Educational reforms in her coun-
try are of paramount importance in
the uniflcation of India, Miss Mana
vutty declared. The school pro-
grams, prepared by the British gov
ernment, lack sorely in meeting the
needs OF the people, she added.

course, is confusing. And our young

Taught in India.
Having taught for some time In
lnola, following her return from
Cambridge, Miss Nanavutty has had
considerable experience with the
young people Of modern India.
She said that in a class of so
pupils she taught, Al of them wanted
to enter the medical, teaching, nurs-
ing and social welfare professions
after leaving schools.
But they could not carry out
their ambitions because they were
too poor" she explained. Our
people are so poor. Ninety per cent
OF Indians are on a starvation basis
Why? Because nothing has been
done to help the farmers or to
develop the great resources of our
country"
The first desire of patriotic In
dians is to take an intelligent survey
of India's resources, Miss Nanavutty
said.
only part of the country has ever
been surveyed" she commented.
Daughter of a prominent Parsee
family of the United Provinces OF
India bordering the Punjab, Miss
Nanavutty has brought to her
studies of western culture an under
standing of the mystic which is
found so often among the people of
ancient India.
Holder of a master of literature
degree from Cambridge, she was
awarded this high honor for her
research and writings on the life of
the great English artist, poet and
mystic, William Blake. Completion
of her thesis on the life of Blake has
brought her to the United States,
where many original manuscripts of
the Englishman are to be found in
private and other libraries. At the
conclusion of her work here at the
Library of Congress, Miss Nanavutty
will 60 to New York, where she plans
to study for another year and half
before returning to her native land
to help in educating future citizens
of what she hopes will be free and
united India.

University Women Hosts to Teacher
Miss Piloo Namavutty Of India
Discusses Her Co1l,1try's Needs
Women's Club Editor

The problems of Mother India
may seem too distant from Amer.
lean shores to cause concern to the
average citizen, but they acquire
grave significance as another issue
in a troubled world when presented
In all their complexity by Miss Piloc
Nanavutty, brilliant young Indian
scholar now staying as guest at the
clubhouse OF the American Associa-
ton of University Women.
Picturesque in a native sari oi
exquisitely hand-tooled georgette
Miss Nanavutty, whose home is In
Bombay, told of the issues which
must be met by the young men and
women Of India in the years ahead
Watching her expressive face and
intelligent dark eyes, as she dis
cussed subjects ranging from Indian
independence to her views on
woman's duties as wife and mother
Miss Nanavuttys visitor concluded
that India's future may well be
intrusted to the younger generation
If the Indian girl is representative
Of her brothers and sisters overseas
The holder of numerous scholar
ships, including the Mary E. Woolley
Fellowship of the International
Federation of University Women
and the Wadia and Tata Scholar
ship given by a leading concern of
her native country, Miss Nanavutty
has been equipping herself for
leadership ever since her early child
hood.
Il learned English first from my
governess, she explained, "and later
at school in Lucknow"
Commands English.
Seven years in England, including
the time she studied at Cambridge
University, have given Miss Mana
vutty a command of the English
language that many an American
might envy.
What I should like to talk about
she smiled, as she curled comfortably
on settee, "are some of the many
needs of INDEPENDENTLY the edu-
cational and economic needs. OF
course, India's problems can never
be solved until she has been given
independence" she emphasized.
Religious and social barriers among
the people? Let us settle our own
problems. The best minds in India
are frustrated now," she continued
due to lack of security. Only
when there is national independence
will unity among the people be ac-
quired"
The caste system among the
Hindus, which has long been pointed
out as a stumbling block to Indian
unity, is weakening yearly, Miss
Nanavutty declared.

women, are bringing tremendous in

LABOR PARTY is ONLY
WAY OUT FOR THE
WORKERS

New Iork.-David Dubinsky, pre-
sident of the International Ladies'
Garment Workers union (AFL), adj
vocates creation of third party as
the only solution of labor's problems.
I'VE can't make. our threats effec-
lively unless we have the weapons and
means to punish anti-labor forces" he
told the fifth biennial convention Of
the United Hatters, Cap and Millinery
Workers (AFL).
"An independent labor party is the
only solution"
Dubinsky, declaring his union had
championed third party for more
than 30 years, said. I'VE can not
satisfy ourselves with the party which
includes the southern democratic re-
actionaries or with the republican in
dustrialists."
Dubinsky said both CIO and AFL
leaders are opposed to the third party
idea, but that did not mean that he or
his union would swerve from their
goal.

