by K. N. Raj, Professor of Monetary Economics, Delhi School of Economics
Agrarian reforms have bv now abolished most of the feudal land tenures widespread in India before independence, but legislation for the protection of small tenant farmers has in many areas remained a dead letter. This has led, in Professor Raj's view, to the emergence of a new class of medium- and large-scale capitalist farmers; and he discusses the implications of these developments in the light of India's long-term need for a high rate of increase in food production.

by J. H. Oldham
In 1908 Dr. Oldham was appointed organising secretary of the now famous
World Missionary Conference which met at Edinburgh in June 1910. The Conference proved to be a turning-point in the modern history of the Christian t-hurch: not only did it usher in a new era of Protestant missionary enterprise, it marked the beginnings of the modern ecumenical movement ' which in turn led to the formation, after the second world war, of the World Council of Churches.
Dr. Oldham recalls some of the crucial
Decisions made fifty years ago and, in particular, the men who had to make them.
