WORK Of COLUMBIA.
HOSPITAL PRAISED.
Big Drop in Infant Mortality
Rate Is Attributed
to Efficiency.

Columbia Hospital for Women was
highly praised last night by DR.. John
A. Foote, dean of the Georgetown Uni
versity School of Medicine, for the high
degree of efficiency it has attained In
its prenatal work. He was addressing
the regular meeting of the Monday
Evening Club In the Y. w. G. A.
DR.. Foote'S talk dealt mainly with the
recently published report of the Bureau
Of Efficiency on public health admins
tration in the District.
Mortality Rate Drops.
In the past 80 years, he said, the
infant mortality rate In Washington has
dropped from Q high of $50 per 1000
to low Of $40. This sharp decrease
was attributed to the fact that better
and cleaner milk and water are now
available for infants.
Public education on the matter of
prenatal care, he said, Is also re-
sponsible for the Improvement. He
pointed out that the infant mortality
rate in this city is much higher among
the colored population and In other
cities among the foreign element. He
urged that special effort be made to
educate colored people.
Report LIS Endorsed.
DR.. william Gerry Morgan, president
Of the American Medical Association,
also discussed the report In q general
way, indorsing its major recommended
tons.
In q general discussion following the
addresses, members of the club urged
immediate action to carry into effect
the recommendations in the report.
They pointed out that President Hoover
is keenly interested In child welfare and
would be apt to lend his support to any
undertaking designed to improve con-
ditions in washington.
The clubs annual banquet will be
held February II in the Mayhower
Hotel.

CANDHI SCARES
MUCH CAPITAL
OUT OF INDIA
Brrish Thrown Into Panic
BY Hindus' Demand for
independence.
BY MILTON BRONNER,
MA Service Writer.

LONDON, Feb. 81. - Mahatma
Gandhi. the shrunken little Hindu
whose worldly possessions are limit
ed 10 a loin cloth and simple cot
tape. has. with a few words, sent
stocks and shares tumbling down.
ward on the Bombay Stock Ex-
change and has started a flight of
frightened capital out Of India.
Gandhi has no money to manipu-
late the market. He has no official
position Of any kind. He Is not at
the head Of a great rebel army. Yet
he has given the Bombay exchange
heart failure, and his activities are
casting a new shadow over Britain's
cloudy industrial horizon.
Binds Followers
As head Of the Swaraj movement,
demanding absolute independence
for midas 3OO,OOO,OOO people,
Gandhi recently put through the
Independence resolution which
binds his followers not to pay taxes
and TO disclaim all responsibility
for debts incurred by the Indian
government.
Already. by inducing his followers
to stop buying British cotton, and
weave their own on hand looms in
stead. he has done enormous dam
age 10 the lancaster cotton weav-
ing industry.
Now he has caused something like
a panic in the Indian money and
investment marts. The public is
getting wary about investing money
in industrial enterprises, and hold
ers Of government securities are
dumping them on the market.
Claim Exploitation
The more belligerent Indians al
ways have claimed that Britain has
exploited India for British benefit,
controlling it's industries, draining
its resources and enriching BritonS
and not Indians.
British economists reply to this by
showing that British investors have
put more than $500, 100000 into
India-more than they have put in
any other country in the world.
This money has gone into Indian
government loans, into railways and
into various industrial companies
in India: and the result, the econ
omists assert, has been to give In
dia transportation and public works,
TO furnish employment for many
Indians and to make possible the
governments war on famine and
disease.
Point TO Imports
This is met by the Indians decla-
ration that they could carry on
great undertakings themselves-and
they point to the Bombay cotton
textile industry, and the great Tata
iron, steel and hydro-electric under
takings, all of native ownership,
They add, too, that India last year
bought over S4OO,OOO0OO worth of
goods from England.
So the argument goes, reverend
ing. Meanwhile GandhIS speeches
are putting the Indian financial
market in a bad way. And the
worried British sec more hard times
on the horizon.
