Nevertheless, the active and popular
Nationalist movement among Hindu
intellectuals, manufacturers, merchants

Factors In ANY Peace.
The future peace of India, therefore,
depends on the view taken by Indian
popular leaders of the adequacy of
concessions secured by their country
men in London. Sir Tel Sapru and his
colleagues were very confident when
they left our shores that things would
60 well in India. Their confidence has
been justified in the events that fol-
lowed their arrival. The Irwin andhi
agreement is as much a triumph for
the wisdom, the craftsmanship and the
influence of moderate leaders as 1t
Is for the actual signatories Of the
Delhi pact.
When they reached Bombay, almost
all the influential popular leaders. in
Guiding Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru,
were in prison for sedition, and about
$4,000 Of their followers were under
lock and key. Then came the Delhi
pact. Political prisoners are now all
released, except those who have beSa
convicted of actual violence. Complete
tranquility has been restored. Civil
disobedience has been called of. The

Franklin and reached an agreement
which would have commended itself
to George Washington and all moder-
ate American leaders who were anxious
to avoid bloodshed. A temporary ac-
commodation would have been reached,
and If separation was inevitable in the
end, it would have come by mutual
consent and not as the result Of a
bitter war that left behind ranking
memories.
Such speculations are not altogether
barren conjectureS, for they have a
bearing on the situation in India to-
day. The Irwin Gandhi conversations
at Delhi following upon the successful
issue Of the round table conference IN
London have completely changed the
situation in India for the better.
The London conference represented
the Native Indian states and the most
potent Of the Indian princes attended
the deliberations in person and took
part In the proceedings. But these

Of India. The acknowledged leaders
Of Indian Mohammedans attended the
conference. That would account for
less than another fourth. Their chief
spokesman came to London to present
their case. The oppressed caste OF
Hinduism-the so-called untouchables-
were also represented at the conference
by one or two of their ablest leaders.
They number one-eighth. The ruling
castles Of Hinduism were represented by
certain princes and by moderate leaders

Remarkable Conference.
In some respects the Delhi CONVEX
sations constitute the most remarkable
political conference ever held in this
world. 1t is conceivable, perhaps, that
the Middle Ages may have produced
q conclave of rulers and medieval
monks which bore remote resemblance
to it-but I cannot recall anything
quite like it.
Gandhi has many of the characters

Dublin Seeks to Rival

DUBLIN, Ireland. --Itri is the ambition

sentatives from all these lands, cardi-
mails, bishops, priests, to the Eucharistic
hosting Of the new world. The con-
greSS OF Chicago was a thank Offering
for the BENEFITS Of the past and an
augury of great hope for the FUTURE

In the Cotton Markets

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-Cotton
was steady enough in the early trad
ing with prices 5 to points high
er. Later there was some decline
in other commodity markets and
cotton at noon was back to last
nights prices. Most of the selling
came from local traders and New
Orleans. There was good buying in
the near months.
The midday prices are about the
same as those existing on Monday
when the government estimate was
published. Instead of bringing out
southern selling as result of big
ger idea of the crop, the south
seems to be selling little or nothing
if we are to judge by the amount
of hedging from day to day.
We suggest buying cotton con-
servatively on declines. The burden
of the crop will begin to tighten as
the second half of the crop comes
on the market.
