CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON —_—— | India | India loots like a hotbed of friction, if not worse’ trouble, for England at this time, and no spot on the face | of the globe will receive so much attention in the com- ing weeks. probably, as the land of the Moguls. Three hundred million unletiered natives are demand. ing independence through learned icaders who have been | educated in England but, after all, are simply mutts like Mahatma Ghandi. This latter leader, when appraised by an Occidental, does not seem to amount to more than a super moron, after all. He asks for independence ; as though all his followers had had the benefit of an education like himself. India is to all intents and pur- poses simply a rabble, however. There is nothing in common between the unwashed horde of Hindus, Moham- | medans and low caste natives and the Declaration of In- " dependence, which, in part, they had the nerve to adopt as the expression of their desires. Nevertheless their at- titude constitutes the greatest menace to British security in India since the Sepoy rebellion. If the present agitation culminates in the formal adop- tion of a declaration of independence by the nationalist group—as seems inevitable — practically anything can happen. It seems quite obvious that British rule may be about to get the severest test it has had since the Sepoy Mutiny. Just how extensive the demand for independence may be is a matter for speculation. India has 300,000,000 in- habitants—but the vast majority is unlettered and ignorant, neither knowing nor caring much about the matter. The British have had vast experiences in hand- ling colonial problems, and the probabilities, of course. are that the approaching crisis will be handled with| cool, unflustered competence. The immediate future, however, will very likely prove trying time. The situation will be well worth watching. According to word from Lahore, the new working com- mittee of the India National congress decided to author- ize the president of the congress to call upon all native congressmen in the various legislatures to resign im- mediately. The action will be the first step in the move to gain independence for India through non-cooperation with the British governmental machinery. The committee also fixed January 26 as the date for © nationwide demonstration in support of the congress’ new creed—which was defined as “puran swaraj” or “complete independence.” A small deputation of the working committee con- fidered it desirable to wait before giving such definite shap2 to the policy of civil disobedience, so as to see whether any future repressive action of the government could be made an issue for civil disobedience on an in- dividual or mass scale. Under the leadership of the left wing a rump congress was held upon dispersal of the regular meeting and what ‘was termed a “Democratic party” within the congress- ional ranks formed. ‘The new party was compared to the Independent Labor party in England. The néw party will carry on with the program of the National Congress, but might differ on details while indorsing principle. ‘The rump session had its beginning in the withdrawal of 30 members from the congress when the minority failed to gain representation on the new working com- mittee of the congress, whose membership was dictated by Mahatma Gandhi. One of the first acts of the congress was to entertain motion for a resolution warning subscribers to Indian loans that debts incurred in the present administration by other than purely Indian national interests would be repudiated by a national government if it came to power. The British government fears no emergency with boven | it will not be able to cope with the police and military | forces already in that country. The present military | strength there is 45,000 English troops and 120,000 Indiau troops. ‘The bulk of all these forces is stationed on the north- west frontier, with only small garrisons scattered through India as a whole. But in case of need, the interior points | could be quickly strengthened by the transfer of troops from the frontier. So the army appraisal of the situa- tion is to the effect that, unless widespread disturbances throughout large sections of India and attacks on the * frontier occur simultaneously, there will be no need to send more troops from England. F; But this precautionary taking account of stock as to what strength is available by no means indicates the! Sovernment ts contemplating any serious need for actual- | ly using that strength to maintain order in India because i) of the present agitation of the Lahore Nationalist con- gress for independence. On the contrary, little disorder i 4s expected and anything like a general uprising is cou- | sidered entirely out of the question. If the Nationalist congress sees fit to exercise its 4 newly acquired authority to order a regime of civil dis- _ @bedience, including a refusal to pay taxes, it is expected ‘by the government that the experiment will be made in ome rcstricted area in which there already. exists com- munity discontent and resentment over some extrane- ing whatever among the 70,000,000 Mohammedan: the 30,000,000 “untouchables,” the 70,000,000 in- habitants of India’s independent states and the 3,000,000 Sikhs, That gives a total of 173,000,000 natives who are either actively against or entirely indifforent to the demand for revolution and independence. Th remaining 147,000,000 cannot be so easily classified as to what they would do in an emergency, for they are not to be counted in terms of racial and