The case of Britain furnishes an
example of how a nation can profit
from American agriculture. Be
fore the repeal of the corn laws
in 1910, the isles grew their own
grain. With the opening the west
in the u. s. A. the Britons gained
limitless quantities of inexpensive
bread. Farmers left the fields and
entered the workshops and John
Bulls fabulous industrial prosper
ity began. Raw materials and
foodstuffs from abroad were con-
verified into manufactured goods.
Some OF these were used in pay
ment for imports and the remain
der assured steady rise in the
standard of living.
Prior to the First World War
we sold wheat to London for more
than dollar a bushel. In the
thirties we were often glad TO take
fifty cents a bushel. We tinkered
with the price of gold A shift
in the rate of exchange between
our crops on one hand and English
factory products on the other was
distinctly in the United Kingdoms
favor. Shrewd businessmen &C
quired our cereals at half the pre-
1914 cost while we obligingly
bought from the Empire billions
of dollars worth Of gold at a
mark-up OF seventy per cent.

If there had been any doubt on the question,
the great expansion of state department functions
has made the reciprocal trade treaties of more
Importance than the economic benefits they have
proved. Though conceived entirely as a peace time
policy in a period of depression. reciprocal trade
has been of tremendous in the stress of war.
Opposition of renewal of the treaties comes
largely from few localities and areas where special
interests slightly affected. On the principle of
the greatest good to the greatest number the treaties
should be renewed.

and reopen the question? Well. 1
failed to find single Indian leader
who didn't regret the collapse Of
the Sir Stafford Cripps parleys last
summer and who didn't want to see
them resumed. On that basis there
would be quick response.
Most important of all. I was in
formed that Gandhi himself, whose
adherence to his ideals and policies
sometimes borders on the obstinate,
undoubtedly would be willing to
make concessions, provided there
was a transfer of power from Brit
ish to Indian hands.
This information came from Mr..
Gandhi's distinguished son. Dev-
adas, who is managing editor OF the
nationally important Hindustan
Times, published in New Delhi.
Although I have known Mr.
Gandhi many years I didn't ask to
see him, because I didn't want to
embarrass the government with a
request which I knew they couldn't
grant. Instead, turned to Devadas,
whom I first met at the time of the
Indian round table conference in
London in 1892 when he accom-
panied his father to that parley.
We were sitting In Davadas' Office,
discussing the breakdown of nego-
tiations last summer:
What the world wants to know
now is Mahatma Gandhi's position
regarding future negotiations" I
said bluntly. How far would your
father go, providing negotiations
were reopened?"
Negotiations in Jail Opposed.
II thing know the answer to
your question" he replied, "and, per-
haps, can give you my fathers
position. I feel know what it is"
The son of the famous crusader
didn't continue Immediately, but sat
for several moments in deep thought,
with hands folded across the shawl
which he habitually wears. I re-
manned silent and watched until he
finally began:

tSecond In Series.)
BY DEWITT MACKENZIE.

There's no shadow of doubt that
Mohandas K. Gandhi's hunger
strike, perhaps to the death, has
precipitated most dangerous and
far-reaching crisis in the bitter con-
troversy over the scope of the inde-
pendence which England has offered
India.
Small wonder that, Secretary of
State Hull should have expressed
American concern over the situation
to British Ambassador Halifax This
has ceased to be family dispute.
1t has become q matter of vital
Importance to the Allied cause, for
India is one of our major military
and political bases. 1t is essential
to the United Nations both to insure
victory and in the postwar recon-
struction.
When I left India the other day 1t
was with the conviction that this
protracted and bloody quarrel was
susceptible of settlement If there
was even a modicum of give and take
displayed by both sides.
Mountain of Uncertainty.
I still believe that to be so, though
admittedly Mr.. Gandhi's strike has
created mountain of grave un-
certainty.
To my mind there is fresh sup
port for my belief in the fact that
my friend Sir Tai Bahadur Sapru,
the famous moderate leader, is TAX
ing a hand in the affair. He heads
the 200 Indian political figures who
are meeting to request the viceroy
to release Mr.. Gandhi.
The great Sapru comes into action
when there is need of a mediator be-
tween the government and extrem-
lists. Thus his presence seems to me
to bespeak the spirit of conciiation
and desire of settlement which I
found in many high quarters.
Only a month ago Sir Tai said to
me in his Allahabad home
I'm absolutely certain that the
whole controversy could be solved
amicably and without bitterness"

The danger now is that Mr..
Gandhi may die--in fact 1t seems
likely that he will We then shall
have what many of Indias 400 mil
lions will regard as sanity
martyrdom.
Gandhi Great Influence.
The little Mahatma is the greatest
single influence in all that vast
subcontinent. To uncounted hosts
OF adoring followers he is Messiah.
and none can foresee to what
lengths the people might be stirred
by his death, especially If he died
under incarceration.
OF course, we shouldn't be so
naive as to overlook that Mr..
Gandhi's death would remove the
Nationalists' anchor man. That
might weaken their position to the
advantage of the government.
AS things now stand, the next
move would seem to be up to the
government.
1t has the choice of two courses.
One Is to release Mr.. Gandhi,
thereby making a gesture which
might be taken as display of
weakness.
The other is to stand pat and run
the obvious dangers attendant on
the Mahatmas death.
It's difficult decision for any gov
ernment to make and the hour glass
is emptying fast. Still. I've had
many distinguished observers in both
camps tell me they believed the gov
ernment should take the initiative
in reopening negotiations and en-
gineering settlement. I doubt If
Mr.. Gadhi's hunger strike would
do other than strengthen this view.