county thoroughly discussed the pro
posals of the resolutions committee
point by point and. after unanimous
adoption, released the following state
ment for publication.
There is a situation existing in oui
county high school which is becoming
known despite all efforts to suppress
the facts and stifle public discussion
| General knowledge, we feel, is now
sufficient to support the following
statements and recommendations.
First: We extend our earnest ap-
probation and thanks to the teachers
who have by their courage and unself-
ish action made the facts of the situa-
tion available.
Second: We congratulate the United
Veterans Council, the Veterans of
Foreign Wars, the Central Labor
Council, and public spirited citizens,
who have organized meetings which
did offer real information to those
attending.
Third: We authorize our county Of
ficers to maintain official representa-
tion of this organization at meetings
o the Citizens School Investigating
committee so long as necessary and
in accord with similar action already
taken by the VIEW and other organ
izations concerned.
Fourth: We believe the best results
could not be obtained under any con-
dition by the point administration and
point board which has operated the
past several years, and urge steps to
be taken at once to return the county
high school to an administration of
its own under a County High School
board entirely separate from that of
District No. 5.
Fifth: Strong recommendation
should be made to the County Com
missioners that personnel of the high
schol board should be more represen-
tative Of various groups concerned in
the functioning of the county high
school; particularly that farmers and
laborers should be properly represent
ed by persons who have the respect
and confidence of their respective
groups.
Demand WolIin's Resignation
Sixth: Supt. Wollin's competence
and his professional conduct have |
been challenged by his teachers with
such weight of evidence that we feel
less than his resignation or
removal can remedy the administra
tive situation and right to some extent
the personal injuries inflicted on
of good and experienced
teachers.
Seventh: We emphatically condemn
the attitude and conduct of the high
,chol board as being the most sinister

price of gasoline and oil -. Mr.. Pew
is leader in trying to set small bust

without government, Pew would be

Getting back to the dog part of this
account, the old rancher used to relate
how his old Shep, wise in the ways
of the dog world, would mount the
cyclone cellar bulkhead on still nights
and let loose with few practice woofs
perhaps at lone coyote as it
crossed a divide and was visible on
the skyline.
A Hound-Dog Tale
Next, the half-grown pup would
chime in a bewildered 81 second the
notion" even though he didn't under
stand it. The noise of these two would
be sufficient cause for the neighbor's
hound to join in the chorus and this
in turn would set dog after dog to
barking on the ranches clear across
the country just because the other
dogs barked
Sometimes it made the people un-
easy to be thus reused from sleep and
many dogs would be consigned to the
shed the following night, the innocent
victims of dog propaganda which they
evidently thought vital to their rugged
canine individualities.
In some fashion like that, the in
flation stopper was blown from the
OPA bottle some days ago.
"The unrestricted opportunity for
big business to get into another boom
without regard for the bust that will
follow" said Bradley, is the motive
behind the Pew and other attacks on
price control.
The boom and bust cycle which is
the result of sharp contradictions in
our society will be greatly speeded up
price control.
1t will again be boom for the people
like Pew and bust for the rest of u.s.
When workers and farmers turn
their initiation coin over, they will find
it imprinted with the fat face of Her
bert Hoover of the depression none of
us should forget.
And the small businessmen who

tightly locked up in the Pew wood

factor in the whole situation; the
more so because of the fact that not
one member by voice or vote or pub
lie statement has disassociated him
self from the obvious, obstinate, in
consistent, unfair and anti-democratic
policy of the board in support of or
subservient to the arbitrary conduct
of Supt Violin. Their good faith is
denied by their refusal to permit a
public hearing or to permit fair and
free discussion at a board meeting
supposed to consider the situation.
Their action indicates a contempt for
the interest and intelligence of the
people more fitting in fascist society
and. unless rectified, impels us to seek
their removal from office by any
means available to a democratic ma
tion. We do not, of course, hold Mr..
Beaman responsible for any action
up to this time as he is but newly ap-
pointed.
Eighth: That the charges of unpro-
fessional conduct and other irregular
tiles against Mr.. Violin be investi-
gated ana Judgment uldue ny HeIuDeI5
of the teaching profession, we ur-
gently request the National Education
association to investigate and report
on his conduct and any other matters
in their field OF activity, and to act
accordingly.
Ninth: We deeply regret losing the
services of the teachers who have lost
or jeopardized their chances of en-
ployment to bring the facts to light
But let no one assume that ours is
only a personal interest in the teach
ers who have been victims of the sit
uation. Ours is the broad and lasting
interest of citizens and parents. This
high school board has stated that it
is the boards opinion they have acted
fairly and that the matter is closed.
We hereby serve notice that the mem
bers of the Farmers Union are not
convinced of the boards fairness, and
so far as we are concerned the mat
ter is not closed We have just begun
to fight.

