He puts the wet strength in the Senate at 20 and in the House at 145. These figures would leave 76 drys in the Senate and 290 drys in the House. Any way you look at it, the majority of the drys in Congress is still very large.

It happened, however, that the Democrats were wet. “Despite claims of hopeful wets,” the statement said, “the dry majority in the House of Representatives has ap- parently been reduced only a few votes and the overwhelming dry majority in the Senate not at all.” The board, however, commented that the election showed & luék of ;m};x::; organization amon e drys parts of the ommtr‘y‘ “a state of affairs - which calls for immediate considera- .

By the Assoclated Press. HANKOW, China, November 6.—Local customs authorities today announced that during September and October red cannonaders between here and Ichang had fired upon commercial vessels on the Yangtse River 120 times and also had attacked numerous gunboats. ‘The outlaws, who infest the river banks for miles, have been preying upon commercial shipping in spite of the ef- forts of both Chinese and foreign gun- boats to protect private craft. Recent reports also indicated the at- tacks were continuing despite a Chinese announcement saying Chinese gunboats would sweep the river banks clear of these outlaws. At present the majority of the Chinese gunboats are tied up at Nanking and Ichang. Despite the Nationalist government's announced drive against Communists in Hunan and Ki: Provinces, advices from Hunan indicated the reds had gone on the warpath in the northeast- ern part of that province, near Ping- kiang, looting and killing freely while the military of that area fled. Reds were uldu‘wc}r:’lve occupleld Pingkiang.

BY GRETCHEN SMITH. Thirty-six years ago & young Indian girl defled the traditions of cen= turies, stepped from out the sequestered women'’s quarters of old Mother India, graduated from Oxford University and boldly took up the practice of law in Calcutta in behalf of the helpless, timid and ofttimes abused women of her race, Miss Cornelia Sorabjl, the ploneer of Indian women's liberties of 36 years ago, now a stately, dignified whose black hair is just beginning to turn gray, arrived in Washington yes- terday to pay her first visit to the American Capltal. Attired in the graceful, flowing gar ments of the women of her country, Miss Sorabji made an _unforgettable | picture, as with flashing black eyes she told of obstacles overcome in past and regrettable conditions to be over- come in India y. Miss Sorabji is a patriot and a nationalist, but not un- friendly to the British government. Holds Time Inopportune. “The extraordinary thing with man) of these so-called nationalists,” she said, e e S S me when eve le conceded to give the‘xndlms sell-lre:? o m. “‘Over 10 years ago, in 1919, the King offered us, as a reward for the part In- dia had taken in the war, what a great part of us wanted—progressive, self- government within the empire. Tha was much more than the Congress in 1884 had ever dreamed of getting. Un- fortunately, it was just when the prom- ise made to us was about to be fulfilled and implemented into the act of 1919 that Gandhi came back and started his non-co-operative, non-violent opposition program.” “In 1929,” continued Miss Sorabjl, “proceeding under the act of 1919, the commission sent out to examine further into conditions to determine our ability for self-government. Because the non- co-operators said not to give any infor- mation and started the no tax cam- paign, gland invited Indian repre- sentatives to come to England, so they could tell them in England, what they couldn’t tell them in India. “If they ean find a working plan of peace and co-operation as a result of that conference, there s nothing within reason that England will not give us for self-government.” Profession Comes First. Although Miss Sarabji is an astute political scholar, and came to this country to attend the Institute of Poli- tics at Willlamstown this Summer, her greatest interest is her profession and the betterment of conditions among the women of her race. “Indian women have had prvpe'r:g rights excesding those of Engli women for hundreds of years,” Miss Sarabji explained. “But the difficulty is for them to secure the enforcement of their rights. After the death of their husbands, frequently vast estates and large fortunes are left to Indian women or to their minor sons.

This woman, like most of the Indian women, could neither read nor write. She had merely been taught to make her mark, something frequently taught to women of property or wealth, Her business manager had secured her mark ‘to a paper. which, he told her, were certain deeds for & new home she * | had hased. purel . Trusting the man, who had taken care of her business for years, my mother's friend placed her mark as instructed. She had indorsed a tral deeding her entire prop. erty to her m er. Strictly ‘pur- dah’—that is, unable to see and con- sult the men who might have assisted her—the poor woman was helpless. “It was this woman's case which made me determine to study law and help my countrywomen.” Miss Sorabji's first case after re- ceiving her degree from Oxford Uni- versity was to defend an Indian woman accused of murdering her husband. Miss Sorabji not only secured her client’s acquittal, but found the real murderer and brought him to justice. “There is a great fleld for woman lawyers in my country,” she pointed out. It has hardly been touched. Be- sides myself, there are but two Indian woman lawyers in my eounzrk" Miss Sarabji is not only officially at- tached to the Court of Wards of Cal- cutta, but she has a rapidly growing clientele among the Hindoo and Mo- hammedan women of the “zenanas.” In addition to her achievements in the legal profession, the Indian lawyer is the successful author of many books dealing with women and the ancient traditions of India.

