REVOLT IN INDIA LAID TO STUDY OF BRITISH IDEALS

HINDU STUDENTS TAUGHT WEST’S FREEDOM LOVE Patriotism Is Awakened by Education in Eng’and’s Universities. LEADERS CULTURED MEW Masses’ literacy, Poverty Contributing factors in Rebellion. Iterrwlth i* Iho *"-ond of a wrir* of articles on India written bv Webb Miller. Eurpean new* manager of the United Press, who flew to India from London to make a first hand studv of the situation arising from the independence movement. BY WEBB MILLER United Press Staff Correspondent (World Copyright. IS3O. by United Press* KARACHI, India, May I?.—The intellectual impetus for the Swaraj —independence movement against Eritirh rule paradoxically originates in Great Britain. It was the effort of British rulers to spread the benefits of western civilization, education and culture which largely has awakened the political consciousness of the educated classes of India, and led to an increasingly loud demand for a greater share in self-government. In the colleges and universities of England and India, nunureds of thousands of students avidly have absorbed the traditional British ideas of democracy and political freedom, higher standards of Lying and general welfare of the masses. It is these former students who are providing leadership lor the home rule movement. Many arc cultured and polished men of the world, speaking perfect English, holding lawyers,’ doctors’ or literary degrees, and entirely familiar with western political and economic history. Wilson Slogan Echoes Another factor which has intensified the movement during the last decade was the afer-eflects of the war. Wilson’s slogan of self-determina-tion fer peoples was re-echoed in India by the educated minority, and India was led to believe that its aid to the empire during the war would bring much greater concession toward self-government than was received. Yet another angle was stressed in a conversation I had with Ma Jinnah, moslem leader, member oi the legislative assembly, a well-known lawyer, who was educated in England. He pointed out that, sixteen modern universities in India annually are turning out tens of thousands of educated men, imbued with western culture, who can not find suitable jobs, inasmuch as the best positions in the army or in civil service are for the British, or already are filled. Many have joined the ranks of j the home rule agitators, hoprng that home rule will create jobs. Moat of People Illiterate Nearly every’ one I talked with believed there must be some alteration in the system of education. The great mass of India is completely illiterate. In the last census of 1021, 229.000,000 cf 243,0000.000 inhabitants of British India were illiterate. Only 14 per cent of the male population over 5 years old was literate, and 982 of ever,- thousand were illiterate. Two-thirds of the primary school students spend only a year in school, and only 5 per cent of the lowest classes of 60.000.000 untouchables have received schooling. The great part of the government’s difficulty of education in the masses lies in the impossibility of obtaining adequate women teachers, owing to the social seclusion of women and the complication of languages. For instance, in the province of Assam 109 languages are spoken. Swing Toward Vio'ence Rv United Press The independence movement in India swung toward violence and rebellion again today, although the government, appeared to be in control. Mrs. Sarojini Naidu, poetess and reformer, asserted her intention of continuing the campaign launched bv the Mahatma Ghandi by raiding the government salt works at Dharsana —a move that was considered certain to bring drastic action. At Peshawar British treops and bombing squadrons moved against rebellious bands under the tribal leader. Haji Turangzai. encamped on tae frontier. Raids were made cn frontier villages where uprisings were threatened. At Sholapur British troops established martial law after defeating attempts of nationalists to set up a new government.

The government alleges Holt and Butler were successful in the enterprise in Howard county and were planning to spread the organization into surrounding counties when they were indicted. Sought Governor's Seat Holt sought the Democratic nomination as Governor in the 1928 prinary. During the same year, he represented D. C.

