HOME GARDENS DRIVE PLANNED TO HELP POOR Seeds, Vacant Lots Could Be Supplied, Charity Leaders Told. Decision to inaugurate a countywide home gardening campaign this spring as a means of aiding in the poor relief crisis was reached Tuesday at a conference of county officials and social agency repre:entatives. Walter Clarke, attorney for Miss Manna Noone, Center township trustee, suggested the home gardening campaign whereby needy families would be supplied with seeds and plants and efforts made to obtain all unused lots as garden sites. Other phases of poor relief also were discussed with A Kiefer Mayer, chairman of the emergency relief committee, being given authority to appoint a garden committee and a committee to study county relief rjeeds. Both groups will be appointed later this week, he announced at the close of the meetuig.

Long Crusade Ends in Triumph; Gandhi Wins Rights for India

‘Great Sour Brings Peace to Warring Factions and Gains Justice for His Millions of Followers. In Iti* three preceding starlet, Milton Bronner ha* told of the dramatic rise of Mahatma Gandhi to power ament India's millions as he fontht m bloodless war for native freedom. Today. In his final story. Mr.' Bronner tells of the successful culmination of that war and Gandhi’s still rrarer problems that lie ahead. BY MILTON BRONNER European Manager. NEA Service (Copyright. 1931. NEA Service. Inc.) Mahatma Gandhi came * out of jail in 1924 to find himself a much bigger man than when he went in. The masses of the people believed in him. He had suffered for a cause. He had shown that in his frail body there burned an unquenchable spirit. But during his imprisonment many things had happened to disturb him. When the elections for the first Indian assembly had taken place’ in 1920, Gandhi and his friends boycotted the election. But while he was in prison the elections for the second assembly took place in 1923 and a considerable number of his former followers decided to run as candidates. Their determination was to work from within by obstructing all legislation. They were partially successful. Many laws were rejected and were only enacted by the supreme powers vested in the British government. But there was one thing above all others that distressed the weak litti man who had gone to Juhu to recuperate from his illness. It was the lack of unity between India’s Moslems and Hindus. At one time, Gandhi had brought about such unity in the fight for independence. The ignorant masses got out of hand and the culmination came in 1924, the very year he was released from prison. Moslems and Hindus were at each others’ throats, especially in the 1 north of India. Serious conflicts occurred. Gandhi started for the trouble scenes, despite the entreaties of his j friends and doctors. He had' reached Delhi when the worst out- j rages occurred. Gandhi stopped there and spent I nights and days in prayer. At last | he thought he had received from i the Supreme Being guidance as to what he should do. He determined \ to undertake a twenty-one days’ fast as an act of penance on behalf

of the sins and infirmities of his j people. Does Long Penance Once more his family and friends beseeched him not to undertake a fast which might easily prove fatal, but Gandhi remained obdurate. He came through triumphantly. He had done his penance. Gandhi returned to his little colony near Ahmadabad and threw all his energies into the spinning wheel campaign. For the time being he was more or less quiescent politically. In November, 1927, the British government named the Simon commission to examine into the whole Indian question and make a report. In December, 1928, the national congress met at Calcutta and adopted an ultimatum that unless the British parliament accepted a constitution proposed by Gandhi’s associates, the Nehru brothers, the nonviolent, nonco-operation campaign would be recommenced. This marked Gandhi’s formal re-entry into politics. Boycott Is Declared The situation gradually became more tense, and in December, 1929, the national congress met at Lahore, dropped the Nehru report, claimed complete independence, declared a boycott of all legislatures and launched a civil disobedience campaign. Following the Simon report, the British government decided to hold an Indian round-table conference in London early in 1930, but Gandhi and-his congress friends decided to boycott the conference and did so. On Jan. 26, 1930, he and his friends celebrated Independence day. That had a familiar American ring about it. On Jan. 30, Gandhi did another thing with an American accent. Just as President Woodrow Wilson laid down his fourteen points to the enemy during the World war, so Gandhi issued his fourteen points to the government of India. Demands Monopoly Abolition These included abolition of the government salt monopoly with the right of natives to make their own salt; freedom for political prisoners, thousands of whom had gone

to jail in India for his cause; abolition of political prosecutions, etc. Gandhi announced that if Lord Irwin, the viceroy, would accept these points, there would be no civil disobedience and the National Indian congress would participate in any conference where there was perfect freedom of expression. The viceroy refused to accede. Gandhi at once announced that he and his followers would begin their civil disobedience by ignoring the salt tax. Salt being a government monopoly, a considerable tax was raised thereby. Gandhi prepared a great march to the sea from Ahmadabad. Arrived at the seashore, they would make their own salt. On April 6, 1930, he broke the salt laws at Dandi. In the meantime his example was being followed in many other places and shops, where government salt was on sale, were looted. . Finally on May 5, 1930, the government arrested Gandhi. It was not necessary to put him on trial, as he had been released before, with a major part of his former sentence still unserved. He accordingly was jailed at Poona. In the meantime, the Indian round-table conference was held at London and a considerable measure

of agreement was found between the clashing interests. But the British government decided that no positive steps could be taken until the Indians of all faiths and political beliefs could get together further. They realized that nothing could be done so long as they held In jail the most powerful leader in India. Accordingly, Gandhi was again released—in January. 1931. He traveled down to Bombay and was greeted by an enormous and worshiping throng. He was still the crusader for India’s freedom, but he showed a more hopeful attitude. He was willing to talk business with the British viceroy of India—and Lord Irwin was at last willing to listen. The world knows what happened ; next. On March 4, the gaunt, halfnaked leader of India’s millions and ! the British empire’s viceroy signed ! the famous truce a.t New Delhi. Peace had come at last and India had achieved the promise of the self-governing status of a British dominion, the details of which are soon to be worked out at a conI ference. Gandhi also won his demands for

the right of the natives to make salt, thus ending the government monopoly; for the liberation of all political prisoners except those accused of murder; for the return of their confiscated property. Britain, on the other hand, was to retain control over the military and financial features of India’s government.