JOB ESTIMATES ARE
PROGRESSING

Employment estimates for manu-
featuring, mining, and rail transpor-
tation by months were released re-
Gently by the Commission for March
in cooperation with the United States
Bureau of Labor Statistics.
More than $50 selected employers in
Montana are assisting by filing
monthly reports on employment from
which samples estimates for the en-
tire industry are calculated.
The program has been in operation
for about nine months. First figures
were released for the manufacturing
industry employment for January,
mining and rail transportation being
added in the following months. AS it
develops, the Commission will be able
to release eventually estimates for all
industries.

ley Cramer, editor, Labor Review and
Alderman George Matthews.
Thatcher, Carson, Schwartz
Main talks of the conference were
given by M. w. Thatcher, general
manager, Farmers Union Grain Term
inal Assn; John Carson, Washington
representative, the Cooper tiv e
League, and Donald Schwartz, politi-
cal science instructor at the Labor
School of the University of Wisconsin.
Thatcher asserted that all workers,
rural and urban, must make the U. S.
real democracy or suffer the con-
sequences"
He urged everyone to make up his
mind which Of two groups he belongs
to, organized people" or organized
money" A man who owns property, he
said, is not in the capitalist group
unless he controls the destiny of his
production. Farmers, he pointed out,
are not necessarily capitalists.
Bankruptcy of People
Carson pointed out that bankruptcy
of government is "but a reflection of
the bankruptcy of the people back
home. We are free if we would just be
free"
He called for genuinely free mark
ct where man is not slave to money.
At present, he said, the market is
much like a poker game where the
dealer can change the value of the
chips as he pleases.
Schwartz urged establishment of
one-stop coop shopping centers in
cities and asked that investments be
800 per member rather than SO.
You can't buy Paradise with one

that Russian or Spanish or Chinese
students cannot, in several years, find
out all we know about the atom bomb
should go back to high school for a
day when the senior class reaches
the 'ubiquity of cultural advance
In medicine and surgery, Soviet in
vention has benefited us much in
recent years. In agriculture we are
converted to Kuban and Kharbov
wheat; (Mongolian) crested wheat
grass has invaded Montana. And four
weeks ago the Soviet ambassador re-
ceived and paid for to our patent Of
flee 275,000 copies, with diagrams and
ventions and processes. Russians are
entering a period of scientific study.
Aside from that, the desire of GER
tain men to exhibit their knowledge
makes secrecy almost impossible. This
impelled Wheeler to spout from an
America first platform that our ma
rines were on voyage to Iceland, when
the Atlantic was alive with German
submarines.
The DuPonts cartels, with |. G.
Farben, provide that they communi-
cate all such secrets. Americans who
sold oil to the axis in April, 1912,
men who made money by the button
box method, when we were fighting
for our lives, will for price, tell
Franco, or any one else, how to make
an atom bomb
How can UNO prevent any nation
from making atom bombs unless UNO
knows how they are made? The logic
is all mushy. I could watch chemists
at work by the year without knowing
whether they were making penecillin
or paragoric.

manded world disarmament.

Urges Housing Bill
Among other resolutions adopted
was one urging passage by congress
of the -Ellender-Taft housing
bill and specifically asking that the
city of Minneapolis and other munich
pal governments build non-profit
homes. Another resolution called for
broadening of the social security pro
gram.
Labor papers will be invited to
carry column on co-ops, and plans
were made to invite the Minnesota
Assn of Cooperatives to provide a
means for exchange of coop and
labor news between the various
papers.
The proposed Labor-Co-op council
would be composed of representatives
of the coop committees named by
various labor unions as well as dele
gates from Twin Cities co-ops
Rodney Jacobson, of the State CIO,
got the conference off to good start
with the statement that "A trade
union man is not a good union mem
ber unless he is also good member
of COOP"
Other greetings were issued by Rob
