World's Eyes on Gandhi as He Returns to Turbulent India

Won Sympathy for Cause Despite London Defeat, Mahatma Believes. RY MILTON BRONNER NF.A Service Wriler T ONDON, Dee. 26. Mahatma pandhi, musing now in a little tent on a steamer's deck, is nearing* his homeland, India. He will arrive shortly after Christmas. And as he launches his career into another year, people in the England he has left behind are weighting his visit, considering his effect on the British, and the effect of his visit on Gandhi. It, may be stated at once that public men like Premier Ramsay and also the general average Briton, have been disappointed in him. Not in his personal appearance, but in his acts and also in his lack of action. It was hoped that when he came to attend the second round table conference he would be willing to compromise for the sake of definite action. But, as a cold matter of fact, Gandhi has not yielded an inch. Where he stood before he came to England, he still stands. Knew India Watched He was in a critical position. He came to London as the representative of the All-India Congress, which claims to represent 85 per cent of India’s vast and teeming population. His every step was watched by dark-skinned, collegebred Hindu reporters, who cabled back what he said and what he did. Gandhi knew that the vast mass of his people were illiterate, but he also knew that by word of mouth the news the Hindu papers printed would come to the remotest village. The lowly people trusted their holy man, and he could not let them down. And, from his and their viewpoint, he did not. He was adamant for India being master in her own house. He was unyielding in his demand that India should control her own army, her own finances. Puzzling to Britons And he puzzled the British. They could not get him at all. When questioned, he listened with close attention and he answered with what seemed smiling and disarming frankness. But when his words were weighed, he had given nothing away. It seemed to the Britons that he was a master of the weasel word. From a. certain section of the newspapers, especially die-hard Tory ones, he had a bad press. When they did not seek to make him a figure of fun, they impatiently said it was no use bandying words with him. The thing to do I was to send him packing and stand no more of his nopsense. Gandhi himself thinks his trip to England has been worth while. He explained to me that he had had many contacts with English people which he deems very valuable to his cause. He is certain that when | and if he is compelled to take ! action, they will understand him and his motives and help explain him to their fellow countrymen. Fearlessness Froved Everybody who knew anything at all about Gandhi, knew he was | fearless. He proved it long years ago when he worked an ambulance at the front in the Boer war, helping British troops under fire. He has proved it time and again when the. British authorities went alter him in India. He proved it again when he was recently in England. For, one fine day he made j a trip up to the mills towns of Lancashire. That was rather a daring thing to j do. The cotton textaile-mills of that section have been hard hit by the Indian boycott on British goods, j There was always the chance that j Gandhi might have a rough time i up there. Instead, it turned out to be a sort of triumph for the Mahatma. Out of work mill-hands and their women folk cheered him. Those humble mill workers —men and women—believed that the cause I of the union and the abolition of slavery was a bigger thing than j their getting cotton. So they saw in ' Gandhi a man battling for the complete freedom and independence of ;

All-Night Revelers Watch Execution of French Man About Town. BY RICHARD D. McMILLAN United Press Staff Correspondent PARTS, Dec. 26. Georges Gauchet, 20, millionaire's son, who became a drug addict and murdered a. jeweler, died on a guillotine outside Sane prison this morning, before a large crowd gathered in the fog for a glimpse of the execution. Gauchet went to his death silently, and without aid. His head dropped into the guillotine basket as the chimes of a nearby church struck 7. The curious witnesses of the execution included men and women In evening dress from cabarets, garcons, messenger boys, and laborers, who paused for a few minutes on their way to work. First Since Revolution Gauchet was said to have been the first member of high French society guillotined since the French revolution. The execution was the second in Paris this year and the third in France. A good-looking man about town, Gauchet. had a large fortune with which to amuse himself. He passed most of his nights in the cabarets of Montmarte and met a beautiful woman who, police believed induced him to take drugs and helped him squander his money. The boy was reduced to poverty and his friends refused to advance him more money. Police said he was under the influence of drugs when he tried to rob a jeweler’s shop in the busy avenue Mozart, in the heart of the fashionable residential quarter of Passy. Attacks With Hammer He attacked the jeweler with a hammer and then killed him with a revolver. "The verdict is just,” Gauchet said when he was sentenced to die. “Guillotine me as soon as possible.” The French legal code provides that the guillotine be set up outside the prison so that the public may witness the executing. Gauchet was given the customary cigar and glass of rum before he was taken from the prison. The execution was completed in two minutes.