religious dis- tinctions and with reference to complete social ostracism They arc mostly Hindus of all castes, ranging trom Brahmans down to castes just above the “untouchables. Only 5 per cent of them, or about 7,000,000 are literax and it is only from the literates that any political move- ment in India gets followers. So this 7,000,000 must again be divided among those who have been won over by Mahatma Gandhi's present attempt at revolution and the Hindu followers of the Liberal Indi: movement which is just as vigorous against the Struggle for independence now as the Lahore congress is for it. So it is a reasonable conclusion that the revolutionary radicals are backed by an almost neg- ligible proportion of the whole population of the country Furthermore, there has been a lack of sincerity, reality and enthusiasm even at Lahore. This city, with a popu- lation of 281,000, has 3,000 people theoretically qualified for voting for delegates to the Nationalist congress but only 300 did vote. Among many delegates from various parts of the country there was a touch of insincerity in their ignoring of their own rule to wear only native homespun clothes at all times. They came to Lahore in European clothes which they put away for the time being and bought homespuns at the last minute in the same way in which they had to buy tickets of admission to get into the congress sessions. The refusal of the Lahore congress to accept the gov- ernment invitation to send delegates to London for a conference concerning the next step to be taken toward granting India a further measure of political self-contro! and perhaps dominion status does not mean such a con- ference will not be held or that India will not be rep- resented by her own delegates. On the contrary, there will be representation from India’s native political lead- by Mr. Gandhi. Flax in the Northwest It would seem that there is a great future for flax in the Northwest, in view of the difficulties of growing wheat for a surplus, while flax is in annual deficit. The United States produces scarcely half the flax it needs to turn into linseed oil alone. The Northwest is the sotc| region that includes flax in its diversification. This; makes flax a subject of vital concern to agriculture in North Dakota. The recent meeting at Minneapolis by which a num- ber of interests were brought to join in a movement to increase the production of this crop was, therefore, a notable step not only as regards flax but in the entire realm of Northwest agriculture. It seems a rational movement, this attempt to multiply the production of a crop now a deficit but commanding a high price. Jt would seem as @ part of the solution of the problem of surplus wheat production. Be: The trouble is that flax growing has had to compete with cheaper production in other flax countries, as Ar- gentina in South America. That would imply tariff pro- tection to the industry, by which the difference in costs of production could be equalized and the Northwest farmer given an even opportunity against the cheaper Latin American producer. Then there is another problem for the Northwestern grower. The technique of growing flax has not been ab- sorbed as it should be. The meeting at Minneapolis con- ceded that flax. production was on a haphazard and slipshod basis and that, commercially, it was necessary to put a new foundation under this branch of Northwest agriculture. This the conference tried to supply by a union of va- rious elements back of flax culture. Notably among these were the Northwestern agricultural colleges, which entered whole-heartedly into the venture of speeding up flax as a Northwest crop. They will produce pamphlets on flax culture in an effort to educate farmers to grow it. The Minneapolis Tribune, which has specialized on the study of flax culture, asserts that “the proper pro- tective tariff rate for flaxseed should be 84 cents, with @ compensatory duty of 5.65 cents on linseed oil. The Present rate is 56 cents; the senate has tentatively moved it up to 65 cents. Our agricultural economists, however believe, it continues, that our Northwest farmer's ability to compete with the Argentine flax grower Is not to be definitely assured unless and until the rate is raised to & cents. Hence the fight for a proper tariff rate on flaxseed must continue.” The Minneapolis paper also argucs that “since we do not produce enough flax to meet even half our domestic requirements, it is apparent that the acreage of flax could be safely increased, and in generous proportions. But particular attention is to be given the far more important matter of increasing the yield per individual acre. Profit to the farmer, after all, is the key to the whole situation,” it says. ‘The proposed movement is undoubtedly a healthy one says the Tribune. ~It continues by saying “it thoroughly und but it does see the great value to the North- west in the diversion of these millions of American dol- lars from the Argentine to our section of the country. It also sees the value to the Northwest in throwing more emphasis upon the production of under-produced com- modities and less emphasis upon the production of over- Produced commodities. In that way we even our whole scale of production and tend to ease the surplus problem. The new movement is backed by men of force and intel- ligence, who are certain to tread warily and avoid the obvious pitfalls. We are happy to note that so timely and valuable a campaign is under way, and wish it every success in the world.” A French mole modisie.asserts the well-dressed man needs €0 sults of clothes.
