Saws MosIems Would Resist

Some idea of the problems that exist, in relation
to India, comes from the statement of Mohammed Ali
Jnnah, leader of 100000 Moslems, who says:
eff the British seek peace with the Congress
would consider that betrayal of the Moslems who
have been holding out helping hand to Britain"
He adds that, if the British set up Hindu gov
eminent of India, he would advise the Moslems to
resist, "even if the British shot me down."
The Moslem leader asserted that he had offered
cooperation TO the British when the began but that
the Congress held back and consequently the British
have been continually placating the Hindus"

ton centered the approaching election be diss
pated by the Congress.

history to the department of justice.
And the way the advance informal
ton came into the hands of our in
telligence officers was this:
While the Germans had their pact
of friendship with Russia, Nazi
agents were busy making friends
with Communists all over the world
in the hope that they could use them
for subversive activities. The Com
munists naturally did not turn a
deaf ear and Hitler's agents told all.
Then came the double cross, Ger
many attacked Russia, and Com
munist and Nazi who had always
hated each other thoroughly gave
vent to their real feelings. The
plans which the Nazis had confided
to the Communists were turned over
to the governments of the United
Nations.
The United States also had been
picking up little information about
the German sabotage methods in
other ways-such as by planting a
man or two in the German Gestapo.
These men learned, from one
source or another, that the Germans
had hired safe crackers in this coun-

DRINKS

Whiskey distillers have made
a notable offer to the Office
of Pro luction Management When
asked TO change so per cent OF
their capacity + TO the pro
duction OF alcohol for explosives,
they countered with proposal 10
change their entire capacity to
production war use. This
would release about a million tons
OF sugar for other uses.
The attitude of the distillers is
attributed to patriotism bolstered
by a back log supply of liquors
sufficient for five years.
The OPM takes the distillers'
proposal under Amusement and
at the same time curtails pro-
duction and sale OF soft drinks
because OF sugar shortage.
Little has been said or written
about the rationing OF harmless re-
freshments but there appears a
bit. OF skip-and-jump logic in the
planning which so obviously over
looks the welfare OF young people
who seek entertainment in places
where both types OF drink are
usually available.
The answer to this seemingly
thoughtless adjustment, which ap-
pears to favor keeping a good sup
ply OF liquor on the market is yet
10 come. 1t involves a good many
political and business cons.dera-
tons. Meantime credit goes to
the distillers for volunteering
more cooperation than the gov
eminent asked.
Some laugh at the idea OF credit,
declaring one reason distillers
agreed to go the whole way on
production for defense was prob
ably that they wouldn't trust each
other to adhere to the 60-40 per
centage. Full time defense pro-
duction is easier TO check. That's
the gossip, but IL has nothing TO
do with results. Regardless of
the motive, the result OF full time
defense production will mean not
only a big saving OF sugar. but an
eventual shortage Of liquor. That
means more importing and more
bootlegging-two things the gov
eminent must think about before
making final decisions.
II curtailment OF liquor produc-
ton would mean less intoxication.
fewer drunken drivers on the
highways, less OF the evils OF In
toxication in general. most gov
eminent officials would probably
favor IT, The issue does not end
there. however. II reaches into
business circles and brings up the
question OF balance between dis
tillers and soft drink manufac-
turers.
II may wind up with elimination
OF soft drinks as we'll as intoxi-
oants, a swing back 10 the idea
that water is good for quenching
thirst, with possible emphasis on
coffee or some other substitute
that will require less sugar and al
the same time provide an incen-
tive for pleasant table conversation.

I'm inclined to doubt II.
NV impression is that critics OF

generality of folk are converts TO
the proposition that vast conflicts
are a certainty. about every so

Will be entitled to notice in the
long run. World War II Is an
easier name to call 1t by.
But is 1t going to be possible to
establish everlasting peace at the
end Of II?
That was what was tried before
and there was considerable hope
fulness that II could be accom-
plished. This time l don't believe
that there's much such hopefulness.
Anyhow. it surely won't be at
tempted by the same method a.
the one we and. some Of the 9th
powers experimental with in u
1920's.
The idea then was al-around
disarmament.
Its advocates meant exceedingly
well. Their theory was that the
nations not only wouldn't but
couldn't fight II they hadn't any
equipment TO fight with.
Knives and Pitchforks
A very small scattering Of
statesmen argued that they always
would be able to scare up carving
knives and pitchforks for warlike
purposes. If they felt like fighting
that disarmament wouldn't do
the business; that the only correct
system was to cure them Of the
desire to take the warpath.
The odd thing was that the gen.
uine pacifsts were the ones who
didn't think that disarmament
alone would cure them.
They didn't, though. suggest any
convincing sounding alternative
remedy for the disease, so the in
herently pugnacious outfit admin
istered theirs-the disarmament
dose. And look how it's worked!
OF course, one difficulty was that
the Axis bunch Of today didn't
take the disarmament dope that
was prescribed for them. They
