India Evokes Comparisons

The way Great Britain Is handling the disorders in
India created by Mahatma 0handi is somewhat in con-
trast to the stern repression which in days past in Ire
land. in India, in Egypt and South Africa used to be the
English practice for s~quelching sedNion and revolt.
Great Britain has been softened, however. and 1t pre-
.fers the velvet glove to the iron gauntlet with which it
used to snite the trouble maker. In other words, 1t now
policies such challenges to its authority instead Of treat
ing them with lead and powder and bayonet. So far no
one Is being blown from the muzzes Of cannon as in the
days Of the sepoy rebellion.
Perhaps the new way Is the better. It is q critical
situation with which the empire is called on to deal. In
It are the elements Of another great conflagration, not
30 much In the military sense as in the creation out Of
the rabid Indian nationalism Of q persistent and even in
eradicable racial hate which would render Britain's flu
ture rule Of the old Mogul empire a continued resort to
force. that Is, an experience very much like the final
period preceding the concession Of home rule to the pres
ent Irish Free State. That, 1t will be recalled, was a sue
cession Of guerilla revots with but brief lulls and with
barricade fighting In the streets Of the big cities that
would have been worthy Of Partisan instructions in the
restless Nineteenth century days Of France.
The present Indian disorder is reminiscent of our own
troubles in the Philippines following the Spanish Amer
lean war. The resentment out Of which Ghandi re-
cruits his followers Is deeper than that which the Fill
pinos felt, because 1t IS more inbued with nattonalism
sentiment, but the violence has not yet approached that
which Aguinsldo was able to foment. In q way. the les
ser disorder in India may be attributed to the policy
with which Ghandi has begun his agitation to shake off
British rule. He has counseled civil disobedience to
weary England. That has resulted in deadly riots and
may yet expand to actual warfare. That is why the sit
uation is so critical for England In India.
In armed suppression of midas unrest there is nothing
to gain that Britain has not already possessed. When
Arab Pasha started his rebellion in Egypt in 1882 It
served as the means Of fixing British rule firmly on the
land Of the ancient pharaohs-something that had not
existed heretofore. This is not the case In India. The
prospect Of loss is the thing there.
Whichever way the matter Is viewed, one sees only a
tcklish situation invested with grave peril to Britain,
not only in India, where British rule is at stake, but all
over the world, because Of the threat to British prestige
the moment it tns to yield in India. 1t may prove to
have been q striking piece Of folly to have trifled with
Indian feelings when the promise Of dominion rule for
the empire was sacrificed to selfish politics on the part
Of the home parties, playing the game Of parliamentary
intrigue like q Nero fiddling while Rome burned.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Blow on Head

Question: @. T. writes: An icebox
lid fell on my head a few months
ago, making me sick and dizzy at the
time. On the 4th day I saw the doc
tor about it and he said nothing was
wrong. There is q small lump on the
side Of my head and IL I massage It
1t seems to bring the pain to the sur
face and my forehead aches. I cor
sulated another doctor, and he tells
me he thinks there is q small blood
clot. If the X-ray shows this, what
do you advise me to do?"
Answer: II a blood clot has formed
on your brain I would advise q fast
Ing regime similar to that outlined in
my Cleansing Diet Course. It Is pos
stble, however, that you may have in
jured some Of the vertebrae in your
neck when the refrigerator lid fell on
you. This often occurs in accidents
to the head and may result in q sick
and dizzy feeling. I would advise you
to have q careful examination made
by some good osteopathic doctor.
Anemia
Question: o. D. asks: "What spe-
cial food II any should predominant

Answer: Only in exceptional cases
Is 1t unsafe for q woman to have q

no danger II the prospective mother
will train herself properly for this i'm
portant event. I have perpared q
special series Of articles dealing with

FarrO's Growth

North Dakota rejoices at the material gain in popula-
tion made by Fargo, the Gate City. Virtually every city
Ia the state the population Of which was IN excess OF
1850 in 1920 will show material gains.
Whls Bismarck's census figures are still unannounced,
e Is reasonable to hope that the Capital City will show
Is high II not the highest percentage Of growth Of any
city in the state. This is both . satisfaction and . chal-
1enge. A challenge to greater goals in the future: q sat.
lsfaction Of the great natural resources and the enter
prise Of its citizens that place Bismarck's growth in q
class BY itself.
I. Returning to Fargos growth. It has been consistent.
Nhere has been no boom, no attempt ct initiation, Just q
steady growth due to advantages peculiar to that section
81 the state and from which Fargo enjoys the legitimate
benefits.
II Is permissible at . time like this to speculate what
growth this state might have had were 1t not Tor some
Kinds Of legislation that have retarded progress.
North Dakota has keen competition from states which
have no income tax law: where industrial insurance Is
regulated upon q competitive basis: where the state Is en-
rared In no competitive business and where there are
certain constitutional limits upon taxation Of individuals
and corporations.
It Is not necessary to enter into the merits or dement's
e some legislative fads Of North Dakota, but the fact =
that several Of them have initiated against Is rapid .
mowth Is the states resources warranted.
Great industries have been located near our borders
which would have come within our confines mad the
laws been more lenient to the investment Of capital.
These and other issues are questions for serious con-
dderation Is North Dakota enters upon another decade
which Ill hope will surpass the one drawing to . close,
marked BY the taking Of the decennial census.
