loosen their purse strings to provide the necessary funds. If Jainas get some definite political status, these moneys of the Heroes of Charity may become investments and bring a good return of interest to the Jainas and perhaps even to the donors certainly indirectly and probably directly also ?
There is no time to loose. If young educated men are prepared to volunteer their services and Seths the funds, Mr. C. S. Mallinath, Editor, Jaina Gazette, Madras, will be glad to hear from them. The donations, big or small, will be acknowledged in the Jaina Gazette and separate accounts thereof kept by Mr. C. S. Mallinath as Honorary Treasurer. Indore, 20th May, 1927.
