A journalist''s widow in distress

A PITIFUL account comes from Simla of the late Mr.



A PITIFUL account comes from Simla of the late Mr. Guest, the journalist, who is sixty seven years of age. Very few have earned money in journalism, especially in India; and many are the instances of silent suffering and tragic and after years of toil. In Bombay the late Mr. Malabari, and his devoted friend Mr. Dayaram Gidumal were for several years quietly assisting Indian journalists in need, and after their death their impecunious widows. In Southern India the late Maharaja of Vizianagaram, the late Sir P.N. Krishna Murti, his brother the late Mr. P.N. Purnaiya, and the late Mr. Balaiya Nadu were all the friends and supporters of stranded journalists and their families. In our own Province the late Sadar Dyal Singh took a pride in assisting capable and deserving journalists. We in India usually look up to princes and reises for encouragement to authors and journalists.
 
Certificates of identity for foreign travel
THE Government of India have published a resolution in the Home Department laying down instructions with regard to certificates of identity for natives of India who contemplate proceeding out of India to foreign countries. The District or Political Officer or head of the School or College should not, the Resolution says, refuse an applicant a certificate of identity even if his means do not appear to be sufficient to enable him to effect his object, but "should endeavour to dissuade him from undertaking the journey, pointing out the difficulties in which the applicant would be placed were he find himself in a foreign country without sufficient means." Local Governments and Administrations have been instructed to take steps that all reasonable facilities are given for obtaining certificates of identity.
