THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MARCH 13, 1931 New Le MAHATMA STARTED » BLOODLESS BATTLE ~ POR INDIANS THERE “ While There He Learns His Countrymen Are Victims of Discrimination WON’T PROSECUTE HIS FOES} Becomes Powerful Among Na- tives and Britons Learn to Value His Advice By MILTON BRONNER (Copyright, 1931, NEA Service, Inc.) Chance led Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi from London to South Africa as an ambitious young Indian lawyer in 1893, but something—accident, fate or destiny; call it what you will— Placed him in a position there where a new leader of men appeared on the horizon of history. : ‘The fact that there was. such a thing as an Indian problem in re- Jation to the British Empire and to -white men impressed itself on him. ‘This was before the Boer war. There were two British colonies. Cape Colony and Natal; two Boer colonies, the Transvaal and the Orange Free State. In all of them, Gandhi found the Indian problem acute. There were some 150,000 Indians of all classes, castes and religious faiths ‘Thursday, In the first story in this series of four on Mahatma |! Gandhi, Milton Bronner told of || the great Indian leader's early |} life—how he was betrothed by his Hindu parents at seven, married to a child bride at 13 and went to London as a young man to study Jaw, during which time some one gave him a Bible and he was greatly impressed by the life of Jesus Christ. From London, he “was sent to South Africa to con- |j * duct a lawsuit and at this point Mr. Bronner Friday resumed the thread of his absorbing narrative. |; The EDITOR. |! + {in South Africa. Some were mer-{ * chants and traders, but the bulk were | laborers. They were indentured; * signed up to work for a period of * years at a certain fixed small wage. ; They were not free men. FINDS INDIANS VICTIMS | OF DISCRIMINATION Gandhi found a sort of universal | contempt for his countrymen. No! matter what their class, they were | all lumped together under the oppro- brious designation of “coolies.” Gandhi himself faced the color} question. He was compelled to take | off his turban in some places. Despite | the fact that he bought first-class tickets on the railways he was com- pelled to travel in the third-class be- cause he was an Indian. He found no} good hotel which would take him in. He was parred from good restaurants. In 1896 he returned to India for a short visit. He spoke about the! Gifficulties of Hindus in South Africa. | He wrote a pamphlet about it. He | called attention to the unjust tax | which was levied on indentured work- | men. This imposition—$15—was 50) steep for a poor workman that he could not afford to pay it. For lack of payment he was often prevented | from going back to India. Perforce | he had to stay in South Africa and | sell his labor at a cheap price. 1 But garbled reports of what Gand- | hi had written and said were cabled | back to South Africa and feeling against him ran high. | REFUSES TO PROSECUTE HIs ATTACKERS i} Gandhi arrived from India on a} steamer at the port of Durham, Na- | tal. He was mobbed and was only; saved from serious injury by a ruse of the police. He showed his belief in the ethics of his religion and of Jesus by refusing to prosecute his tormentors. This was in January, 1897. When the Boer war broke out in 1899, Gandhi showed his forgiving nature. He deemed it the duty of the Indians to stand by the empire. | He offered the services of himself | and his fellow-countrymen and or-! ganized an ambulance corps of 1100) men who did magnificent work. They | were not compelled by the terms of their contract to work on the firing line, but they did so. They were; well forward in the relief of Lady-| smith. Gandhi himself helped bear out of battle one of the sons of Lord Roberts. They were mentioned in dispatches and 37 medals were grant- ed to the leaders. Similarly in 1906, at the time of} the Zulu revolt, Gandhi once more} organized an ambulance corps. In later years for his work in South Africa, Lord Hardinge, then viceroy | of India, bestowed upon him the| much coveted Kaiser-i-Hind gold; medal. | The wars over, Gandhi once more; had a chance to think of the wrongs of his countrymen. Not only had the $15 tax not been taken off the in- dentured workingmen, but a new grievance arose. Under a decision by | one of the South African judges, it was held that no marriages would be considered valid unless celebrated ac- | STICKERS car] Con yo 6 in the whe sues wih Sepudcctupedredyaeyre yaar ye ENGUSH BEGAN TO REAUZE J WE WAS A LEADER OF MEN DISCRIMINATION AGAINST BROWN MEN AROUSED GANDHI = cording to Christian rites and duly | registered in South Africa. At one) swoop this ignored all marriages per- | formed according to Hindu or Mos- lem rites among the workers from India. Gandhi decided that the time to fight had arrived. He forged a weap- | on which was new to the world—| passive resistance, At his Tolstoyan | farm colony near Durban he trained | his helpers. | They would lay down their tools. | They would stop work. They would | resort to no physical violence or re- ply to violence with violence. In- dentured workmen refused to work. Indian miners left the coal mines. Gandhi and his lieutenants deliber- ately led marches of the idle from} one former South African state into | another, disobeying orders not to do so and deliberately courting arrest. GANDHI IS JAILED AMONG THOUSANDS Gandhi was sent to jail in Bloem- fontein and subjected to many indig- nities. Indian women joined with their men. Thousands of them, men Z ag oft —_—_— “GANDHI = “The Great Soul,” as millions of brown men in India call him today, is pictured above in a recent photo. Below, as he appeared when a young man in South Africa at the outset of his bloodless battles for Indian rights. and women, were imprisoned. The jails were overflowing. Troops sought to corral miners and force them to work, General Smuts, then premier of South Africa, was adamant. But the viceroy of India intervened as much as he could. English opinion back home was also unfavorable to the South African attitude. In the lat- ter part of 1913 General Smuts de- cided to name a commission to in- quire into all the grievances. The victory was won. Passive resistance had shown the way. Gandhi realized that he had an instrument to his hand which could be used in a larg- er field some day. In 1914 Gandhi sailed for England. intending to remain there a short | time and tien return to India. But | on the day he landed in England, he learned that Germany had declared | @ narrow escape from death and was then ordered to go to warmer climes. | So he went to his motherland. BECOMES POWERFUL LEADER AMONG NATIVES As soon as he recovered and for three years thereafter he offered to erganize an ambulance corps for the Indian government to work at the front-.in .Mesopotamia. But the viceroy assured him his presence was | more needed at. home. His advice was valued. His’ outspok- len words against secret revolutionary Englishmen ‘in India carried weight. In the. closing year. of the war he went on a tour of the villages, urging his countrymen to enlist and fight ; the Turks snd Germans. The tour war. | almost cost his life.
