Fact And Opinion
India.
By e. C. Stengelsen.

In reporting on the trouble in
India, American newspapers have
generally "slanted" the news in such
manner as to exonerate Britain OF
blame for what is happening; while
comment by American editors and
columnists has been all but an echo
of the British view. Our writers
have protested sympathy with In
dia's wish for independence, but in
the same breath they have voiced
emphatic disapproval of Gandhi's
demands
But little has been written to ac-
quaint Americans with India's side
of the story. 1t seems to this writer
that he who would form balanced
opinion must consider the case as
presented by the Indians as well.
Britain claims, first, that the Con-
greSS party, which is sponsoring
Gandhi's "non-violence" campaign,
is not truly representative of India,
in that it does not speak for the
MoslemS, who form a minority Sec
ton of some 80 million people and
oppose independence because they
fear the resultant domination by the
Hindus, who are the majority.
To this argument, Nat Muzumdar
of Bombay, replied recently in an
article published in the Minneapolis
Star-Journal:
"The Congress party does repre-
sent the interest of all the groups
Hindus, Moslems, Sikhs, Christians
and the underprivileged. 1t has
been often falsely stated of late that
Congress is a Hindu body. The
elected president of the Congress
today is not Hindu but Moslem."
The British assert that the Mo-
hammedans have their own organi-
cation, the Moslem League, and that
it is opposed to the Gandhi program
calling for independence now. To
this, Muzumdar replies:
"The Moslem League, which is
said to be great political party to
represent interest of the Moslems,
in reality does not represent even
the majority of the Moslems, for the
majority of the Moslems support the
Congress party program. The lead
ers of the Moslem League are cap
italists, professionals, landlords or
industrialists"
1t is Britain's claim that by rea-
son of the wide divergence between
the various racial and political
groups, British withdrawal will re-
suit in anarchy, chaos and possible
civil war. They assert that India is
so helplessly divided that there can
be no unity, and that without unity,
self-government is out of the ques-
ton.
Motilal Nehru, quoted by Dian
Gopal Mukerji in his book, 'Dis-
illusioned India" replies:
"In the All-India Youth League,
we have Hindu and Mohammedan
boys standing shoulder to shoulder
against the British. The place where
we do suffer from some disunity is
the relation of the old Hindus with
the aged Moslems. My answer to
that problem is that we should let
death deal with the superannuated.
After the cantankerous old chaps
have died out we shall never hear
of the u-Mohammedan disunity
Thank God for the boys! They are
no more interested in religious bigo-
try than I am. Yet the old men
strut about on the dung-heap of
dogmatism while Gandhism YIELDS

Why Join the Church

I ought to belong to the church
because of memories; memories of
things I can never forget; memories

But there are considerations other
than India's capacity for self-govern-
ment that British statesmen must
weigh. Of the empires 500 million
population, India accounts for $50
millions.
India takes 20 per cent of United
Kingdom exports; she has the larg-
est steel factories in the British EN-
pire; she is the sixth industrialized
country in the world; her cotton
yield is second only to that of the
U. S. A. and, she raises more tobacco
than we; she has one-third of the
worlds cattle and is it's chief sup
plier of hides and skins; she has the
greatest output of sugar in the
world.
She is, in short, the treasure house
of the British Empire. If India is
given dominion status, she might
promptly secede, as she would have
right to do.
The result of freedom for India
cannot be foretold; but it is only
fair to Britain to say that the loss
of India might shake the empires
entire economic structure to the
foundation.

the young of India into one nation
atty"
Says Dian Gopal Mukerji: "Can-
ada is divided into French Catholics,
English-speaking Protestants and Red
Indian reservations just as we are
between the Hindus, the Mohamme-
dams and the Rajah's kingdoms"
Another large minority group is
made up of the 40 million untouch-
ables. These underprivileged have
been Gandhi'S especial concern, who
has tried to erase caste barriers and
admit them to spiritual, social and
economic fellowship with the rest.
Indications are not lacking that
the new generation in India lays
less stress upon differences in caste
than did their forbears 1t is not
impossible that the beginning of the
end of the caste system is approach
ing. What happened in the holy city
of Benares IL years ago may be
indicative of such a trend.
The high priest of Hinduism, Pan
dit Malavya, blessed over 10000
casteless Pariahs, saying: ''You are
untouchables no more. Now, all the
religious privileges of the other
castles you should claim as your
birthright."

