1T SEEMS TO ME BY HB BRO9S

XK7HEN Gandhi first began his
w campaign of non-resistant OPP
position to British rule, there were
those who applauded him and those
who Scoffed. Only few felt that
there was anything practical and
potentially victorious in the effort
Almost the best that was said by
friends on this side of the water was
that the frail old man was making
a gallant gesture. And even this
somewhat patronizing support was
limited to a tiny minority.
From right and left the Indian
leader was riddled. The Commu-
nists called him a milksop, because
he fought without benefit of bombs,
and to the Conservative he was a
crank and possibly calculating
faker.
But Gandhi has won. The fact
can not be denied. It is true that
any settlement now in sight will be
less sweeping than his desire. But
nothing can be done now that does
not mark an advance over the
tyranny against which he fought.

The People Are solid

by all the rules, we should have
- had rioting before this, and by
all the rules we would have had it
but for the decency of our people.
Heaven knows there has been
suffering enough and disappoint-
ment enough. If our people had
been that kind, they could have
found plenty of reasons to raise
cain.
They aren't that kind, and moth
ing proves it so wildly as what they
are going through and the way
they are enduring it.
Like many another, used to be
alarmed at the chronic boilover of
discomfort, used to imagine that il
might mean real danger in the face
Oh some crisis. I'm all over it.

faith completely in the average
American, who seems to know when
it's safe to holler and when it's
time to shut up.

There to See

] llSIG W OGG
DUT now the truth lies spread
~ out for us to understand and
assinilate. No power of gun or
court or prison is great enough to
extirpate the pressure Of an idea.
It is a literal truth, and not mere
sentimentality, which holds that
the meek are capable Of conquest
Issues always are clcuded when
shots ring out.
Only gangsters and imperialists
believe that problems can be set
tied with a rat-tat-tat-tat.
Limitations have been placed by
some observers upon the wisdom of
Gandlli and upon the scope of his
intelligence. Those who find him
marred by caste consciousness and
naive belief in the hand loom as
an instrument Of salvation may be
quite correct.
To me it seems fairly trivial if
he is wrong-headed about many
things, since he has demonstrated
that he is so overwhelmingly right
about one.
With a wave Of the hand he
could have set civil war in mo-
ton, but he did not. He could
have massed his millions into fu-
tile and bloody frontal attack upon
intrenched battalions.
He might even have been seduced
by the notion of attempting to set
himself up as an Oriental Napoleon.
But he was wiser.
"The little old man wore only
his usual homespun loin cloth and
a thin cotton shawl over his sfloul-
ders. He was thin and worn"
quote from newspaper dispatch
describing the Indian leader as he
was smuggled out of jail by the
authorities and driven to tiny
railroad station late at night.
To our eyes the picture is some
what ludicrous. And even those who
must realize that the fight of
Gandhi is no laughing matter may
have some sense that this frail fig
ure in a shawl seems pathetic when
contrasted with the might, the
power and the pomp Of the British
Empire.
But the fact remains that Ma
hatma Gandhi broke the British
square. Lines which had held
against gas and guns and tanks
were powerless to stop the crusade
Of one who wisped against them,
carrying in his hands no weapon but
conviction.

In Any Land

1T may be said that such things
Il can occur only in land where
modernity has tread but lightly.
We of the western world have
staked our hope of survival upon
more tangible things than phil
osophy.
In the Bethlehem of our creation
great chimneys rear their heads and
molten metal bubbles.
Our aspirations have been ex.
pressed in tall towers for which we
have coined the erroneous term sky
scrapers. It is erroneous, for there
still extends a vast domain beyond
the top of the tallest turret.
And it is true that even above the
din of riveting and the flow of
commerce a still small voice can be
heard and must prevail.
To each land there will come in
its hour of need some little man,
and he will flip aside with scornful
finger all vast iniquities of brass and
iron.

music does she excel, for her

perhaps more success than any

The supporting cast is superb.

dramatic gem. Albert Gran as
