GANDHl CHANGES PROGRAM

Mohandas X. Gandhi, "Mahatma"
Gandhi, who has had the British
Government in India by the ears be-
cause Of the success with which he
was teaching mass civil dis
obedience" and the boycotting Of the
liquor shops, has changed his tactics
and program. He has insisted on
mon violence" but the path he
travelled led to it. He was associated
with Mohammedan leaders and the
Islamites have no conscientious
scruples against violence. Outbreaks
occurred and conditions were fast be-
coming such as to favor rigorous
methods of restraint, the use of which
has been advocated by a faction of
the British all along in this contest
with this Indian leader
Gandhi's All-India Congress recent
ly resolved that "the country's at
mosphere is insufficient1y violent
for mass civil disobedoence" So long
as the policy of mon cooperation"
did not result in bloodshed Gandhi
made remarkable Roadway. 1t ap-
pealed to the pacifist temperament of
the Hindoos. But violence came and
the Congress rather than be subject
ed to the consequences hastens to
suspend the policy and agree to the
payment of taxes. Gandhi, himself,
has just announced that on Sunday
he began five days fast as punish
ment" for those who committed "the
brutal murders, which no amount of
provocation could possibly justify"
Speaking of the Chauri Chaura
fighting. in which II native police
men were killed, he says he regards
this tragedy as the third warning
from God against hasty embarkation
on mass civil disobcdience and as his
bitterest cup of humiliation; but
deems such humiliation, ostracism or
evcn death as preferable to any
countenancing of untruth or violence.
He has not, however, called off the
practise of picketing the liquor, shops
and he may be sure of the approval
this practice will receive from many
outside India to the extent of moral
support at least.

eoRAH AND THE TREATIES

the patience OF anyone taking him Sc
riously. Ills latest outgiving on the
Conference treaties is to the effect
that he will approve all but the Four
Power treaty under which he sus-
poets an alliance. This country will
have no foreign alliances. he says.
II is hard TO see wherein this parti-
cuiar treaty Is any more an alliance
than that In which II is agreed to
mutually curtail armament. That
agreement binds this country to dis
arm It's outposts and place itself in a
helpless condition so far as making
war in the Orient is concerned. We
make an agreement of tremendous
Significance with other countries and
give up certain sovereignty in the do

will support this. 1t would require
some hardhood not to support it. for
the country Is united in favor Of it.
The President in presenting the
treaties to the Senate said: las a

that the percentage Of those who love

Editorial Comment
The Maine Lobsters.
Rockland Courier-Gazette.)

(Rockland Courier GaZette.)
| II. d. erie, Names director of fish
cries, is believer in publicity so far
as the department is concerned.
Through the medium of his COM
munications he can make a direct ap-
| peal to the fishermen, and at the same
time post the public on matters of
which it would otherwise have a very
slight understanding. New England
newspapers frequently comment upon
Director Cries articles-not al
ways in concurrence, to be sure-but
generally find some sentiment with
which they are in hearty accord. The
| Hartford Courant has extended COM
ment on Mr.. Cries latest appeal for
conservation, concluding it's editorial
utterances thus:
1t is possible that the director has
overlooked a factor which contributes
to the increased catch of Holsters and
which has developed in the past
twenty years and that is the moter
boats. When men realized that the
engine which created and made useful
the automobile would propel boat
with as little trouble as it did a We
hcle they Immediately put engines
in the boats. Up to that time the
lobstermen had depended on sails
and oars and their activities were thus
limited but when the lohsterman mo-
toriZed his boat he became less de-
pendent upon wind and weather and
ne increased the area which he could
cover in a day and. so. added to the
number of traps or pots which he
could visit. 1t then occurred to him
that the same obligirg powe' which
sent his boat through tie water would
operate a winch by which he could
haul the traps from the water to his
| boat. That relieved him of much
hard work and further increased the
number of traps for which he could
care 1t was fine for the fishermen
but it tended to decrease the number
of Holsters. 1t is apparent that the
Maine commission realizes the situa-
ton and is doing what it can to pre-
vent the lobster from becoming an
extinct crustacean. One hopes he
may be succcssful: IL would be I'M
fortunate if the lobster should become
| q food for the very wealthy to the ex-
| clusion of the rest of the public.

More Cardinals for America
(ROSton Ira nscrintl

Though official confirmation is
lacking for the report that Pope Plus
II. plans to create two new American
cardinals at his first Consistory,
scheduled for next month, such action
on the part of the new pontiff would
not create undue surprise. The Ro-
man Catholic hierarchy abroad have
shown an increasing disposition to
appraise at its true value the import
ance Of the Catholic Church in the
United States, and they are quite
ready to appreciate the support given
to the Holy See by those Americans
who hold the Catholic faith. At the
recent conclave many of the cardi-
nails participating voiced their keen
regret that the rules of the conclave
made it impossible to postpone the
final vote until the arrival of the
American cardinals. These were not
perfunctory, but by all tokens We're
genuine expressions of regret. There
was real desire to have the Cath
Olics in America directly represented
in the deliberations of the conclave
of cardinals.
Why not two more cardinals for
the United States? If numbers do
not always mean everything, they
may, and usually do. mean much. Ac-
cording to the figures given by the
official Catholic directory for 1921.
the Catholic population in The United
States numbers 17,SS5,646, and the
clergy 2l,G43 Catholic Spain. with a
population of some 20,0O0,000 has sew
| en- representatives in the college of
| cardinals. On the basis of mere mum =
bers assuredly tho. United States is
| entitled to a greater number of car
dinals than two, and if Pope Plus XT.
assigns more red hats to America,
! it will constitute a merited recogni-
ton of the part that American Cath
olcs play in the affairs of the Cath
| Ollie world.
Whether American cardinals be two
or four or six in number may be a
matter for controversy. There can,
nevertheless, be little question that
the rules of the conclave should be
modified in order to give the Ameri-
can cardinals time to reach Rome be-
fore the final vote. In these days the
time required to go from New York
to Rome is at most but a few days
longer than from Ireland to Italy. In
a matter SO important as the election
of new Pope. surely the Catholics
of America are entitled to have their
representatives sit in the conclave.

Once the people alphabetically ac-

are likely to remark IL he disregards
the laws he was instrumental in

one disregarding the laws in the
assumption that these cannot be
made to reach up to him. They
would not have anyone. however dis
tinguissed because OF place. prefer
ment or peIf. immune from penal
ties for law breaking
When they see one disregarding
the speed laws because he thinks
the authorities will be afraid to ar
rest him. they are not inspired to
observe the speed laws themselves.
while some may think it foolish for
one 10 entertain the opinion that he
IL Just as good as the next fellow
nevertheless he ought to be Just as
good In the eyes OF the law. And if
his rights are not upheld by the law
and the powers assigned to the en-
forcement OF the law the laws won't
be respected.
II IL not conducive to respect for
law to have its only penalty fine.
The fellow with money pays and

can't pay and go. Great stress is
being laid on the amount OF fines
