GANDHI SCARES MUCH CAPITAL OUT OF INDIA Br' M sh Thrown Into Panic by Hindus’ Demand for Independence. BY MILTON BRONNER, Kf.A Service Writer. LONDON, Feb. 21. Mahatma Gandhi, the shrunken little Hindu whose worldly possessions are limited to a loin cloth and a simple cothas. with a few words, sent stocks and shares tumbling downward on the Bombay Stock Exchange and has started a flight of frightened capital out of India. Gandhi has no money to manipulate the market. He has no official po-it>on of any kind. He is not at the head of a great rebel army. Yet he has given the Bombay exchange heart failure, and his activities are casting anew shadow’ over Britain’s cloudy industrial horizon. Rinds Followers As head of the Swaraj movement, demanding absolute Independence for India’s 300,000,000 people, Gandhi recently put through the Independence resolution which binds his followers not to pay taxes and to disclaim all responsibility for debts incurred by the Indian government. Already, by inducing his followers to stop buying British cotton, and weave their own on hand looms instead. he has done enormous damage to the Lancashier cotton weaving industry. Now he has caused something like a panic in the Indian money and investment marts. The public is getting wary about, Investing money in industrial enterprises, and holders of government securities are dumping them on the market. Claim Exploitation The more belligerent Indians always have claimed that Britain has exploited India for British benefit, controlling its industries, draining its resources and enriching Britons and not Indians. British economists reply to this by showing that British investors have put more than $3,500,000,000 into India—more than they have put in any other country in the world. This money has gone into Indian government loans, into railways and into various industrial companies in India; and the result, the economists assert, has been to give India transportation and public works, to furnish employment for many Indians and to make possible the government’s w ! ar on famine and disease. Point to Imports This is met by the Indians’ declaration that they could carry on great undertakings themselves —and they point to the Bombay cotton textile industry, and the great Tata iron, steel and hydro-electric undertakings, all of native ownership. They add, too, that India last year bought over $400,000,000 worth of goods from England. So the argument goes, never-end-ing. Meanwhile Gandhi’s speeches are putting the Indian financial market in a bad way. And the worried British see more hard times on the horizon.
