British Treatment OF Negroes
Criticiz ed By Sir Johnston

LONDON, Sept. 14.-An indict-

in British East Africa is made by
Sir H. H. Johnston, writing in The
Observer. "Many of the assertions
made before the Negro Conference in
New York." he says, "were wild and

office to see plain justice done to the
4.000.00O of black and brown people in
this Colony and 'Protectorate.' Num-

and torture are cited by the writer.

Lndia's Attitude Towards

Mohammedan are united and are
pledged to work in concert until the
last obstacle to Indian freedom has
been removed.
"The entire Mohammedan world

cation of that surrender that the
Moslems of India united with The
Hindus in notifying the Viceroy of
India on July 1 that the boycott of
the government by the entire popu-
lation would be started on August 1.
The significant feature of this ac-
tion is that India today presents a
united people for the first time in its
long history"
DR.. Hardiker said the Hindus and
Moslems in the nationalist movement

that the British, after 160 years of

This condition existed for well over
a year. Then well known firms were
robbed by trusted employees.

War, shot himself after losing large
sums of money, which Were not his.
Young men belonging to the best
families fell into disgrace.
A campaign was then begun by
part of the Portuguese press, headed
by The Seculo and The Situa Gao.
Columns of letters from parents and
we'll known Lisbonites were printed
daily, disclosing demoralizing facts
and exhorting the government to
close the clubs. The governments,
however, rapidly succeeding each 9th
er, had other things to attend to. And
the gambling continued.
When the Baptista government
came into office strenuous measures
were taken. The magnificent clubs.
the glittering restaurants, the smart
foreign women all disappeared as
suddenly as they had burst upon the
scene a year ago.
For week carts and camions con-
veying roulette tables and other
gambling paraphernalia to the police
stations formed the chief attraction
of the Lisbon streets.
Frequent attempts have since been
made to reopen resorts. Recently the
Palais Royal Club was reestablished,

lice, after a raid.

LISBON, Portugal, Sept. IA
Gambling which flourished here to an
extraordinary degree after the arm
istice has suffered severe check at
the hands of the new government
headed by Premier Baptista. Up to
two months ago, the gambling houses
remained undisturbed but since Bap-
tista's government took office the
law has been vigorously enforced and
today there are visible signs of the
prosperity the gamblers have en-
joyed for year.
The gambling mania began to
manifest itself as soon as the war
ended. Magnificent clubs on which
big fortunes must have been spent
suddenly sprang up like mushrooms
gilded, glittering clubs, splendidly
furnished, such as Lisbon never
dreamed of possessing. Palaces be-
longing to the old aristocracy were
rented at incredible prices and trans
formed into "The Majestic" 'The
Palace Club" "Maxim's", "Palais
Royal and dozen of others on the
same scale, with restaurants, ball
rooms and gambling rooms; every.
thing being perfectly planned and
carried out on the most modern and
expensive lines. Hundreds of smaller
limitations followed, until it may with
truth be said, that not street "
Lisbon was without two or three
gambling houses.
A great change came over the hum
drum social life of Lisbon, where
nothing in the way of amusement
