Solve Storage Problem

OONNN
If every homemakcr in tho
United States would buy a large
sack of -four now. II is estimated
that nearly half the new wheat
crop could be stored in hoSne
granaries.
This would solve the storage
problem and save millions OF
bushels of wheat from spelling

a humanitarian thing TO do.
Grenaries Are Filled
Yes, this condition is contrary
to that during World War |.
However, the bumper wheat
crops of the last few years have
filled not only the farmers
granaries, but also the elevators
and mills so that now. when this
country's shipments abroad are
restricted. wheat and flour are
stacking up.
How long will flour keep with

'UntouchobIes' Take Stond
Against British Proposals
$4,000 900 Add Bulk Against Indian
Settlement Proposals Of Sir Grips

LONDON, April 3 - up -
Leaders of midas 100000
"untouchables" added tn cir
voices today TO the chorus of
opposition TO British proposals
for settlement of the Indian in
dependence issue,
dispatches from New Delhi
quoted DR.. Bhimrao Ambdedkar
and Nj. c. Raja, spokesman for
the "untouchables, as saying
the proposals ARE calculated to
do great harm to the depressed
classes and are sure TO place
them under an unmitigated sys-
tenn of Hindu rule"
Such catastrophe" they
added, will be resisted by all
means at our command"
SCORE SUGGESTION
At the same time the standing
committee of the All-India
States peoples conference adopt
ed resolution characterizing
the British plan as utterly
harmful and injurious TO the
cause of freedom, both in :he
states and in India as whole"
and pledging resistance to the
utmost.
Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, for
mer president of the powerful
congress party, which already
has rejected the plan, presided
over the committee meeting.
In London these developments
dimmed hope for a satisfactory
solution which had been raised
when Sir Stafford Grips, Brit
iSh government envoy, poStpon
ed his scheduled departure from
New Delhi next Monday in or
der to talk further with Indian
leaders.
An announcement, m n
while, that Grips had confer
red at noon today with General
Sir Archibald p. Wavell, Brit
ish Commander in Chief in In
dia, lent color to reports that
Wavell might take hand in fu-
ture discussions with Congress
party leaders.
DEFENSE IN ISSUE
1t was understood that one of
the Congress party's objections
to the British proposals was
that direction of India's defense
would remain entirely in Brit
iSh hands.
Wavell's opinion as to wheth-
er he could properly direct the
defense of India if Indian Of
ficials were given share in
the responsibility undoubtedly
would have % strong influence
on the British war cabinets dis
position to modify this stipula-
ton.
