This Changing World
India Violence Traced to Red.Trained
Group of Hindu and Moslem Fanatics

Of revolution, the handling Of ma
chine guns and how to command
troops in civil war. These last
named courses were compulsory.
The Indian students returned
home from Russia Influenced by
what they had been taught in the
Soviet schools and started preach
ing in their native land all about the
blessings Of communism. They kept
in close touch with their alma mater
and became imbued with the idea
that the old fighters for India's in
dependence were only stooges OF
western capitalism who wanted a
free and independent India only for
the sake of their own personal ad-
vantage and not out of interest in
the well-being OF the masses.
New Groups Organized.
New political groups were organ
lied in almost every important CEN
ter of India. Applying the lessons
they had learned in the U. s. S. r.
they joined, at first, the groups
which were fighting for Indian in
dependence. After independence was
won they started an underground
campaign against the newly formed
dominion governments.
A slow evolution in India, to
achieve the economic and social re-
construction of the country, is
neither to their nor the Soviets'
taste. Moscow considers it of para
mount Importance that violent dis
turbances break out everywhere in
the world, and Moscow's tools in
India are working toward that end.
1t was difficult to take advantage
Of the assassination of Gandhi to
start a major rebellion in India. But
the elimination of "Indias saint"
has removed the only real barrier
to violence.
According to reports received in
Washington the extremists are now
preparing for q major revolution.
It is expected that there will be
another period of great food short
ages in India this year. They may
give the extremists the excuse they
want to start communal disturb
ances which could easily be followed
by general uprising in which reli-
gious and racial differences as well
as hunger could be exploited.
The Indian government is aware
Of this condition and is said to be
worried over 1t. It's armed forces are
still young and inexperienced. The
government at New Delhi feels that
it cannot stamp out the extremists,
who are mostly underground or
hidden in new political, cultural or
social welfare associations. But the
Indian leaders are aware that they
will have to face a crisis this year.

The Great ame0fP0lit
Wallace Candidacy Ballyhoo Subsidies;
Experts Say He Can't Garry Any State

There Is no reason TO oelleVe the
situation has changed in two, years
rather the reverse. In brief, the
practical politicians, despite the bal
lyhoo, credit Mr.. Wallace with an
insignificant personal following and
believe his candidacy is of negligible
Importance so far as votes polled
are concerned.
From the patriotic standpoint
they. deplore the manner in
which he is playing into the hands
of the Communists here and abroad
but Democrats and Republicans
alike know he is making it easier
for them to collect money for their
1948 campaign, and are convinced
that when it is over the extraor-
binary weakness OF the elements
back Of him, compared to the noise
they make, will be usefully revealed.
Incidentally, 1t is interesting to
note that the Wallace candidacy has
created more bitterness among the
advanced New Dealers-the True
Liberals" of the old Roosevelt re-
gime-than in any other group.
From these a flood of denunciation
and invective has come. They have
excelled themselves in the violence
Of their epithets. There is hardly
a thing they have not called this
man they so loved once.
For the most part, everybody else
in politics Is calm. The Democrats
are not dismayed and the Republic
cans are not fools enough to think
that now they can win with any
body" So far as the great nom
political public is concerned, those
capable of thought and possessed
of memory, listening to and reading
the gibberish that comes from Mr..
Wallace and realizing the sinister
nature of his hackers, must shud-
der when they recall by what . mar
row margin this man missed being
the present President Of the United
States. -....... ..,..--..---.-
! Certainly, It was mot the late
Mr.. Roosevelt's fault NE Isl hot

welt was all set to renominate him
for Vice President. He ditched him
only under great pressure. 1t was
those Democratic and not very
savory city bosses-Frank Hague,
Eddie Kelly and Eddie F1ynn-who
forced him to give way, solemnly
assuring him, that Mr.. Wallace
would cost him millions Of votes In
the big cities If he insisted on nam
ing him. Characteristically, though
he had told Henry he wanted him
again as his running mate, he did
not insist. A lot Of hard things have
been said about these three tough
old city bosses-and mostly they
deserved what was said-perhaps
more. In view, however, Of the I'M
mitigated calamity from which they
saved the American people IN this
instance, one is disposed to forgive
them all the sins they have COM
mitted In the past and any they
may commit in the future.

