Proposal of Fast Stops Bloody Fight

By PHILLIP TALBOT Times Foreign Correspondent NEW DELHI, India, Dec: 13. . Mohandas K. Gandhi, at 77 still " the dominant personality of India, faces the postwar world as an undismayed prophet of nonviolence crying in ever-widening wilderness. The extraordinary little man's place in history is secure. But India's recent convulsions seem to have sharply decreased the force of Ganhism. © Mr. Gandhi retains much of the vitality- that has carried him through 15 fasts, nine jail terms and a lifelong career of religion and nationalism. His eye 1s still clear, his voice

eongress,” he repeats frequently, asserting that the country's largest party belongs to {ts elected officers. No one is taken in by this pleasant fiction, of course. - Congress politics is one fleld in which - the old man's power is unimpaired. In this momentous and crucial year, the congress party “high’ command” has sought Mr. Gandhi's guidance at every step. Sometimes he talked’ directly with the British ministers and the viceroy. More often, he sat with Jawaharlal Nehru, Maulana Azad and Vallabhbhai Patel, Inspiring their chess-llke moves.

Influence Slipped

His influence possibly slipped when the others rejected a pact Mr. Gandhi had made with Moslem league President Jinnah recognizing the league as “the authori. tative representative of an overwhelming majority of Moslems in India.” Against Britain Mr, Gandhi spoke with the voice of India, But in the internal struggle many Moslems concluded that Mr. Gandhi was speaking with the voice of Hinduism. They charged hith with continual incitement of Hindus and with such unwelcome practices as linking Allah and Ramdas in his prayer talks. The Hindu community still honors and reveres him, One of the most significant developments of recent months, however, is the degree to which Hindus ignore his teachings of nonviolence. Hindus have battled their neighbors in self-defense, retaliation, or just to show their strength.

His Fasts Are Powerful

Mr. Gandhi's voice h#s been almost unheard between this Moslem invective and Hindu neglect. That is why he restorted to his ultimate moral weapon, a porposal to fast unto death, when apparently nothing could stop thousands of frenzied Bihar peasants from killing their Moslem neighbors. He knows that nothing else he could say or do would affect this country as deeply as a fast. Copyright, 1M4, by The Indianapolis Times and <The Chicago DAU Dally News, Inc,
