termined but the plans for which
are well under way. The commit
tee on reorganization also hopes to
revise Indian preliminary education
SO that it will develop leadership.
When saw General Cariappa he
was politely but none the less deep
ly panied over some of the reports
in the American press which belit-
tied India's participation in the
war. He explained (Which we in
Washington knew that there were

ing.
General Cariappa is working to
prepare a completely independent
Indian army. It is also, / dare to
suggest, for an independent India.
AS soldier, the general refused to
discuss politics, but he said that nat
urally every loyal Indian looks for
ward to the independence of his
country - Something" he said,
(which every one of our soldiers
who has been fighting for the ideals
Of the United Nations expects" Like
his fellow-countrymen and the Brit
ish officers with whom have talked,
General Cariappa is proud of the
seeds of unity which have been sown
in the army.
In the first place, the army speaks
and also reads and writes one Ian
guage.. Most Of the soldiers when
they enlist are Of the peasant class
and are illiterate. When their train
ing commences they are irnmedi-
ately taught to read and write in
Roman Urdu, which is sirnplifed
Hindustani written with English (Ro-
man) letters. Aside from the value
of eradicating illiteracy, the knowl-
edge and use of a common language
removes one Of the chief obstacles
to harmony and understanding
among the people. (There are II
principal languages and 100 dia-
lects spoken in India.) Many preju-

WNU Service, 1916 Eye Street NV,
Washington, D.. G.
One heartening postwar picture
arose out of the weller of hope, fear
and expectation which held Wash
ington, in its grip through the news
of the atomic bombs, the entrance
Of Russia into the war and then the
exciting fash from Japan that kept
us on tenter-hooks so long. When
there seemed little to contemplate
about but the lush growth Of evil
which had sprung from the planting
of the dragons teeth Of war, found.
strangely enough, in the office Of the
representative of India in Washing
ton the belief that the war would
turn out to be, in one respect, a
blessing to that perturbed country.
India has furnished an army of 21z
million men (the largest volunteer
force in the world in the prosecu-
ton of this war and that army has
turned out to be 'the greatest school
Of adult education" in the world.
That's what the Indians proudly call
it. True, soldiers in other armies
have been taught while they
fought" but few have ever been able
ito add so much to the total knowl-
edge of their nation.
I am told that after the last war,
when an Indian village was found,
especially in the Punjab, which was
little better run, with more pro-
gressive ideas and more active
social consciousness, it would also
be discovered that its moving spirit
was an ex-soldier-an Indian (din-
du or Moslem, Rajput or Sikh, no
matter) who had brought home
ideas on sanitation and hygiene, CO.
operation and understanding, alb
sorbed during his period of service
at home or abroad. But now the po-
tentiaities of this military mission
aryship are immensely greater. Not
merely because the Indian army is
SO much bigger, but because al
ready it has served as a great melt
ing pot, breaking down ancient pref
udices and taboos which heretofore
have made Indian unity impossible.

Army With a
Language Problem

1t is true that most of the Indian
army has remained within the con-
tinental limits of the country, but
that is not really strange, General
Cariappa explained, since it takes
Is men in the tail'' as he put it,
to keep one fighting man going.
Many foreigners, seeing so many
uniforms in India, received the i'm
preston that the whole army was
Sitting down." These men, Of
course, are not combat troops held
back for political or other reasons,
the general said, but are largely the
work troops, the great service of
supply required to keep the armies
in the field going.
The general claims that Indian
soldiers are second to none as fight
ing men. The greater proportion Of
them are Madrasi, not at all the
traditional fighting tribes who in the
past have constituted what was
called the martial race" That
term, long outmoded, has long since
been dropped. The excuse for its
use disappeared much earlier.
In the past there may have been
some basis for this concept. Fight
ing begets fighters. AS the British
conquest of India moved slowly
northward it left peace behind it,
but ignited war ahead of it. So
the northerners were the last whose
vocation, or at least avocation, was
mortal combat. The southerners re-
turned to the gentler arts. But to
return to the general. He quoted
that truism which all military men
know is sound: There are no bad
soldiers. There are only bad Of
ficers."
Let me end this column as I be-
gan it. If General Cariappa is typ
ical Of India's officers, there is hope,
not only for powerful Indian army,
which I, with the rest of you, pray
India will never need, but hope that
here among these 211 million men
who have found a common tongue
and a common purpose has been
planted the leaven of tolerance that
may bring about the unity of free
India.

Generals Spirit
Hopeful Sign

II tall, lean and eager General
Cariappa, with whom I talked at
length when he was here on a mis-
sion connected with the founding of
q new military academy in India,
is typical, the army is indeed
force. His enthusiasm, his op-
timism and his energy are hopeful
signs in themselves. I enjoyed that
interview, seated in the office Of
the Agent General for India, where
heard this earnest man speak with
an apparent sincerity and conviction
which could not help but impress
anyone who heard him.
General Cariappa was one Of the
first Indian cadets to be COM
missioned in the Indian army in
1920. AS young man he had not
yet attained his majority. He has
been in the army ever since and
was the first Indian officer to COM
mand battalion. He raised ma
chine-gun outfit himself and as
lieutenant colonel led his men
through the bitter days of the Bur-
ma campaign. Now he is general
staff officer. one of India's four brig
adiers, and also a member of the
army reorganization committee. It
was in the latter capacity that he
has just completed tour of inspec-
ton Of the British military schools at
Woolwich and Sandhurst, then the
Canadian school at Kingston, and
finally West Point and some of
our specialist schools. He hopes to
take acceptable features of all these
schools and combine them in the
new Indian Military academy, the
