Mahatma Gandhi, in India, told some of his more troublesome followers that, if they started up a civil disobedience campaign before he gave the word, they could get along without him as leader. This was exactly what some of the younger, more radical Indian leaders—like Subhas Chandra Bose—wanted to do. Bose was very vocal, in favor of complete independence for India, and that right now! Wang Ching-w’ei, Japanese puppet ahief in China, was burned in effigy in New York’s Chinatown. Some 3,500 local Chinese participated. Wang Ching-wei and his rival, the patriot Chiang Kai-shek, were the two bright young men of the Chinese George Washington, Dr. Sun Yatsen. Finland and Russia resumed diplomatic relations, and Ivan Zotov was named as new Russian minister to Helsinki. He was moved there from the same job in nearby Latvia. Zotov is considered hostile to the allies.