AIR STUNT TEAM TO PERFORM HERE

Curtiss-Wright Fliers Are Scheduled in Exhibition at Mars Hill. The Curtiss-Wright exhibition stunt team, famous throughout the country for its thrilling aviation performances, will appear at the Curtiss-Mars Hill airport Saturday and Sunday for a two-day program. Announcement of the event was made today by Charles E. Cox Jr., assistant general manager of the Indiana Curtiss Company, which is sponsoring the appearance. The team arrived at the Mars Hill field Monday evening from Memphis, Tenn., and will practice between new and Saturday. Program of the team will include dangerous formation and stunt flying by a trio of skilled pilots flying Travel Air speed-wing biplanes, speed demonstration by the Travel Air Mystery S monoplane, capable cf more than 250 miles an hou., multiple parachute jumps, outside looping and stunting of a glider. Included in the team personnel will be Miss Frances Harrell, skilled woman frier, who will “spin ’ a plane a few feet from the ground. Ten men will make parachute leaps almost simultaneously from a Ford tri-motored monoplane. Looping of the huge plane, which has been a part of the team’s program in the past, has been barred by the department of commerce. Another interesting feature of the program will be a series of loops to be made with a two-place glider, climaxed with a parachute leap from the glider. The glider will be towed to a high altitude for the stunt by an airplane. Members of the exhibition group include Swanee Taylor, C. L. McElroy, Leo Allen, J. L. McGrady and Dale (Red) Jackson of endurance flight fame. Jackson, who has appeared here before, will perform the dangerous outside loop, which few fliers ever have attempted successfully. Speed race, “pony express” race, and various types of formation flying, sometimes with the planes so close together their wings almost touch, will be included in the demonstration of the three speedwing biplanes. The Curtiss-Tanager biplane, winner of the SIOO,OOO Guggenheim foundation safety contest, which was to have accompanied the stunt team here, probably will not appear because of damages incurred when it was upset by a twenty-five-mile wind on the ground during a demontration at Wichita, Kan., last week.

Defends Youth Purdue Dean Admonishes Parents to Look to Own Shortcomings.

“'*7'OUR children are doing the X same things that you did when you were young. You lived in the horse and buggy days and they in the auto and airplane age.” This declaration in defense of modern youth was made by Stanley Coulter, dean emeritus of Purdue university, in a talk before the Stanley Coulter Club of the Second Presbyterian church Monday night. “You parents think the youth of today too blase. Things strange to you are net to your children because they were bonr to them. The problem cf youth does not concern me so much as the problem of the parents. We deplore children not going to church, but the child would go to church if his father stopped playing golf long enough to take him. “Too many parents allow children to ‘grow up’,” he concluded.

GRUNDY TARIFF VIEWED FATAL FORJNDUSTRY Rates Would Deprive Nation of Market Needed for Mass Production. Scripps-IJ award Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON. May 13.—Fears that the Grundy billion-dollar tariff bill would undermine the entire industrial structure of the United States by depriving the nation of markets necessary to maintain American mass production organization, has enlisted scores of business men, bankers and industrial engineers in the fight to prevent enactment of the new schedules. The spectre of general unemployment following the loss by foreign markets likewise has caused labor leaders to throw their influence against the proposed extortionate rates. Pointing out that less than 4 per cent of the plants in the United States employ more than half the man-power engaged in manufacturing, opponents of the bill declare that the breakdown of mass production immediately would reduce industrial employment by as much as 30 per cent. Between 7,000,000 end 9,000.000 thus would be added to the existing ranks of the unemployed. Standards Destroyed Even more menacing in the view of the experts who participated in the recent seven-year study of economic changes in America, is the threat that the high productive efficiency which has lifted American living standards during the last decade, would be destroyed. By throwing the whole industrial mechanism out of gear, the Grundy bill threatens to destroy within six months the whole of eight years’ advance in production, marketing and financing. Between 1899 and 1925, according to the economic survey, per capita production in the United States increased 76 per cent. In manufacturing alone the production per worker increased 35 per cent in the four-year period, 1921-25. This greater efficiency was made possible by the unparalleled extension of mass-production methods, and mass production was sustained by the growing export of American manufactures. Foreign Trade Needed The great significance of our foreign trade in relation to the prosperity of our industries and the wellbeing of our people,” said Commerce Secretary Lamont in his last annual report, “is each year becoming generally more appreciated by the business interests of the country and by all classes of its population. “Exports represent approximately one-eighth of all that our farms and one-tenth of all that our factories produce To cut off our export trade would mean direct loss of jobs to two or three millions of our workers, and to cut off our import trade likewise would throw great numbers out of employment. The attendant shock to general business, should foreign trade cease, would be even mcr" grave.” HURD ON PROGRAM South Side Club Group to Hear City Official.
