Park Commission To Discuss Plans For
 Proposed Athletic Field This Evening
Commission May Recommend Expenditure of $5,OOO in
 This Direction At South End Park.

Two sides of the largest diamond will be enclosed in bloachers. The com mission has plans for portable fence which can be erected at both ends of the field that are now blocked off by bleachcrs and in this manner d com pIctely enclosed field will be provid- ed. Under this plan it will be an easy matter to collect admissions from all who wish to view the contests.
 Boon to II. $. Sports.
 Since the athletic field for High school sports, for which there has been agitation for many years, has failed to materialize, followers of High school athletics have interested them selves in the progress of this newest movement. If the city sees fit to work the park so as to establish a field for sports, the school will have one of the best fields in New England, and there will be little difficulty in handling the crowds that attend the Hartford New Britain game and other big gridiron contests.
 There is no field in the city suitable for the holding of track meets, it is pointed out. The Berlin fair grounds for the past several years has been the only suitable grounds for such events, but since that tract has been cut up into building lots the city has felt the need of a new place. With increased interest in track at the High school, the need is becoming more and more apparent.
 Open to All Clubs.
 The baseball diamonds could be utilized by both school teams and semi-p professional clubs alike and eX- ccpting upon unusual occasions, the facilities of the park would be at the disposal Of the public at large.

Plans for a proposed athletic field in the south end park will be dis cussed this evening at a meeting of the board of park commissioners, called for the purpose of preparing a tentative program for next year.
 Permanent Work.
 The athletic field, laid out accord ing to plans furnished the board by Engineer Desmond of Simsbury, would cost the city approximately $75,000, but proponents of the idea explain that this will represent q permanent work and will be a strdent move to- ward the completion of New Brit aims park extension movement.
 It is the plan of the park board to include this item in their list of estimated expenses for the next fiscal year, and in this form 1t will go 10 the board of finance and taxation for action. All commissions must have estimates in the hands of the tax ation board by February, hence the necessity for early action in the mat ter. A number of local athletic clubs and fraternal organizations have al ready sent messages urging the f. nance and taxation board to act fa- vorably upon the request.
 May Charge Admission.
 The question has been raised as to whether or not it would be possible to charge admissions to games staged in the south end park since the plot is public park. Members of the park board have brought this prob lem to legal advisers and are inforp- ed that admissions can be chargef
 The proposed plan provides for well laid out baseball diamonds, football gridirons and a field for track events.

by the city commissioners at their

Improvement OF the public IL

was the opinion of City Attorney

INDIA BANKRUPT
UNDER RULE Of
BRITAIN, STATES
0ne-Fifth of the People of
the World Are Held BY a
BRUTAL and Sordid SyS-
tenn" Native Claims.

Washington, Dec. Il (by the AS
ISOLATED Press. british rule in
India was criticised today in an
address before the National Popu-
lar government league by Syud
Hossain, one Of the three represen-
tatives of that country who pre-
scented her claim at Versailles as
the cause of the widespread suf-
fering in India and as being APP
parently designed solely to transfer
Indian wealth to Great Britain.
He expressed the opinion that 1t
was futile to hold such a con-
clave as the arms conference when
British militarism "is holding I'M
der it's heel one-fifth of the peo-
pie of the world by a brutal and
sordid system"
A great hope had come to India,
he said, through the appearance
and Tabor of love" OF the Mahat-
ma Gandhi, leader of the move
ment for peaceful nom operation
throughout India.
Asked as to how far Mr.. Sastri,
a British arms delegate, represent
ed the people Of India. he replied
it was "farcical and outrageous"
to suggest Mr.. Sastri as an Indian
representative.
"Sastra holds no mandate from
the people of India" he said.
Mr.. Hossain commended that In
dia was n geographical, historical
and cultural unit. The English
were attracted to India by its
wealth, he said, and by the use of
the British navy had kept other
nations out.
India, one of the wealthiest
countries in the world is today
pauperized and bankrupt coun-
try" he declared.
