In conclusion, it declared that the
present government was lacking in
competence" to undertake defense
and 'it is only the people of India,
through their popular representa-
tives who may shoulder this burden
worthily"
Only "the realization Of present
freedom could light the fame" OF
Indian defense, the statement said.
On the other hand, the Moslem
League, while expressing gratifica-
ton that pakistan, the right of Mos
lem autonomy, had been recognized,
complained that the proposals did
not go far enough and that a Mos
lem majority or large minority in
the provinces would be dominated
by Hindu assemblies.
Resentful of U. S. Attitude.
AS the negotiations thus came to
their bitter conclusion, disquieting
feature was noted by observers in
the deterioration of opinion which
nationalist leaders hold toward
America.
These leaders resented the atti-
tude Of the American press, which
they considered ill-informed and
patronizing They also resented
what they thought was widespread
feeling in America that once Louis
johnson, President Roosevelt,s spe-
cial minister. came to New Delhi all
tangles would automatically disap-
pear.
Indian congressman were now
talking OF American imperialism as
being more dangerous than British
imperialism because American i'm
perialism. they said, was not based
on territorial acquisition but upon
commercial supremacy and was
more up-to-date and streamlined."
Remarks such as America wants
to step into India economically"
were heard everywhere.
Moslem League Suspicious.
However, ill-informed and ingenu-
GUS these Indian impressions might
be, their effect was to worsen rela-
tions between America and India.
What the upshot of the situation
would be was difficult to say
Many observers predicted an i'm
mediate worsening of relations be-
tween the Hindus and Moslems.
The MoSlem League long has been
suspicious of the predominantly
Hindu Congress and is now con-
vinced that the Congress party will
never give Moslems square deal.
The Moslem League may therefore
make every effort to intensity Is
lamic feeling and organize it on a
positive anti-Hindu basis.
Although Sir Stafford said the
proposals he brought had been with
drawn, the British governments

the name means little to you Once he
was a sensational prizefighter Later he

of the world, true sportsman and gentle

what Joe Louis Is, he became because of
Jack Blackburn.
That is why thousands gathered to pay
final tribute Wednesday to the skinny

color, environment and background, and
so his victory was all the greater.
In later years, Jack Blackburn never

WHY WE ARE RATIONED

The American people are indulg-
ing in unrealiSm today which Is
going to add to the unpleasantnesS
of tomorrow. Even after Pearl Har-
Dor, Bataan, Singapore, Burma, we
insist upon pampering ourselves
with the narcotic of wiShful think
ing
Specifically, to take current il
Illustrations, there are. the matters
of automobiles and of sugar.
With all that has been said and
written, the average man still APP
pears to believe that the tire short
age will be relieved soon by huge
output of synthetic rubber; that
there is no need for severe reStric-
ton upon gasoline, and SO this
will be lifted as soon as few
dunder-heads in Washington have
been rebuked scathingly.
The same is true of sugar. We
have been told, truthfully, that
enough sugar is available to fill
our national sweet tooth to over
flowing There are stories, believed
if not true, that in Puerto Rico
sugar cane is rotting uncut. Ergo,
we are t.ing victimized by some
bureaucrat in the capital.
The Lord knows there are bu-
reaucrats enough on the Potomac.
But that is another story. which
doesn't affect the bald. unpleasant
truth.
Tire, gasoline, sugar are banned
Or rationed because there is no
other way of beating Hitler and
the Japs. In all probability they
will be banned, or rationed until
the war is over.
He who plans on any other basis
is blowing soap bubbles of the
flimsiest type. He'll be very sad
when they burst
Everybody realizes that tires are
cut off because we cart get rub
Der to make more. AS for syn
We're SO short of steel, already,
that we're struggling to keep arm
ament and munitions production
booming. We are forced to divert
some of that steel to construct
plants in which to make enough
synthetic rubber for military use
Is it sensible to suppose that
any sane government will pull
more steel out of war production
just so we can have tires for plea
sure automobiles?
Everybody knows this country has
more petroleum than we can use
for generations to come.
But neither crude nor even
gasoline helps unless it can be
brought to our filling stations. War
use and sinkings have depleted oul
tanker fleet. The railroads are
handling all the oil and gasoline
they possibly can.

AXIS WEAKNESS

The news dispatches tell of growing
unrest among peoples of the occupied
countries of Europe, and even among
the peoples Of the Axis countries them
selves. We ought to be cheering, but
somehow we can't.
Too many of the dispatches originate
from within the Axis nations They
wouldn't come out if the Axis censors
didn't approve them. Why do the censors
pass these stories?
Well have to know the answer before
we cheer too loudly over stories of in
cipient revolt among the people under
the Axis thumb. Well want to know, for
e instance, whether the stories are clrculat-
ed by Axis propagandists with the inten-
ton of:
Lulling United Nations peoples into
a feeling of false security in order TO
slow down war production.
Luring the United Nations into pre-
mature and possibly costly offensive
while the Axis still maintains superior
ity.
Turning the eyes Of the United Nations
strategists away from some vital spot
where Hitler plans his next move.
Nr~turinc over-confidence among the
United Nations, so that future severe
blows will damage public morale to
greater extent.
These things we'd like to know before
we accept at face value the conclusion
that the Axis is ready to crumble from
within at the slightest blow.
For now, we're sticking to the belief
that there's mighty tough fight ahc ID
still, and it's going to take some hard
effort to win it.

GLORIFYING
YOURSELF
BY ALICIA HART
NEA Service Staff Writer

There's been so much public talk
lately. about clarifying ourselves for
men in uniform that we've lost sight
Of what seems to me to be at least
as pertinent a point. 1t is that a
new couture and lipstick can be
mighty useful to a woman in over
coming that nobody likes me feel
ing which may follow her being
separated from husband or beau or
son by the war.
Fortunately we still have enough
of the essentials CT beauty stuff
to use it reasonably without a guilty
conscience. Uncle Sam has asked
the cosmetic industry TO help
streamline-nott to prepare to elm
inate-beauty aids. The American
woman's world-famed good groom
ing seems definitely slated to stay
with us.
1t may seem like a pretty frothy
idea, but it's psychologically sound;
when the Man of our Life goes
away. and especially when he does
not vet face the immediate dang
ers of fighting, your are very like
" to slip into a slight depression;
and you're equally likely to climb
cut of it simply by means of little
self Improvement campaign. Unless
she's quite unusual, woman'S
spirits lift quickly when her APP
pearanceS improves.
TRY GETTING
MORE SLEEP
So. if you're affected by separa-
ton doldrums. why not work out
a system for looking better?
Put your supper ca a tray and
take it to bed with you, just once.
and turn eff the lights at nine and
get nine or ten hours sleep just
once. Or, 90 to a swimming pool
instead of to a movie. And, set
aside at least part of one day of
this very week for finding a really
becoming new colt. a really right
for-you lipstick
The healing and strengthening
effects Of these trivial things on
the lonely heart are quite aston
ishing. And one other thing those
short haircutS make you feel
