an Question Revive Hope Intervention in

Fight for Independence.

By A. T

. STEELE

CALCUTTA, Nov. 5.—Once more Indian nationalists are looking to the United States as their big white hope.

The ‘net result of the recent ments and newspaper articles

succession of speeches, stateon the Indian question in the

United States have been to revive Indian hopes of American

intervention,

‘There is no doubt that Mohandhas K. Gandhi and his

lieufenants’ had counted heavily on such help when they launched their civil disobedience / movement three! months ago but their expectations were rudely dashed by the American. reaction to the wave of violence” which fol-

lowed Gandhi’s arrest. Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru had drawn false conclusions from the words of sympathy poured into their ears by American friends. They counted on much more support than they got. Once. again cables from America are bringing words of encouragement from the United States : to the Indian : nationalists and ' while the Indians are inclined to be more skeptical than before, there is a tendency to indulge in a great deal of wishful thinking. The Indians see Mr. Steele in President ‘Roosevelt's liberal interpretation of

L. Willkie’s resounding declaration of rights for oppressed peoples and the writings of men like Louis Fischer, Bertrand Russell, Henry Luce and others, a concerted pressure campaign on the British which may yet bring results despite the declining momentum of the civil disobedience movement. If these noble words. again prove a, mirage there will, of course, be another reaction of bitterness.

Parties Deadlocked

It appears now that the Indian parties have reached a deadlock in their efforts to agree on a common program and that only if the British take the initiative with a more generous offer than any they have made before is there any possibility of rallying a substantial part of the Indian population to full support of the allied war effort. Even then it is a gamble. «=. Numerous as have on proposed by numerous groups. While they differ considerably in detail, there is a common thread which runs through most of them— the demand that the British show willingness to part with power now in order to make possible the establishment of an Indian national government for the duration. On this point nearly all important groups are agreed and it may be said with flat assurance that no scheme which the British might try to put into effect for the war pericd would stand any chance of obtaining wide popular support unless it involved the transfer from the British to the Indians now of a greater degree of power than was envisaged by Sir Stafford Cripps’ proposals. Complete Indianization of the viceroy’s executive council would be meaningless to the Indians as long as the viceroy retains, as now, the power of veto on all matters. This question of the wartime status of the Indian government is a bigger obstacle to immediate solution than the issue of post-war in-

, dependence, which already has been | &

promised in principle. The extent of Indian support of an Indian natibnal government would depend on thie extent of actual responsibility surrendered by the British.

i Surrender Total Power? ‘It is highly improbable that the

cumstances to surrender total power while there is a war on. Nor will the British be inclined to permit any radical constitutional changes before the end of the conflict. But various compromise proposals involving ‘partial transfer of power have been advanced which, it is claimed, would enlist the support of large blocs of the Indian popula-

The mildest of these is the scheme of Vernon-Bartleti, British publicist, who believes that the viceroy’s council should be Indianized with men truly representative of all sections of Indian dpinion and will to cooperate. Pending post-war independence, Bartlett suggests that a gentleman's agreement be put on paper agreeing that the right of veto would never be used except in matters of def fense, or foreign affairs, affecting the vital interests of the united _Bartlett’s plan and others similar to it-do not go far enough to suit many Hindu nationalists but they would enlist some Hindu support } and most Moslem support if at the

same time the British granted the demand of the all-Indian Moslem league for Moslem self-determina-tion (Pakistan) after the war. Certain it is that having already antagonized the predominantly Hindu congress party and fearful and not wishing to antagonize Moslems in India and elsewhere, the British will not agree to any solution of the Indian problem which does not have the support of the all-India league. Mohammed Ali Jinnah, president of that organization, is unwavering in his demand for post-war Pakistan which, in turn, is anathema to more radical Hindus like Gandhi. The British are confronted with the choice of carrying on the war, as now, with full support from the Indian masses, or enlisting such support as they can through a bold and generous move. Proponents of the latter plan point out that while it is impossible to win the co-opera-tion of all the Indians, it is better to have the backing of a large body of them than a fraction.

NEW HOPE IS SEEN FOR COFFEE DRINKERS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5 (U. P.).— The cup-a-day coffee ration may be improved as soon as certain corrective steps are achieved under the rationing program which becomes effective Nov. 29, LatinAmerican coffee experts said last night. They pointed out that much of the hoped for improvement hinges upon available shipping. Unless the shipping situation gets worse within the next year, they said, there is no reason to be overpessimistic since warehouses in cof-fee-producing Latin-American countries are bulging with the now precious bean. Furthermore, officials are striving to import as much of this great supply as possible—a factor which would work to the mutual benefit of both the producing countries, whose economy thus. would be aided, and to consuming North Americans who would have more of the beverage available.

‘DROPS OF GOLD’ ARE CALIFORNIA PESTS

. SANTA ROSA, Cal, (U. P). — “Drops of Gold” are being found in great numbers in Sonoma county. However, they are not causing a gold rush or much joy. The name is one given to a tiny round beetle-like insect of a goldlike color. It is a voracious leaf eater and wreaks havoc in gardens.
