ravs OF hope. he will mot hesitate TO
call upon the people to bear any amount
of suffering" That challenge can be reao
in two ways. The Mahatma may be re-
ferrirg to suffering by the passive re-
sistance route, or the suffering tnat
would ersue if India to any considerable
degree risked the folly of trying to cast
off the British yoke by force OF arms
BY a coincidence which may have
been something more than accloent'
Prime Minister Macdonald was issuing
at Iossiemouth, Scotland, statement
on India at almost the same hour
Gandhi was speaking in Bombay Mr.
Macdonald, who has long ranked as
Nationalist India's chiefest hope In
Great Britain, did not mince words IN
describing conditions there as most
deplorable. He denounced separatlst
agitation of the Gandhi brand in vigor-
GUS terms. The premier recognizes the
legitimacy of the aspirations OF "a oat-
fed and oppressed India struggling to be
free" But he has no patience with "a
mischievous movement trampling in
its own self-will upon Indian progress" !"
Mr.. Macdonald refers to recent disor-
ders in the northwest frontier province
and in Bengal.
British opinion, in the United
States and elsewhere, will be inclined TO
see full reason in the prime minister's S
lament that the Indian Nationalists
should give themselves over to excesses
at the moment the London government
is making herculean efforts to find So
luton of the Indian problem. Mr..
Macdonald reminds the Gandhi group
that no British cabinet ever struck out
more faithfully or constructively in the
direction Of settlement than the re-
gime which the present premier has
led during the past three years.
When the Inflated round table ended
a few weeks ago Mr.. Macdonald stated
with the full approval of the House OF
Commons, and not for the first time,
that India might some day acquire SELF
governing dominion status under the
new st .tute of Westminster-that is,
with complete legislative independence
of the British Parliament. Gandhi is
dissatisfied with this limited and pre-
scribed freedom for India. Unless q
miracle comes to pass, it is all he can
hope for, even if the fiery ordeal" he
would avoid is precipitated by him and
his disgruntled followers.

Labor Defeat I'm Australia
Classed With That I'm Britain

worldwide depression, to rehabilitats
the national finances were futileH
1t is not likely that in Australia the
Laborltes have suffered quite the eclipse
which they seemed to have experienced
in England. Before the Scullin victory
of two years ago they had thirty-one
members in the House. at the outset
of the period Of their government they
had forty-six; now they have sixteen.
They are out and 'nationalism' is tri-
umphant, but there is no indication
that their power has been broken in
any decisive or permanent way"
Development of resentment among
the voters is emphasized by the New
York Sun, which sees, as the reason,
"the governments attempt to compel
the banks to make available $4,000
900 for unemployed and farm relief,
in addition to the S80,0000 900 they had
undertaken to provide to balance the
budget" The Providence Journal holds
that "the financial adversities which
finally necessitated guarantees by the
British government that Australian
financial obligations would be met
cause a wave of deep dissatisfaction to
sweep the country"
In spite Of the opposition OF Labor
radicals records the Philadelphia Eve
ming Bulletin, "a program of rigid
economy was made effective in both
the states and commonwealth this year
and debt-carrying charges were re-
duced by successful conversion loan.
But last month the government was
defeated by the union OF some of its
own recalcitrants with the opposition
and the country has now turned Labor
out. Prime Minister Scullin, in a po-
sition of great difficulty, has made
sincere effort to make effective finan-
cial reform and economies He was
hampered by the wild men of his own
party and Labor's unity was weakened
by factional and personal quarrels. The
party, as a whole, has paid the penalty
for its positive offenses against sound
economic policy and for its general in
effectiveness in a time of stress"