regulars, largely nationalist in their
sentiments, who will want q safe
place to 60.
Both Speaker Martin and Senator
Vandenberg have maintained con-
spicuously friendly relations with
Senator Taft and Gov. Dewey,
avoiding words or acts that might
wound. Neither leading contender
has any reason to complain of them
as they have, for example, Of Mr..
|Stassen.
Their availability will pose a nice
puzzle to the party warwicks should
the deadlock occur.
The safe and sane speaker with q
prewar voting record conservative
and isolationist In character would
represent a right turn domestically
and, at most, nationalism in foreign
affairs. Senator Vandenberg, more
liberal, would stamp the interna-
tionalist label on the party. 1t
would require some dizzy efforts to
nudge either to the middle ground
beloved of politicians. One cynical
verdict: It will be the one who looks
most like q winner the night the
nomination is made.
New Wave of Publicity.
A vast new wave of favorable
publicity is being predicted for Sen
ator Vandenberg.
In the Democratic Party the
liberals are the most articulate
have the most vivid imaginations
and the best access to organs OF
public opinion. In the Republican
Party, the internationalists are the
best publicists. Hence the tongue
in-cheek prediction of Senator
Brewster in Detroit that in few
weeks Senator Vandenberg would
soon head the polls Of popular
opinion. Polls unquestionably have
become important propaganda and
as one detractor points out, they
only have to be right the last month
A possible gauge of Senator Van
denberg's responsiveness to the new
situation may be the Marshall Plan
He has shown q more critical spirit
OF late and may make a real attempt
at a foreign policy leadership thai
would remove him from any me-toe
charge.

agent, as the Constantine Brown.
Russians intimated in their news
papers and radio broadcasts, nor a
Communist agent, as some reports
from India seemed to imply.
In recent years new groups OF
fanatical Hindus and Moslems have
made their appearance in the poll
tics of that strife-ridden country.
These groups have been their in
spiration from Moscow and are
striving to adapt the Soviet pattern
completely to India.
Studied at Lenin School.
The principal members of the
group are Indians of all creeds who
have studied at the Lenin School in
Moscow and at its branch institu-
ton in Baku.
For many years before the out
break of World War II thousands
Of Indian students left the country
each year to attend universities in
the United States, Britain, France
and Germany. Gandhi himself was
graduate of an English law school
Because of the difficulties created
by the war these young men could

government stepped into the breach
and offered to accept Indian stu

The Soviet government paid their

as well as all expenses connected
with studies which, of course, in
cluded board and lodging.
The young men were given courses
in whatever subjects they chose, but
they were strongly indoctrinated at
the same time with the theory OF
Marxism and Leninism. Further
more, they were taught military

tinctly Is not true that the Repub-
licans-at least those with any grasp
on political realities-are greatly ex-
allied by the Wallace candidacy.
And, 1t is not true that the regular
Democrats are deeply depressed.
On the contrary, most experienced
men in both parties are agreed not
only that Mr.. Wallace will carry no
State but inclined to believe that he
will not poll enough votes in any
State to affect the result.
To some extent this conviction
is based on the record of the
La Toilette Progressive party
in 1924. The elder La Toilette, an
eloquent and formidable senator
made a flaming campaign for the
common man." He was In every
way a bigger and better balanced
candidate than Wallace. He had a
great deal more labor union support
than Mr.. Wallace. The radicals
and crackpots all rallied behind him
and his campaign was well financed,
Two weeks before election scared
politicians believed he would carry
10 States and throw the elec-
ton into the House Of Representa-
tives. On election day he carried
his own State of Wisconsin but did
not poll in any other State enough
votes to affect the result.
Not only Is there no State which
Mr.. Wallace possibly could carry
but no one believes he will get
anything like the total Of 5000, 000
votes cast for Senator La Toilette
Take the State of New York, where
Mr.. Wallace will be supported by
the Communist party, a Commu-
nist-controlled American Labor par
ty, the Communist-inclined labor
leaders and the extreme radicals
generally. Wild apprehension has
been expressed that this insures Mr.
Truman's defeat, which is ridicu-
lous. Mr.. Truman very easily may
lose New York and easily be de-
feated. But, it will not be because
of Mr.. Wallace. Those who think
so apparently forget that the Demo
Gratis lost New York in 1916, when
every element, including the Com
munists now behind Mr.. Wallace,
the so-called liberal party" which
had split away from the American
Labor party: the American Labor
party, the CLIO, the AFL and every
other labor faction, were lined up
against the Republican ticket.
They put everything they had into
that fight and Gov. Dewey muir
dered them, carrying the State by
100000 majority. In 1914 1t was
clear that, with Roosevelt running
and a war on, the Democrats could
not carry the State without the
votes controlled by the ALP and
the Liberal Party. In 1946 it was
clear they could not even come
close to carrying 1t with those votes

