All EXiled Governments.
All the eXiled governments are
established in England. some of
them in this immediate neighbor-
hood They are accompanied by
many OF their nationals. civilians
and soldiers. For these, largely
through the efforts of the British
Council, the old homes have been
transformed into bits OF their own
lands with restaurants which serve
their own food, bars which serve
their own drinks. libraries in their
own languages, schools for children
where their own tongues are taught.
dances and cardrooms where their
own dances are danced and their
own games played.

except as guests. Thus is preserved
the citizenship idea. II is the same
with all the other national houses.
Yet there is loose. overall asso-
citation between them which gives
the Utopian picture of nations liv-
ing independently but in the utmost
harmony, But all the citizens of all
these miniature nations, of course,
are man and women sharing the
same ideals. Otherwise, they would
not be in England now.
Preserve National Atmosphere. >
Every effort is made to preserve
the national atmosphere. Take the
Belgian house, one of the most sue
cessful, The other night there was
a concert of Belgian music after a
delightful Belgian meal served up
by an indefatigable Belgian woman.

Study British Methods.
Here also is going on a program
looking to Poland's future after the
war. Officers are studying British
methods of food rationing, which
have been eminently successful. with
the idea that it will be necessary
to apply something of the same sort
IN their native land for at least
two years after Hitler's defeat-until
the ruined agriculture can be re-
stored.

Many observers in India regard

Third, ,Mohandas Gandhi's hunger
strike has infected new and highly
dangerous element into the contro-
verSy. There is grave danger that
he will die, for he is 73 years old
and his 80 pounds of skin and bones
have been so tortured with previous
strikes that he lacks the stamina to
stand much more.
Should Gandhi die under such
circumstances the effects might
easily be catastrophe. You have to
know your India to realize how
great an influence is welded by this
diminutive ascetic who, right or
wrong, certainly is one of the out
standing leaders of his time
Unnumbered hosts worship him as

some of his followers from prostrat-
