There is a parallel between
the situation in this world war
and the last one. In the first
world war, as in this one, India
contributed over 1000, 900 sold
iers to the Allied cause.
In that war, as in this one,
they served in many sectors -
Europe, the Near East, Irak,
Africa.
After two years of passivity,
then as now, the All-India Con-
gress suddenly demanded vast
political concessions. To satisfy
Indians, the British announced
a program which in April, 1918,
was denounced by the All-India
Congress as totally inadequate.
Dec. %, 1919, the Montagu-
Chelmsford report was intro
duced in Parliament, granting a
so called Indian parliament,
which was opened at Delhi, in
February, 1921. 1t satisfied no.
body.
There followed an examina-
ton of the India problem by a
Parliamentary commission and
two Round Table Conferences,
attended by representatives of
Britain and the Indian people.
At the Round Table Conference
of 1881, Prime Minister RAM
say Macdonald presided. Win
ston Churchill bitterly attacked
the whole procedure. He warn
ed Parliament that they were
heading towards a total loss of
India.
FEDERAL STATE
WAS OBJECTIVE
In 1885 the government put
through a bill that gave India
beginning of self-government,
with native legislature, premier
and cabinet. The ultimate objec-
tive was declared to be federal
state, which would include, not
only British India, but the hum
dreds of big and little native
states ruled by the independent
princes.
The British Governor General
was to retain in his hands only
the defense of India and India S
foreign relations.
Churchill announced he would
fight the bill paragraph by para
graph, line by line. He did ex-
actly that. But the bill became
law. In the elections, the ALL
India Congress captured z of the
II provincial legislatures and ran
the governments. But they re-
signed when the Viceroy, without
consulting them, took India into
the present war.

Copies of the dollar-a-year

committee investigating Nation
al Defense. That committee,
headed by Senator Truman 3D.
MOI, asserted last month that the
system was hamperinC the war
effort because dollar-a-year men,
on loan from industry, were par
ticipating in decisions affecting
their own business interests.
Nelson declared it was impos-
sible for some experts to sever
their business connections be-
cause of heavy financial obliga-
tons, but in ordering the check
up, he ruled that no dollar-a-
year man could hold position
if an equally qualified person
could be found on regular gov
eminent salary basis, and none
could make decisions affecting
his own company.
Nelson also stipulated: Each
appointee must be an American
citizen of high integrity apd
good moral character, of out
standing experience and ability,
qualified for a responsible adj
ministrative, technical, consult
ing or advisory position, and in
receipt of earned income from
his current non-governmental
employment at rate Of at least
SIS, 600 a year."
Truman wrote Nelson that his
action should "go far to lessen
the evils inherent" in the dollar
a-year system.

WASHINGTON why don't
the British, who desperately
need the cooperation of the ma
tives, give the Indians independ-
ence and have done?" That's a
frequently-asked question.
1t isn't as simple as that. In
dia's 360,000,000 people are split
into rival, often antagonistic
racial, religious, political and
economic groups. What kind of
"self-government" will please all
these factions?
For instance, the All-India
Congress, led by Mahatma Gand-
hi and Pandit Nehru, fights for
independence or, failing that,
something like dominion status,
with government in the hands
of the people. The All-India
Congress is comprised of people
of the Hindu religious faith. But

there are 100000 Moslems in

ment which would make them a
hopeless minority in a sea Of
Hindus.
MOSLEMS FEAR
HINDU DOMINANCE
Moslems happen to include
some of the best fighting races of
the country, who have always
stood by the British and filled
the ranks of the Indian army.
The Sikhs, another fighting race,
are Hindus, but are linked up
with a religion different from
the one the bulk of Hindus prac-
tice.

Southwest's Indians
To Stage CeremoniaIs
With Wartime Flavor
Call Of Young Braves
To CoIors Lends Martial
Note to Exhibitions

SANTE FE, N. Mex, Feb. al
Although q surprisingly large num-
Der Of New Mexico's Indians have
responded to the needs Of the
country's war effort, there will be
no decline in the magnitude and
the color Of their strange, religious
ceremonials, according to the New
Mexico State Tourist Bureau
AS many Indians have volun-
teered for service in the armed
forces as have been inducted
through Selective Service, but this
activity is limited chiefly to younger
men Of the various tribes, leaving
the elders to carry on tribal dogma
and rituals.
Supplications to the gods for SUI
flcient rain, a good harvest and an
abundant life will continue among
the Pueblos, the Navajos and the
Apaches on q seasonal cycle Just
as they have since long before the
white man entered New Mexico
over 400 years ago.
War Reflected In Rites.
Some of the ceremonials have
already taken on more warlike
attituAe, reminiscent Of the days
when the frontier represented a
continual struggle against the white
mans encroachment on the In
dams habitual abode. Those from
tier differences have long since been
settled, and today the Indians of
New Mexico call upon the war gods
to wreck their vengeance upon a
common enemy, which threatens
the security Of land which they
still occupy and cherish.
1t is probably for that reason
that the spectacular Comanche
dance, an ancient hunting and war
ceremonial, has been seen more
often this year among the Pueblos.
Other war dances probably will be
in evidence throughout the ritu-
alistic year, but on the whole the
religious calendar will follow the
seasons.
Special ceremonies, beginning as
early as February, serve to greet
the spring-the start of a new sea-
son. Following in logical sequence
will come the colorful rituals Incl
dental to the cleaning and opening
Of irrigation bitches, and then the
planting dances and shinny games.
In May comes the blessing of the
fields, in a ceremony strangely
mixed with the pagan and Chris
tian. Sacred corn pollen is sprinkled
over the fields by the tribal priests
while the image Of the patron saint
is carried in reverence alongside.
From planting until harvest time,
the Pueblo Indians, particularly
have numerous ceremonials to call
upon the gods for bountiful crops
and for the all-important rain. Not
even war can upset this regulated
pattern in keeping with the laws OF
mother earth"
Navajos Schedule Rites.
More than year ago the Navajos
Of Western New Mexico adopted
resolutions to stand by and to de-
fend 'our Government" and more
recently this, the worlds largest
tribe, asked for separate military
training camp to be located on the
reservation for their exclusive use.
But among this tribe, too, the
demands of an aI-out war effort
will not interrupt such institutions
as fire dance, the mountain chant,

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Feb. al
Beachwear styles at Miami Beach,

Refusing to take middle of the

of vivid colorings or just plain black
The rubber shortage is having its
effect on beachwear, too, and one
sees more jerseys and sharkskins
than suits made of elastic mate
rials.
Most popular colors in bathing
suits are green's, reds and yellows,
with contrasting or matching color
accessories.