Withdrawn, many politicos narrow
the field to two-Senator Vanden-
berg and Speaker Martin.
The Speaker privately agrees with
this diagnosis and cheerfully waits
to see the cards fall. The Sena-
tor, displaying an incredible talent
for discretion, stands on his story
that the office must seek the man
and rarely does. But he Is notice
ably jovial too.
Line Up for Deadlock.
It Is felt here that the new VAN
denberg boom also represents the
determination of Republican inter-
nationalist to keep strong second
man lined up in case the deadlock
develops. That powerful COP wing
knows 1t can hardly get Harold
Stassen; it has now lost Gen. Eisen-
hover. 1t was inevitable that 1t
would not allow matters to drift te
the point where it did not have a
pleasing alternative to offer q
smoke filled room.
Similarly the Speakers strength
derives from his appeal to the party

Japanese planes two months later.
In this month of October, 1887,
Undersecretary Welles evolved an
idea for world peace plan. He
drew up long memorandum and
took it across the street to the Pres
ident. He wanted the President to
convoke a spectacular White House
meeting of all the diplomatic repre-
sentatives in Washington on Armis-
tice Day, November IL. There the
President would make dramatic
appeal to the nations to sit down at
a conference table and work out
bases for peace.
The President would outline these
bases. One was agreement on prin-
ciples Of international conduct; an
other was disarmament: third was
economic stability. He would con-
clude that, unless a peace policy
were turned to. peace could not
much longer be maintained.
President Embraced Idea.
Almost before knew 1t, I found
the President completely embracing
this project. The colorful drama to
be staged in the White House ap-
pealed to him. For several years he
had pondered the idea of inviting
the heads of the nations OF Europe
to hold a meeting with him at sea.
Around a table aboard q battleship
or cruiser he would work out with
them lasting peace.
He had not reached the point OF
making a formal proposal, but he
had sounded out q few persons, and
word of his idea spread, The reac-
ton, however, was none too favor
able. Ambassador William Phillips,
in Rome, wrote me on october 8,
1896, after his first audience with
Mussolini: "It is evident that Rosso
(Italian Ambassador in Washing
toni had spoken to him (Mussolini)
Of the Presidents desire to meet the
assembled heads Of European states.
He smiled as he referred to it and,
without committing himself, gave
me a broad grin and shrugged his
shoulders"
I myself felt that the net result
Of such meetings as the President
was contemplating would be loss.
Something similar to what Welles
had In mind had been proposed to
Ambassador Joseph E. Davies by
Hjalmar Schacht, head Of the Ger
man Reichsbank, on January 90
1887, while Davies was in Berlin en-
route to Moscow. Davies cabled me
that Schacht told him he had been
authorized by Hitler to submit pro-
posals to France and England which
would guarantee European peace
secure present boundaries, reduce
ornaments, establish a new form OF
q workable League Of Nations, abol-
isi1 sanctions, and obtain colonies
for Germany. France was agree
able, he said, Britain not.
Schacht Sought "Peace Congress-
Schacht then said he hoped the
President would call an interna-
tional conference in Washington
When Davies commented that pos
sibly the President would not be
disposed to become entangled In
such a matter unless there were
some assurance Of success, Schacht
replied that the conference should
not be called unless an agreement
had been practically reached in ad-
