Servics.)
The opinion was expressed last
night by v. 8. sprinivasa Sastri, In.
dia's representative on the British
conference delegation. that despite
the widespread discomfort and suffer
ing In his country. the trouble there
will not break out In revolution
against British rule.
: There IL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT discon-
tent-among my people," he said.
Seventy million Mohemmedans are
discontinued. They have grievances.
One of them is the Turkish treaty
they want to see Turkey restored az
she was before the great war.
Still they do not seek to throw
off British rule. and I do not think
there will be q revolution.
you in America like to speak of
your distress and misfortune, but you
should come to India to witness real
suffering and actual distress"
Sastri believes good will be accom-
plished by the present visit Of the
Prince of Wales to India. At any
rate, he declared, II is mot a failure"
There were demonstrations of real
affection and loyalty for him at all
places" said Sastri. There was some
trouble at Bombay, where discomfort
ed Mohammedans rioted. A quantity
of British cloth was burned, and this
led to police demonstrations, which re-
suited In the killing of thirty per-
sons. 1t was exceedingly unfortunate.
Sastri spoke highly of Mahatma
Ghandi. the non-co-operationist leader
of India, who by a pacifist policy of
non-co-operation and boycott, has
caused British rule in India more
trouble than any amount Of open
fighting.
HE Is like your Roosevelt" said
Sastri. He Is a man of great per.
sonal magnetism. remarkable character
and purity of purpose. He is an out
standing figure, and people flock to
hear him by tens Of thousands"
Economic conditions In India were
described by the Indian representative
as terrible"
Taxes are higher than ever before
in history" he said. They are ex-
cessively burdensome. The distress
among the people is great. Condi-
tons are terrible among the poor.
Prices have gone upward 800 per cent.
while wages have improved scarcely

Annapolis Mayor May
Hold Only One Office

BALTIMORE, Md. Nov. 26.-More
than one office of profit created by
the State constitution Of laws shall
not be held by one person. Attorney
General Alexander Armstrong held in
ruling that Samuel Jones, OF An
napolis, cannot hold the office Of
county commissioner as well as that
Of mayor.
Mr.. Armstrong has forwarded his
opinion to Governor Richie and State

on the Republican ticket last summer,
and county commissioner at the last

unchanged II he declines to serve as
county commissioner, according to
the opinion. but his qualification for
that office would automatically vacato

this Administration controls this
Congress, that the Congress will do
what the President tells II to do
that Mr.. Hughes can make any
agreement about our navy. which
he chooses to make and that the
Congress will not assert its rights
to interfere.
That may be true.
But II is also true that this Is not
the only Congress which will ever
assemble in the Capitol.
A new House of Representa-
tives and a new third Of the
of the Senate will be elected
in less than twelve months. and
another new House and another
ministration will be elected in less
than thirty-six months. A lot of
water will go under the political
bridges in that time, and IL the Re-
publican party wants to see it's

away on that flood all that 1t needs
