Crisis in India

The monsoon season is ending in India. Japanese armies, poised on the border, are ready to spring into action. They count upon the arti-British dis turbanceS, which are worse than censor ship has told us, to expedite their con- quest of that rich land To the Japanese, anxious to bring all of the East under their rule, India would he prize hardly second to China. Many of us do not realize that, in addition to the natural resources of which we know, India has become the eighth industrial country of the world.
 To the United Nations, already under. terrific handicapS in our attempt to pre- serve democracy, the loss of India would be another awful blow. Unless some settlement of the British-Indian contro- versy is worked out soon - if, indeed, it is not already too late - the task of saving India will be well nigh lmpoSS- ible On principle, Americans Sympa- thize with the Indians and feel that they are entitled to their freedom. If India falls, because that freedom has not been granted, there will be an eruption of vio- lent criticism of the British.
 Before that happens, if it must, let us have in mind certain facts which, while they do not excuse British prewar errors, are very pertinent now Most important is this: Whatever was true before the war, Great Britain cannot turn India loose now. India is not nation, as we think of nations, nor are Indians race. There is no unaninity on any single matter.
 There are 562 Indian states, the largest with 16 million citizens. There are "A languages, each spoken by as many as million Indians. Two Indians out of three are Hindus. One out of four is a MoSelem. The two hate each other with an all consuming hatred While the Hindus greatly outnumber the MoSlems, the latter are better fighters, and could pro- long civil war for years.
 The Hindus insist upon freedom ot India as an entity. Thus they would rule the Moslems by force of numbers. The Moslems insist upon a separate state, and will fight for it. There is no way in which Britain now can turn India loose without provoking war between these two major factions.
 Presumably Washington has been ex- ploring every possibility to find some compromise which would induce the h. dians to defer settlement of this problem until after Japan has been beaten. II such efforts fail, let's not be too hard on the British.

Walking Ration Books

By the end of the year your average householder will resemble, as he or she walks into a store to make a purchase, a walking notebook. Your Uncle Sam is prepared to dole out supplies for the duration of the war on such scale as we have never imagined. Right now it's a task sometime to remember where the family sugar rationing books are or the gasoline coupons, but that's only the beginning. An "all-purpose" ration book is now in the hands of the government printers.
 When ready about Christmas time it's guaranteed to facilitate your purpose of almost anything that comes under the control of the federal government And what today doesn't come under such con- trol? Therell be 192 coupons in the "all-purpose" book, 24 to each of eight pages, each page colored differently. There1l be different ways of using the book, too, if you can comprehend It's ramifications when they are explained.
 Meat sales will be one thing controlled by coupons with consumer allowed to purchase 1-2 pounds week. Incident ally if you dine out you may have to carry your meat coupons with you In order to have meat included on your menu. Naturally all members of house. hold will receive books, just as they have for sugar So if the whole family dimes out and there's wide variety of choices, the management will probably have to provide each table with charts to guide both diners and walters.
 And the forthcoming ration book is to be but first in a Ssries of four guaranteed to place everything we buy or use in our daily lives on ration basis. If ever there was an incentive to end war quickly it is being provided the American public to- day. We pity the Axis aide who might be dropped into a womanS bargain day crowd which had been slowed up by ne- cessity of parting with both cash and coupons.

Both Parties. in Agreement

Both Republicans and Democrats seem to be in agreement on the thought that little is gained in retaining on tickets men who have gone into the service and who are not available now for active duty in the state government The Democrats replaced pr. Frank Anastasio with Nicho- las Mona as candidate for State Treas urer at their. convention in Hartford Wednesday,. On the same day word ar- rived in Litchfield County that Col. Er- nest L. Novey would not be a candidate to succeed himself as High Sheriff
 Some weeks ago both Col Novey and Dr. AnaStaSio were avoWed candidates to succeed themselves, although it was fair ly obvious that their military duties would, in all liklihood, keep them well oc- cupied for some months to come. No one denies the right of the man in service to be a candidate for public office, but it's rather far-fetched to seek such office when there is no possibility of campaign ing for it or even occupying it if elected. It would be far better in all such cases to allow the office to be filled by someone who can really perform the duties re- quired.
 It may seem like hardship to deprive a person of political honor which has only come to him after years of striving, but civil and military duties can't be mixed to any great extent. It's either one or the other. If the man in civil life chooses to forsake that for the military, then we believe his entire job is to con- centrate on it and to pick up where he left off when he returns from the wars. That has always been done before; it should continue to be our Democratic practice, even though, as we said, it may seem to work genuine hardship on the individual who has to make the sacrifice. In other walks of life they are made; there should be no distinction for the public official.

