In an article entitled ^fe and the
Quarrelsome Bad Clamblers** the writer The lowest of the four classes into which East India Company civil servants were divided. A Writer’s duties originally consisted mostly of copying documents and book-keeping. , who signs himself
'Soldier on pension 1 # tries in most involved and cautious
language to explain the present agitated state of the world
and European politics which ia bound to end soon or late in
a war yet fiercer and more devastating than the Great War#
In this sense he regards the various attempts at disarmament
In Europe, while armaments are "being increaeed and perfected
da:/ and night, as so many attempts to delude the simple-
minded people of the ast who are the sole victims and the
prey of all these infernal preparations. Dim but steady
signs of awakening among the people of the Last have more
than irritated the polticians of the colonising cowers
who are doing their best to devise means to make such
movements in the East subside, by the creation of new
sources of animosities between them or by fostering old
lurking sources of hatred. The next generation in Persia
and in the world will probably be the witness of this great
scene of human slaughter, as within another 20 to 50 years
the present economic depression will disappear and once more
European Powers will have a free hand to bring to action the
designs so far fostered and perfected. Unless more
patriotic and combined efforts are made by the Persian
people for their own protection, unless the feeling
prevalent since 150 years ago in this country whereby all
foreigners are adored and virtually assisted in their
designs against our country, unless higher moral standards
of national courage, consistency and solidarity are
displaced, the Persian people will be the first victim of
the next onslaught of Europe which is bound to come.