Creely's Arctic Work
Stirs Blood of World

From the Portland oregon Daily Journal.
Gen. Adolphus w. Greely, 88 years
old, erect, hale and hearty still after
half century, steps out of his ro-
mantle past to become again identified
with plans for Arctic exploration.
The news grips the imagination and
StirS the blood.
Fifty years ago Gen. Greely, then
lieutenant in the United States Army,
led party of "a other intrepid men
into the deSolate Arctic regions. Three
years later, after terrible privation and
hardship, Gen. Greely and six of his
party were taken aboard a rescue ship
at Cape Sabine. Eighteen of the party
had starved or frozen to death because
they could not notify civilization of
their plight when an expected relief
ship failed to reach them. Despite
their suffering the survivors continued
to make meteorological observations up
to 40 hours before their rescue. They
had taken from the British the far
thest north record, held for 300 years.
The ill-fated Greely expedition Of
188l-84 looms heroic, grim and stark
IN the annals OF early Arctic discov-
cries.
Now Gen. Greely is cooperating in
an advisory capacity with Capt. Flavel
M. Williams, who with 20 men will
sail in June to spend two years at
Fort Conger, Ellesmere Island, north
ernmost land on the globe, where the
Greely party Wntered
Significant of civilizations progress
during Gen. Greely's life span, Capt,
Williams expects to be in constant
communication with the United States
by radio, and hopes to fly in compara-
tive luxury over the ice fields across
which the Greely survivors dragged
their toll and hunger weakened bodies
toward their rescuers.
Modern ingenuity and science have
conquered the poles and unlocked
many OF the secrets of the Arctic and
Antarctic regions, but modern con-
quests fail to dim the glory of the
achievements and the sacrifices of the
Gen Gfeeiys and the Capt. Scots
and their brave companions who
pioneered into the treacherous un-
known and blaZed the trails.

Moscow Builds Streets,
Parks and Fairgrounds,

Soviet Econimic Review, MOSCOW
The paving of $4,000 square meters of
Moscow streets was completed by the
end of october. The plan had called
for the paving of $4,000 square meters.
In connection with the extensive plant
ing of trees and shrubs throughout the
city, 266,000 trees and over a million
shrubs were planted within period of
six weeks. More work was accomplished
in this respect than in the SO years prior
to the November revolution, and fully
as much as in the ID years since. More
than $4,000 persons volunteered their
services to help achieve the program.
Among the incidental accomplish
ments are IL new squares and childrens
Fairgrounds near some of the largest

One-Way Streets Bring
Protests of Merchants.

Evening Times, Glasgow ex-
perts are Of the opinion that one-Way
streets have in many cases solved the
congestion problem, but in London at
least there has been an unexpected re-
suit of the one-way method At the
Eastern end of New oxford street, where
begins the great shopping avenue, the
traffic flows in a solid stream toward
the west, while the east-bound traffic
is diverted through another thorough
fare. Now the shopkeepers in the sec
ton of the street affected are voicing
their grievances loudly and claiming
that as q result of the one-way innova-
ton their takings have fallen by any
thing from 20 to SO per cent. No
passengers are now set down on one
side OF the street by the buses. while
those alighting on the other side are
afraid to dare the crossing.

Cosnoic Speculation,

One of these days, there's not doubt,
The coal supply will have given out.
We don't say when, but the time Will

When carbon is dearer than radium.
1t makes you shudder and hold your
BREATH
One of these days we must freeze 10

One of these days, in blank despair,
We will look on landscape parched
and bare.
Where once the forest so nobly stood
There won't be enough for hndling
wood.
Well pant expiring and sore dismayed
One of these days for the lack OF shade.
But in one of these days in ages past
This old world whirled in fiery blast.
Yet it slowly tempered its atmosphere
And we journeyed from somewhere
else to here.
So, maybe, when we can't keep the
pace,
Wen move from here to some other
place.

New Zealand and

Honolulu AdyertiSer.-TWelve-y year
old Arthur Keeping of Auckland, New
Zealand, has new friend thousands Of
miles away from his home. So, for
that matter, has Robert Young, one Of
the junior police officers at the Lincoln
School.
It came about this way. The post
office department found letter from
New Zealand addressed to Amy Boy
Q2) Who Speaks English, Honolulu,
Hawaii" The post office people sent
it up to Lincoln School. Robert who is
II, was on duty at the principals office.
The principal turned the letter over
to Robert to answer, and he did so,
with the result that in an interchange
of letters the pupils of Std. 5 at Welles-
ley Street School in Auckland will learn
more about Hawaii than they know now
and those in the sixth grade at Lincoln
School here will undoubtedly get a
more intimate knowledge of rugger, and
cricket and other British games.