PURE APPEALS FUR UNITY IN ROMANJHURCH Exhorts World to Worship Virgin as Intercessor With God. BY THOMAS B. MORGAN United Press Staff Correspondent VATICAN CITY. Dec. 26—Pope Pius XI appealed for unity in the Catholic church and exhorted Protestants to venerate the Virgin Mary as the mother of God and "intercessor with the Divine Saviour," in i an encyclical today, j The encyclical, “lux veritatis,” , asked "separated brethren and disi sentient children’’ to return to the j fold and made a final exhortation I to the brethren of the eastern ! church. "The objections which Protestants bring forward against the veneration of Mary are very clearly answered,” a resume of the encyclical said. The encyclical was issued in connection with the celebration of the fifteenth centennial of the Ecumenical conucil of Ephesus, which proclaimed the dogmas of the divine human nature of God's Son, the dij vine maternity of the Virgin Mary, and the primacy of the bishop of ; Rome. Seeks Reunion The council, which met at the ancient city of Ephesus in Asia Minor, condemned the Nestorian doctrine which aimed to destroy the complete unity of the divine and the human in the person of Christ. The pope said the celebration “offers the Holy Father the occasion of sending the Catholic world anew encyclical, which, according to the uses of the curia, is entitled from its first words, "Lux Veritatis.’ ” A resume of the encyclical issued at the Vatican said the pope "is firmly confident that should his words be diligently meditated upon they will bring not only comfort to Catholics throughout the world, but be the motive for separated brethren to consider that the Roman church has always been a faithful depositary and custodian of the doctrines of Jesus Christ; and that in the first ages of Christianity all other churches and religious communities of the east and west had recourse in it as an infallible teacher of truth.” “In the first placp, the encyclical threats with the supreme infallible teachings of the Roman pontiff,” the resume said. Christ Two Natures "After referring to the rise of Nestorian heresy which endeavored fifteen centuries ago, as preceding heresies had done, to divide the unity of the universal church, it shows, by citation of copious historical documents how in the gravest extremity the entire Christian heirarchy recognized the supreme authority of the bishop of Rome.” Referring to the unity of the church the resume said: "The August pontiff repeated the paternal invitation to dissentient children who, by ancient and modern schisms and heresies have lacerated the mystical union of the body of Christ, to return to the one fold of the sole pastor.” The encyclical then threats on the point that in Jesus Christ two natures, divine and human, are "united in one and only one divine person. "The sacred scriptures and tradition speak of only one. person as the same sole Saviour, who is called both Man and God— Man who is born, nourished, suffers, and dies; God who works the greatest miracles by his owp power. Mary, Mother of God "This truth afforded the pontiff the occasion to return to the subject of unity of the true church, which is the mystical body of Jesus Christ.” The resume said the encyclical finally developed the point that the Virgin Mary was the true mother of God, adding: "If indeed Jesus Christ is God, she has borne him and must be called Theotocos—that is mother of God. And if she is the mother of God she must be full of grace and adorned with every privilege. "Therefore we should venerate, love, and imitate her. "The objections which Protestants bring forward against the veneration of Mary are very clearly answered. Indeed the pontiff -iddresses them also in parental exhortation to follow the example of the Catholics in invoking the protection of the Virain as the mediatrix and intercessor with the divine Saviour. “The final exhortation was made by the pontiff to the brethren of the eastern church who also venerate Mary as Roman Catholics and who for so many centuries maintained themselves in unity with the Apostolic See and who in the Council of Ephesus saluted the pope as ‘the custodian of the faith.’ ” AIRPORT IS INSPECTED BY SOVIET VISITORS Russians Seeking New Ideas for Own Government.