FOR ECONOMIC IMPROVEMENT

Pease, MINI.
Evening star., 1942-07-01
BY HELEN LOMBARD.

FOrelgn ENJOYS In washington
have lots of things to worry about.
One concern is handling" the
American press. This is a difficult
task as there is only one safe reci-
pe-one few foreigners dare to fol-
low-that of being outspoken.
Foreign diplomats who have had
contacts with the subsidized and
government or party controlled
press of European capitals are more
handicapped than those who arrive
in the United States, innocent of
preconceived notions of how to get
on with the newspaper fraternity.
Most of the outstanding figures
In European journalism are reliably
known to have accepted "favors"
from foreign interests and to have
considered these ''favors' as legiti-
mate contributions to their pro-
fession.
The American press is not for sale
and the envoy who follows up a
lunch, dinner or a case of wine
with offers of more substantial
marks of esteem and considera-
ton" is apt to get a nasty rebuke
Some ENJOYS attempt to ignore the
press and some become sulky at
the slightest critical press notice
Others accept the fact that its in
f1uence depends on giving the news
honestly and that therefore it must
at times be critical.
Both King George of Greece and,
Peter of Yugoslavia, who were al
ready assured of warm and SYM
pathetic reception in the United
States, found nevertheless that
their Washington representatives
had placed in the must" category
on their programs, reception, teas
and luncheons with Washington re-
porters. The King of Greece was
upset when he had to cancel a
luncheon in his honor at the Ma
tional Press Club and he made a
point of receiving Washington
newspapermen at the Blair House
and greeting others at the recep-
tion at the Greek Legation.
The Yugoslav Legation was in
somewhat of dilemma about their
very young royal visitor He spoke
good English and had the reputa-
ton of being quick witted. But
some of the Yugoslavs with long
Washington experience hesitated to
throw him into the journalistic free
for-all of mass press conference
All kinds of questions would be
fired at him and if he muffed one
of fthem-something which has hap
pened to older and more experienced
visitors than Peter 1.-THE result
might be an unfortunate headline
IN the story Of an otherwise COM
pletely successful visit.
King Parties Questions.
Some of the Yugoslav representa-
tives strongly advised that the
youthful King read prepared state
ment. Others thought it would be
best for him to speak through the
lips of his Foreign Minister.

Visit to Capital Shows Kings
Why ENJOYS Worry Over Press
Fronkness Held Only Course to Take
In Dealing With u S. Reporters

The King himself decided that he
would take on the Washington press
He gracefully side-stepped the ques-
ton of possible romance, only to
be handed an inquiry concerning his
pattern for the postwar world.
Young Peter raised his eyebrows
and then spoke to newspapermen
in French and King Peters picture
of the postwar world was no less
understandable than that presented
by any of the Washington agencies
occupied with the same problem.

Music Student Pays
Tuition With Pianos
Pr the Associated Press

Ry the Associated Press.
INTERLOCHEN, Mich. - Harry
John Brown, conductor of the ,Oak
Park 0llD Junior High School Or
chestra, is saying it with music
truckloads of it.
Short of cash to pay his tuition
at the National Music Camp here,
Brown was allowed to handle the
payments on the installment plan,
in used pianos.
Advertising in the Chicago papers,
he succeeded in buying 20 second
hand pianos at nominal prices.
Now they're being moved into the
camp here on trucks and Brown is
registered fee paid for study.
Millions are in camp. The least
