6 — ' Java '
ERNEST YOUNG
A year ago Mr. Ernest Young spent several months in the East Indies, pottering about from one island to another in a cargo boat. The first island he visited was Java which listeners will see clearly marked on the map on page 27 of the pamphlet.
He will describe where he landed and how he went to see the ruins of the Hindu temple shown on this page. He will explain why there are so many Hindu temples in Java when the Javanese are not Indians, but come from Malayan stock.
Then there are Arabs there and he will explain their coming-and the coming of the Dutch who were to transform Java. They lived, and still live, happily with the Javanese and inter-marry with them.
' The Dutch have, in fact, taken so much care of the welfare of the Javanese and the cultivation of the soil that Java is now one of the wealthiest and most densely peopled parts of the earth.'
