CANDHI FLOUTS
FEAR OF REDS
IN FREE INDIA
For First Time Mahatma
Issues Statement Com
munism Not Likely.
By RALPH HEINZEN
United Press Staff Correspondent
CODyright. 1891. Nv United Press

Copyright, 1881, BY United Press
PARIS. Sept. 10. W.P)-The Ma
hatma M. K. Gandhi. apostle off
Indian freedom, proclaimed today
that the world has nothing to fear
from an independent India. His
country would not, he said, join
Russia in the spread of Commun-
ism through the world.
Gandhi, enroute to the round
table conference in London on IN
dia's future status, sent his mes
sage by radio to the United Press
from the steamer Rajputana, which
is carrying him to Europe. The
Rajputana was still 18 hours off
Marseilles at noon.
The utmost Importance was at
tached to his pronouncement, be-
cause Gandhi never before has in
dicated definitely his lack of SYM
pathy with Moscow.
Gandhi was asked by radio:
How does India hope to benefit
by independence? Is there dan
ger of Communism and the Sovie,
undermining Indian security in the
event of freedom?"
He replied as follows:
I'VE must not fear freedom, leas
of all if gained through non VIC
lence, which in itself is d shield
against subservience and propa-
ganda. India is not interested In
world Communism. She wants
only her own independence and
hopes to take her place among the
world powers, respecting the rights
of all others and maintaining her
own social and political standards. u

House Of Commons.
RAISE INCOME TAX
Deficit In British Budget
Must Be Met, Sn0wden
Tells COmmOners.

LONDON, Sept. 10. W.H-The
sacrifices which the British public,
from highest to lowest, will be called
on to make in the national financial
crisis were outlined to a tense and
crowded House of Commons today.
The floors and galleries were
packed to hear Philip Snowden. the
crippled chancellor of the exche-
quer, explain the salary reductions,
increased taxes and various econ0-
mics which the national coalition
government intends to put into
force.
The house fastened impatiently
through the proceedings. During
the customary question period, the
financial secretary of the treasury,
Major Walter Elliott, revealed the
interest that Britain is paying Oh
the recent S200000,0OO credit OBJ
tanned in New York. The interest
has been fixed at one per cent above
the federal reserve discount rate.
with a minimum of Az and a maxi
mum Of six per cent, he said. The
present New York rediscount rate Is
only 4 per cent, SO that the mini
mum is effective.
Snowden started his budget
speech at 1854 p. m. He said he was
facing the most disagreeable task Of
his life and he found 1t no pleasure
to call on the people to bear an adj
ditional burden.
Tells Deficit r.
THE nation for some time past
has been living beyond its means
and to a considerable extent on Its
capital" he said.
The government has decided that
borrowing for the unemployment
fund must cease. he announced.
The budget deficit which must be
met, Snowden said, is TATTOO, 600
pounds ($363 ,042 ,00O).
Snowden estimated the deficit for
next year at 170,0OO,0O0 pounds
1926, 100000, based on existing
taxation and expenditures.
The budget proposed 10000, 900
pounds (S34O, 200,000) in immediate
economies.
Snowden proposed to reduce the
sinking fund on the national debt
from 50,O00,000 pounds to $780,
600 pounds this year and next.

Possibility Seen Flyers

Island Or In Alaska.
COAST GUARD HUNTS
Report Says Drone Of
Plane Heard By Passen-
gers OF Ship Near Coast

SEATTLE, Sept. 10. U.P)-Fear
that the attempt of Don Moyle
and Cecil A. Allen TO fly from To-
kio to Seattle in second hand
monoplane had ended in the stormy
Pacific sent coast guard cutters
blowing the northern seas today.
More than 60 hours had elapsed
since the young flyers took off from
Sabishiro Beach. Japan, last Mon
day They had gasoline enough TO
keep aloft only 40 hours.
Only two explanations were
deemed possible. Either the City
of Tacoma II had been forced
down on one of the rocky Aleutian
Islands stretching like an arm into
the ocean, or on the Alaskan main
land, Or they had plunged to wat
cry graves.
Canadian provincial police had
been unable to verify rumor that
large monoplane had landed on
an island off the northern British
Columbia coast.
The flyers had expected to COM
plete their hazardous $500 mile
trans-Pacific flight about noon
yesterday. As the long night hours
passed without reports of them, the
Pacific was credited with having
claimed two more victims.
Long Search
In the event the flyers did land
near some isolated settlement. or
along some desolate island beach
1t might take a month or longer 70,
word of their safety to reach civil
iZation.
That possibility was the only
thing which kept hopes alive to-
day that some trace OF the flyers
might eventually be found.
Even that slim possibility has
been abandoned by persons who
know the Northern Pacific around
the Aleutian Islands and along the
Alaskan coast.

Bill On Capone

CHICAGO, Sept. 10. UP) - Tho
federal grand jury, specially charged
to determine if additional indict-
ments should be voted against
"Scarface Al" Capone, was dis
charged today without announcing
any action on the charge.
The grand jury's only action
against the Capone gang was the
voting of prohibition violation in
dictments against six of the gang
leaders henchmen last week. This
left outstanding against Capone
only the bills charging evasion of
income tax and conspiracy to vio-
late the prohibition laws.
