into effect in January, 1921, and thej administration of the new viceroy, the Earl of Reading. Each of these elements have some bearing, directly or indirectly, upon the most recent trouble which has resulted In the killing of Europeans and Hindus by fanat ical tribesmen. Resist British Authority The disaffected area, Malabar, which figures in the most recent dispatches from India, is a narrow strip of land on the west coast along the Arabian Sea, south of Bombay. In this region

are upwards of 1,000,000 Mohamme-i

lahs who, for years, have resisted Brit-! Ish authority In this same territory are a number of Europeans and many Dravldlans, including Hindus, against whom the ferocity of the Moplahs is said to be directed. The trouble originated, according to the report of a Malamar magistrate to the India office, when the British authorities began to confiscate war knives possessed by the natives of Tirurangadl. Arming of the Moplahs was said to be In violation of the Malabar offensive weapons act of 1851. Sikhs

and other native Indian police, as well as agitators sympathizing with the Gandhi anti-British boycott, have been -charged with supplying the Moplahs with weapons and inciting them to rebellion. Would Destroy British Rule Mohandas "Karachand Gandhi, the Nationalist leader, at a congress held late In 1920 in Nagpur, made a plea against violence but called for the destruction of British rule in India and was quoted as saying that the success of the non-cooperation movement the refusal of Indians to pay taxes, end their children to school or buy British products might involve "wading through oceans of blood." Gandhi was invited by the Kerala provisional congress committee Aug.

28 to visit Malabar and try to pacify ( the Moplahs, who at that time werej killing Europeans and Hindus, de-i stroying property and proclaiming; "home rule" in all disturbed areas. j On Aug. 1 Gandhi with many of his adherents made a public bonfire of British goods in the streets of Bom-'

bay. He was not molested, but a few weeks later it was reported that the

government of India, with the concur-j rence of Edward S. Montague, secre-J tary of state for India, had decided , to take action "against the prominent! personages" held responsible for the;

greater part of the recent troubles in;

India. While the Malabar disturbances are a new development of the troubles in India, reports of rioting came from

other parts of the country. Sedition Is Advancing ' One such outbreak, attributed by the India office in London to thej Gandhi propaganda, occurred in thei mill area of Madras on Aug. 29. Sir! Michael O'Dwyer, former governor ofi the Punjab, in a statement last Jan-! uary said that "sedition 'fa India has advanced too far," and declared that! Gandhi and others heading "the revc-! lutionary conspiracy should b dealt;

with rigorously and impartially under the law before it is too late." The Earl of Reading, formerly lord

chief justice of England, went to la- j dia last April as viceroy in succession! to Lord Chelmsford. Lord Reading's arrival in Bombay was acclaimed as i a happy augury for the country andj it was said that with his aid, and thei establishment of the new Indian leg-! islature, peace and prosperity were! assured. One of Lord Reading's first' acts upon reaching India was to con-! fer with Gandhi. Thi3 conference took place at Simla on May 16. Thej Bombay bonfire of British-made goods several weeks later gave the only in-1

aieaiion or now Lord Heading s proposals had been received by the nationalist leader and his followers. Declares Reform Unsatisfactory Of the new government's reform bills, a committee of the All-India fonereps, in which Gandhi and his fol-

ror In dealing with disturbances, and particularly Lord Rawlinson's declaration of military policy," had cleared

away much misunderstanding and an

tagonism. Continuing, it said: "But the battle between constitutionalism

and revolution has to be fought this year. All over the country non-co-guised tyranny, too often accompanguised tryanny, too often accompanied by disorder. Mr. Gandhi deplores this for the moment. It is inevitable that as soon as the dismal failure of hi3 effort to bring all governments to a standstill is realized by the public he will be driven to take further

measures."

Dollar Value Fluctuates at Baenos Aires Market BUENOS AIRES, Sept. 15. The

foreign exchange market at Buenos Aires, which often has been described as one of the most sensitive in the world, has been the subject of violent fluctuations during the past week. This is attributed to heavy speculation in American dollars, based on

reports concerning the progress of ne-

gotiations of representatives of American banking institutions with the Argentine government for a $50,000,000

loan. The dollar today jumped from 1.39. the low point of Tuesday, to 1.44 and closed at 1.42.