Westchester County in New York has apparently taken the lead in movement that will soon spread throughout the East, particularly into New England. It has limited the speed of motor vehicles on all county pathways to 35 miles an hour That's bound to interfere with the records that local drivers have been claim ing in their occasional trips to New York City However, therell be general ac- ceptance of the 35-rnile limit. And be- fore long we can expect to learn that signs along our own Merritt Parkway read 35-miles instead of the present 40. It's surprising how much ground can be covered by steady 35-nile an hour gait. Steady driving, of course, is the way to make time on any motor trip. Additional benefits, which motorists ought to ap-- preciate today, are less wear on tires and engine; better mileage per gallon of gas oline. The idea of confining speed limits to pathways, though, doesn't sound quite logical, for certainly the limit shouldn't be any higher on secondary roads.

his time is spent in looking out for a possible adversary. He busies himself with devouring his food only for an instant; then he looks all about him to make sure that no enemy is near. If there is the suggestion of approaching danger, he leaps upward into the air. He leaves the level of danger and seeks the safety of higher regions.
 The suggestion which this scene has for us is twofold. First. we too must be watehful.

Anxious Relatives

The parents, wives, brothers and sis ters of Americans who were in the Philip pines have been besieging every possible source for information whether they still are alive, and, if so, where they are and what is their condition. To these ques- flons there Is no answer, because the Jap anese have not provided those lists of prisoners-of war which humane peoples compile and transmit through the Red Cross, as speedily and accurately as war conditions will permit.
 This negligence or deliberate restraint rmphasizes one difference between Jap an6se and OccidentaIs We wage war to accomplish a purpose, good or bad, and fe6ret the human suffering that be. .osses inevitable. and try to limit that HlflerlnQ as much as possible.

Randall J. LeBoeuf, Jr., president of the National Travellers Aid Assn, offers some good advice to people who plan to make visits to the various military camps and posts throughout the country. Sur prise'' visits positively should not be planned, he says, for the surprise" too often backfires and the visiting persons are apt to find when they arrive unan- nounced and not expected that their son or relative has been transferred or IS busy with maneuvers and cannot enjoy thelr stay. The man in uniform, says MT: Le- Boeuf, does not go and come as he pleas es, but on orders of his superior officers. So if planning visit herald it before you leave home and make sure you know eX- act location and rank of the tralnee.

MEAT RATIoNING COMING
(Bridgeport Telegraml

Bridgeport Telegraph
 Meat rationing will soon be fact in a nation in which, only few years ago, farmers were being paid by the government to kill their pigs and reduce their livestock. Thus speedily are we being punished for having tried preversely to produce scarcity in the midst of plenty and to reverse the laws of economies.
 But 1t does not matter whether the professors of the first New Deal were really so stupid as they now appear to be, or theorists ahead of their time. The fact of the matter is that today we haven't meat enough to feed ourselves at the rate at which we are consum- in git while we ship the quantities designated by Harry Hopkins to our Allies abroad. To meet this sit- uation the government proposes eventually to ration meat with books and coupons the way gaso- line is rationed.
 Tn the meantime there is talk of meatless day every week on a voluntary basis. We strongly urge that the government try this before 1t resorts to coupon rationing.
 Tn the World War this was suffi- cient. In the World War we had a situation equally drastic or even

The American farmer, Wickard has warned, is expected to feed the world, and he just can't do it without Q) farm labor, and (2) machinery. Furthermore, two other factors are now becoming difficult: Fertilizer, because of the large amount of nitrate going in- to munitions; and insecticide, much of which used to come from the Dutch East Indies.
 Wickard's battle to secure more farm labor is pretty well known. He has been warning Selective Service Director General Hershey that not all farm labor can be drafted, and he has been battling with Manpower Czar Paul Mo- Mutt to keep farm labor from going to city industries.
 But Wickard'S struggle for farm machinery is not known. It has been waged backstage with Don- aid Nelson and WIPE moguls to whom the Secretary of Agricul- ture has pointed out that farmers must nave tractors, blows, cul- tivators, etc., to offset both labod shortages and to increase farm production.
 On July 22, Wickard wrote a letter to Nelson suggesting that
 agricultural machinery to the value of S14O,0O0, 600 be manu- factured for 1943. This figure represents 3S per cent of the
 194G production. Wickard also recommended a much higher production of repair parts, in-
 cluding plowshareS namely 15J per cent of the 1940 produc- tion. This was to permit farm CTS to repair outworn machinery where new machinery was not available.
 This program was okayed by the Food Requirements Commit tee, on which the War Production Board is represented. But it got no action from the WIPE. h.

