GANDH| ENDS FAST
OF THREE WEEKS
Knows God Will Give Him
Strength for Whatever Is
Ahead, He Says.
BY the Associated Press.

POONA, India, May 2s.-"In Gods
name began this fast, and In Gods
name end It," said the Mahatma
Gandhi today as he broke . three-week
voluntary abstention from food In the
"untouchable" cause by slipping q glass
of orange juice.
He began the fast at noon May 8.
The end was as impressive as its begin
ming.
The Mahatma concluded his absti-
nence at 12:40 pm, and thus he was
wholly without food for weeks and 40
minutes.
Long before he broke his fast the
residence of Mime. Saro1ini Naidu, poet
and lecturer, where he was cared for,
was besieged by his friends of all castles,
Hindus, Mohammedans, Parsees and
Europeans.
Nine. Naidu stood at the top of the
stairway, relentlesslly selecting those to
be admitted. No credentials and no
amount Of money could obtain entrance.
Finally $50 men and women friends
and score Of newspaper men were
admitted into a big white hall. In q
smaller room, behind open glass doors.
the Mahatma lay motionless on a bed
with wet cloths on his head.
Beside him was half glass Of yellow
fruit juice. A faint cloud OF incense
rolled over the assembly.
Gandhi's bed then was brought into
the larger room, where he voicelessly
acknowledged the greetings OF all
present.
On declaring that his fast was ended
as 1t was begun, Gin Gods name" the
Mahatma continued: MY faith Is not
less. but more, on this occasion, and
sing the glory Of God.
IT cannot forget the doctors and my
other friends who poured attention on
me during the days of my privilege and
my grace. I cannot but refer to them
in these words. because their kind serv-
ice was part Of Gods mercy.
II have nothing but thanks to give
them. and God alone can give them o
fitting reward.
IT am glad the untouchables are here
with us. do not know what God ex-
poets from me now but whatever it may
be. I know he will give me strength
for It,"
The statement was dictated while his
secretary supported him, but the effort
was too much, and the Mahatma had a
recurrence Of nausea, from which he
has suffered recently.
After ceremony which included
Hindu and Parsee hymns and the sing
ing Of When I Survey That wondrous
Cross" by a small party of Christian
followers. Mrs. Gandhi handed him a
glass of fruit juice. which he took with
q trembling hand and raised to his
lips.
Gandhi's three weeks ordeal has left
its mark upon him. His eyes are
sunken. his cheeks emaciated and his
arms are thin.
A feature Of the ceremony was the
reading Of q poem by Rabindranath
Tagore, written for the occasion.

The Nazi poll was an increase of 323

The platform of the Danzig Nazis
resembles in broad fashion that of the
German national Socialist party, in
Guiding anti-Semitism, which has
caused Jewish business men to leave.
Victory Celebrated.
The Nazi victory made possible the
selection by the party of the new presi-

dent, the heads of the various govern
mental departments. Hermann Rausch-
ming Is slated as the Nazi choice.
Large crowds surged into the streets
last night to celebrate the victory. The
Free City itself was free from disorders,
but minor clashes were reported outside.
The duty of the Danzig Nazi party
recently was outlined by Albert Forster.

without violence, drop back into the lap

Will Enlist Help.
Besides seeking stabilized exchanges
and universally lowered trade barriers
at London, President Roosevelt's repre-

plish on worldwide scale what Is
already under way here.
The United States will endeavor to
enlist other nations in the bold price
raising program launched in this coun-
try by virtue of the Roosevelt monetary.
farm relief and industrial recovery
legislation.
Although there will be no attempt to
dictate details Of domestic measures to
foreign governments, the Roosevelt poll
cies are regarded here as requiring
either unified international action or a
new and mighty significant policy of
isolation in order that this country may
work out its domestic plan without in

equipping itself with legislative mea-

welded by the United States during
the conference Is yet to be forged, the

last night were that it would be two
edged. carrying authority for the ex-
ecutive either to raise tariffs or to lower
them. The President plans to send 1t

will require higher tariffs to protect

standard 1t would foster, but the Presi-
dent does not believe this necessary,
provided prices abroad are raised
equally with those here.
Other points in the American plan
are vast public works construction pro-
grams in all countries similar to the
steps being undertaken here, credit ex-
pansion through central bank action
along the same lines as the Federal
Reserve Banks purchase of Govern
ment bonds, and control OF production
Of basic commodities. wheat, for
example-by some such governmental
action as that made possible here by
the new farm relief bill.
These moves are aimed at simultane-
Gus worldwide attack on unemploy-
ment and low prices. Also emphasized
Is improvement in the price Of silver
