pie to visit New York economically.

wide variation in room occupancy.
I cannot just say to you that such
and such a hotel will give you q
room at given price any time
you come here. can and do say
that out Of so or more hotels can

OUR MOTHER
Dedicated to the memory of Ida Eliza
beth Dunton

Who was it, through our youthful
years,
That soothed our hearts, and dried our
tears,
And banished all our childish fears?
It was our precious Motheri
She taught us early, at her knee,
The simple prayer, "Now lay me-"
And taught us truth and honesty;
Our gentle, Christian Mother.
She sang, although her eyes were wet,
When troubles came, or cares beset;
And seldom did she ever fret
so patient was our Mother.
She labored on, day after day,
Without a thought of praise or pay;
Almost too tired at night to pray
Our sacrificing Mother.
Her life, though one of toll and care,
Was rich in praise, and faith, and
prayer,
And cheerfulness beyond compare;
Thank God for such Mother!
These words are so inadequate
Her many virtues to relate;
IT'S better that we emulate
The fine traits of our Mother.

WHAT ABOUT INDIA?

India has approximately 34ooooOoo persons with
in its boundaries A columnist writing for an East
ern United States newspaper came forth the other
day demanding that the best thing the British can
do right is to these 34o,OOOO0O Moslems
Hndus, Untouchables and other divisions and turn
them loose on the Axis. It's beautiful dream.
If there a country that ripe for
civil war it's India today. We think that the Hndus
and Moslems would be at each others threats SO
fast. given the chance, they wouldn't know there
such things Japs That's why we believe
that Englands promise of independence to the In
dans after the is a better solution
much better solution would have been indie
pendence in India long before there was such
gent Hirohito such person Hitler.
Given her independence now, India would take
SO long to work out any form of government for
the whole of the country that the Japs will already
have been licked by the United States.
There are 100000 Mosems in india as against
240,00O0Oo Hindus Mohammed Ali Jinnah, who
heads the Moslem League. has indicated than
once that he will lead revolt of his following if
India is divided into self-ruing Hindu and Moslem
states.
Ghandi, the siholary Indian leader of the Hndus,
along with another Hindu political leader named
Neru TO have quite bit of influence over the
Hindus
An estimated 80 percent of the Hindu population,
however. are followers of Subhas Chandra Bose who
bronze away from Ghandi and Nehru several years
ago Bose has said that he can see no difference
between British and Japanese imperialism.
Obviously, India has some problems of her own
to work out before any cooperative Indian popula-
ton is ready to war unit against the Axis.
1t is possible, however. that if the leaders Ghandi
and Nehru be persuaded by Sir Stafford Cripps
to bring their Hindus around to the idea of fight
ing against the Axis it will help.
But think of how much greater the help of
34O0oOoOO independent people, living in a Land they
could call their would have been today. The