Lucas Sees Vindication. Robert H. Lucas, the executive direc- tor of the Republican National Commit- tee, went furl , asserting that “every- t | thing considered the result must taken as a vindication administration.” Chairman Fess of ¢he Republican Na- tional Committee said no outstanding issues controlled the results, which he viewed as a “crazy quilt.” It was to be expected, he added, that the Republi- cans would lose 35 seats even without the disturbance caused by the economic depression. John J. Raskob, the Democratic na- tional chairman, termed the Democratic sweep a “notable victory on clean-cut political issues.” He announced he would do everything in his power to have Democratic party view the tariff as an economic rather than a political ques- tion, “thus removing from business minds all cause for alarm and uncer- tainty * * * uncertainty as to how business will be treated in the event of the national that yesterday's election and future elec- | York mr;ntu give control of Qongress to our party.” He asserted “fair trade, not free trade,” was his y's aim. Alfred E. Smith, the 1928 Democratic standard bearer, said: “The le have responded to a peopl truthful and direct presentation of the | both pro 1issues.” Outlining his reason for considering the election result a vindication, Lucas the | Association Against the sald no administration had ever gone into a congressional election under such adverse conditions. The results, added, were “convincing evidence of the abiding faith of the thinking le of the country in the leadership of Herbert Hoover.” Chairman Fess said: “Viewing vesterday's election as a whole, there is an apparent absence of the general effect of any outstanding national issue. It is obvious that pro- hibition cut both ways across the party lines, but while forming a controlling factor in some instances, 1. developed no national trend. The tariff may have had its effect in isolated sections, but certainly it was not a dominating issue in a nationul sense.” Shouse’s view was: “The Democratic campaign was con: ducted on the issue of the failure of the administrat'on to meet its responsibil- ity and carry out the promises on which it obtained election two years ago. Em- theme were such items as the enact- ment of an indefensible tariff and the breakdown of the farm-relief plan of the administration which had pledged itself to rehabilitate the agricultural industry.” Await Prohibition Figures.

Politically ?tlklnl. it is difficult to imagine an off-year election whose out- come could have been more satisfactory to the Democrats. ‘:"hey made a con- sponsibill Congress or the actual management of legislative matters. ‘The Democrats, of course, will have a werful voice in the hext Congress. In act, together with a handful of Repub- licans who are always kicking over the traces of party lines, a practical majority will be obtained, but, in 1932, they will not feel that they are responsible for the legislative record of ngress. To put it another way, the Democrats in the session beginning December, 1931, and continuing through the early part of 1932, will be marking time, watching the mistakes of their opponent, who have the responsibility, and arguing at the same time that the Democrats ought to be intrusted with the complete con- trol of all branches of Government in the 1932 presidential election. Hoover Holds Key. ‘The problem from the Republican viewpoint has suddenly become cen- tralized in the hands of one man— Herpert Hoover. His party colleagues in the House and the Senate, who have been none to co-operative in the past year and a half, will now recognize the importance of supporting the Presi- dent or else participating with the Democrats in tactics of embarrassment that cannot but reduce the chances of a Republican Congress being elected in_the 1932 national contest. Mr. Hoover, on ‘the other hand, will be in a position to fix the responsi- bility squarely on his opponents in Con- gress, and if the next two years do not see the enactment of legisiation which he believes the country will need, the President in turn can say in 1932 in ;ubnanee: "%flma for the last two ears does nof u] me, but uj the mixed-up muufi" in connezm:" He can in effect make his plea for a continuance of power and a Republic- an Congress in 1932 with much more eflej%tflt'hln "dh:hnw a substantial majority an record w’%ntlcblgm was subject e Democrats are not going to let the tariff rest, but are likely go Taise the issue when they get into a posi- tion in December, 1931, to join with the insurgent Republicans in ‘revising the tarift or at least putting up to the President bills frequently known as P-gun” measures from the fact that a veto is usually expected. Mr. Hoover would then be confronted with the same situation that President Taft had in the last two years of his term when the Democrats passed all kinds of bills only to embarrass mhum adminis- traf and thus h ammun! for the campaign. " Supply Bills to Pass. None of this is going to affect the appropriation bills or relief legislation, for both ties will feel the force of public opinion and will not dare to R R o v soue ns rul it takes a skillful strategist, in fact a master of politics, to handle the situ- ation.