 A PRESIDENT WILSON STORY
 Cabinet members who turned out for Eddie Dowling's new show in Washington-and most of them were there-recalled an- other instance when Bowling opened a show in wartime Wash ington. That was in the last World War, and Woodrow Wilson, @ great theater-goer was there.
 Wilson came behind scenes to congratulate Eddie and noticed lying dead-to-the-world on the floor in the dressing room a priv ate in uniform.
 Let him sleep" suggested Will son. 'I1l give him an extension. of leave so he won't have to get. back until tomorrow" So he scribbled on the back of the the ater program: Private Henry Bowling is extended until 12 noon. tS,gned) Woodrow Wilson, But when Private Bowling reported for duty he was called upon to ex- plain why he was AWOL. "I had an extension of leave," he said. From whom?" From the Com mander-in- Chief" and he showed the theater program. Whereupon incredulous officers locked up Henry on the charge of mental derangen1ent and it required Ad- miral Cary Grayson, aide to the President, to get him out.

@. When was Halle Selassie born? Is he once more the ruler of Ethiopia?
 A. He was born July 24, 1891. Af- ter the invasion of Ethiopia by Italy in 1885, he fled to Englnad, and re- turned to Ethiopia as ruler in May, 1941, after aiding the British to re- tain control of the country from the Italians.
 o. Please name the seven new York counties that were added to the Eastern gasoline rationed area on August p, 1942.
 A. Monroe, Orleans, Niagara, Liv- ingston, Genessee, Wyoming and Erie.
 e. How high does the earth's at- mosphere extend?
 A. The height of the earth's at mosphere is not definitely known. One calculation, based on the heights at which meteors first be- come luminous shows that the at mosphere extends upwards at least POO miles. According to one theory the atmosphere may extend as high as 17,O00 miles above the earth's poles, and about 26,000 miles above the equator.
 e. Does the surname Barber mean a barber?
 A. It is derived from that occu- patton. At the time the name orig mated a barber was somewhat of a surgeon and physician as well as a tonsorial artist.
 o. How is the difference in days figured between the old style (Ju. lian) calendar and the new style (Gregorian) calendar?
 A. The change from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar. add 10 days from the years 1882 to 1700; Il days from 1700 to 1900; 12 days from 1900 to 1900 and 13 days since 1900.

more so. But when Woodrow Will son appealed to the people of the United States as an act of patriot ism and good faith to do without meat one day a week SO that there might be more to ship to our Army abroad, the people responded with virtually unanimous patriotism.
 It was not necessary at that time to regiment the public, to make citizens stand in line to get meat tickets or to go through all the rest of the complicated and in- volved red tape of rationlng. They were asked voluntarily to do without meat and they did. The saving in national consumption met the gov- ernments purposes and that was all that was necessary.
 Why not try 1t?

stead, another branch of WIPE acting, acting quite independently, drew up a program calling for production of farm machinery up the 27 per cent of the 194O levels. This was the WIPES Civilian Sup plies Branch, and its program in turn was rejected by the Food Re- quirements Committee.
 To make matters still more
 confused, the War Department
 at this point entered the picture.
 It demanded that no critical
 be used for agricultural machin-
 cry during the next quarter. This
 would completely cripple the
 Wickard program, since the
 machinery to be used by farm
 CTS next spring must be pro-
 duced in the next three months
 ---in other words, in the next
 quarter.
 So while farmers face short- age of labor, machinery, fertiliz- CT and insecticides, action in Washington is delayed by con- !lict and duplication among bue reaucracies.
 BIRTH AND PRICE CONTROL
 Congressional leaders showed the President a rough draft of the new wage-price 5control bill before the legislation was intro duced, and he heartily approved it. However, the leaders didn't tell the President about one proposal, relative to price control, which was discussed while the bill was being written in Speaker Sam Rayburn's office.
 At this meeting, Rayburn re- marked that the problems of cattlemen should be kept in mind by fixing meat prices.
 "I have some cattle myself on
 what I like to call my ranch in
 Texas" Rayburn said, 'tand I
 know from experience what it costs to raise them. It requires 27 months and a lot of hay be- fore heifer is ready for breed ing"
 'YOu forgot to add on the period of gestatiOn, Sam," some one observed. Maybe we ought to ask the President to do something about this. He could issue an executive order, short ening the length of time re- quired to bring baby cattle into the world"
 Well, the President is far rncr himself and ought to know about such things" grinned Majority Leader Alben Barkley.
 However, I doubt that this would come within the scope of his powers as COmmander-in- Chief"
 MYSTERIES OF CENSORSHIP
 One inexphcable thing about the otherwise effective Censorship Code is that 1t bars publication of any suspicion that sabotage was committed aboard a ship or in a factory, also htat 1t bans mention of diplomatic relations.
 For instance, 1t is not permit ted to say that Hitler uses a certain French area as 6 radio link to South America because the State Department forgot to in- clude radio in It's diplomatic negotiations regarding that radio station.
 <. Also. 1t is not permitted to say that sabotage was suspected aboard a certain luxury liner which burned ct sea, even though yer few luxury liners burned at sea in peace times, and certainly many more precautions are tak- en to prevent fire in vltally inc poftant ships in wartime.
 Thls censorship is not the fault Of Byron Pflees efficient bureau, but the government departments who wrote the code.
