Hindu minorities have been driven

Police and military authorities

Hindus and the warlike Sikhs are in

Congress and the Sikhs have ap-

ST. PAUL. - Harold Stassen's
three-rlcnth-o campaign for the
1948 Republican nomination for
President is going, ne says, "even
better than expected"
That's the way the former Mime
sofa Governor put it before leaving
on tour of Europe.
The campaign thus far has been
largely a personal affair. Since an
nouncing his candidacy in Wash
ington, December 18, Mr.. Stassen
has made about dozen major
speeches and numerous lesser ap-
pearances and opened Offices here
and in Washington. Until the
Washington office was opened mail
in the Office here ran to 70 letters
a day, including speaking invita-
tions, comments and offers of sup
port.
Also active in Mr.. Stassens be-
half are two formally organized
committees-Volunteers for Sta ~sen
and Neighbors for Stassen--and a
group of young men who support
him with almost fanatical zeal.
Volunteers for Stassen, headed by
Bernhard Levander, youthful Re-
publican State chairman, is active
thus far only within Minnesota
Levander says the committee has
received contributions and offers of
support "far beyond expectations. u
In Every State.
Mark Forgette, who served on
the staff of Gen. Mark Clark and
decided to support Stassen, whom
he has never met, as result OF
his war experience, is director OF
Neighbors for Stassen. The group,
which was organized to help friends
of Mr.. Stassen get the Stassen story
to their friends over the Nation,
now reaches by mail into every
State.
Neither Mr.. Stassen nor his
Minnesota supporters will discuss
suggestions that he launched his
campaign too early. On the other
hand they find considerable en-
couragement in the fact that he
has spoken in Kansas, North Da-
kota and South Dakota at the invi-
tation of party organization groups
| Mr.. Stassen, who became Governor
of Minnesota when he was 81 years
old and was twice reelected, served
as flag secretary to Admiral William
Halsey during the war and was a
United States delegate to the United
Nations Conference in San Fran
cisco. He has spoken and written
widely since his discharge from the
Navy in 1945.
Since then he has taken a public
stand on almost every political and
governmental issue.

civil rights, including the right tt
parade and hold meetings Such
rights have been suspended ir
several provinces on official claims
that it is necessary to preserve order
But where the Northwest Frontier
is almost solidly Moslem, Punjat
presents a far more complicated
political and religious picture. The
bitterness of communal discord has
reached new heights in the damage
or destruction of the business sec
tionS of several rich cities.
League agitation for more than
month has forced resignation of the
Punjab coalition government COM
posed of Sikhs, Hindus and Moslems
opposed to the league. When the
Moslem League could not get sup
port from other parties to form q
government, British Gov. Sir Evan
Jenkins suspended the Legislature
and took control himself. Political
demonstrations of rival factions
quickly developed into full-scale
communal warfare. 2
Both Congress and Moslem League
leaders have publicly appealed fol

cities of Lahore and Amritsar, trou-

cutting taxes. Mr.. Stassen was
among the first to urge a substantial
cut in President Trunan's budget.
A big man-he stands over six
feet and weighs around 200 pounds
Mr.. Stassen has earned reputation
in his home State and elsewhere as
an able speaker and an expert, If
unorthodox, politician.
His early declaration as a candi-
date is cited as one of a long list OF
actions departing from normal po-
litical procedures, list which began
with his surprise nomination and
election as Governor in 1888 when ne
was an unknown almost without ex-
perience.
Also mentioned are his selection of
Joseph Ball, then a newspaperman
with no party background, to fill a
United States Senate vacancy; his
announcement, several months be-
fore the 1912 election, that he
planned to resign after serving only
four months of his third term as
Governor to report for naval duty;
his success in hand-picking Edward
j. Thye to succeed him as Governor
and his failure to become candi-
date for Senator last fall. He chose
instead to back Mr.. Thye, who won.
Good on Names.
Described as one of Minnesota's
hardest working Governors, he also
has developed to a high degree the
politically important ability to re-
member names. Associates relate
how, during his State campaigns
he would go into a town, meet
score or more of strangers, dictate
letters to them en- route to the next
town, and be able several months
later to call them all by name. Mr.
stassen habitually spends his travel
time debating letters and speeches
During his tenure as Governor
Mr.. Stassen sponsored the State
Labor Relations Act, with its To-day
cooling off" period, and the plan
of financial control under State
business manager"
Mr.. Stassen has made it almost a
habit to become head Of organiza-
tions with which he is affiliated
During. his terms as Governor he
was chairman of the National Gov
ernors' Conference and of the Coun-
ell of State Governments.
Mr.. Stassen is married and has
two children Glenn, 9, and Kathleen
4. He was born on small farm
near st. Paul and maintains his
home in suburban South st. Paul
He will be 40 years old on April 13
His supporters say his aim is still
good. Viewing his long list OF sue
cesses, they are certain he won't
miss his shot at the presidency.

the new situation created by the
British decision to withdraw, but SO
far the League has not responded.
Congress has announced its inten-
ton to 60 ahead with framing q
constitution for India but league
officials have refused to participate
on grounds that there is no solution
to India's problems except in par
tition of the country. Both sides
are much concerned. about what may
happen to scattered bodies of Hindus
where they are surrounded by Mos
lens, and Moslems where surround
ed by Hindus. If bitterness persists
such little islands might be exter-
minated.
Effect on Army Feared.
Already new conflicts have broken
out in Benares in the United Pro-
vinces where Hindus are in huge
majority.
Army authorities insist that the
contagion of communal disco1d has
not yet spread into the army and
that Sikhs, Hindus and Moslems
continue to work in comradeship as
they did during the war. But one
informed authority said that if con.
tagion once entered the army il
would spread fast" Thus India
would be confronted with indie.
pendence with the need to keer
order without the British but with
their own army not to be relied
upon to support the government.
The problem Of India's new place
in Asia as an independent nation
has been raised by Australia's invi-
tation to the country to remain
within the empire for security and
economic reasons.
A Ray Of Light.
That India recognizes its coming
new position was shown in the an
nouncement in the Assembly that all
Indian troops are being withdrawn
from foreign countries where they
have been helping in the duties of
empire. Defense Secretary G. S.
Bhalja said it was the government
intention to withdraw all troops as
soon as possible from Burma, Ma
laya, Japan, Palestine and Egypt. He
said some commitments had been
made to leave troops abroad "pro-
vided that our troops in no case will
be used to suppress any national
movement" He said troops would
be withdrawn from Egypt and Pal
estine Immediately.
Out OF the great tangle of COM
munal discord has come perhaps
one ray of brighter light. Leaders
of both Congress and the league in
the Central Government are united
on q budget whose long-range
scheme appeared to echo such
slogans as share the wealth" and
the -four freedoms" especially free
dom from want.
This budget, being debated now
in the Assembly, gave some indica-
ton that in time economic factors
would arise to break down the walls
of religious division.

President urged its further mple'
mentation at the forthcoming con-
ference at Geneva, for the setting
up of the International Trade Or
ganization under the aegis Of the
United Nations.
Since wholehearted and depend
able American support for this pro.
gram will, in last analysis, involve
the backing of public opinion ex'
pressed through the assent Of polit'
ical leaders of both parties, it i
interesting to note how the issue
of foreign trade has figured through
out our national life, especially as
embodied in tariff policies.
The United States started as ar
overwhelmingly agricultural coun-
try. Britain had discouraged the
establishment of industry in its
American Colonies, and since al
the time of our independence Bri-
tain was establishing its industria,
supremacy, it would have been diff
cult for unaided American enter
prise to establish a native industry
against British competition. This
led Alexander Hamilton to father
the principle Of protection TOR Amer
lean industry through high tariffs
and bounties.
Opposed to him were the agricul-
