This Fall a Chinaman, working on the boat, who evi- dently knew how big China’s population was, asked ahout the war from the ra- dio man. “How she go, war?” The Tadio guy, kidding him, said, “Yesterany Chinese lost 500 men, Japavese 3 men.” Next day China- man back again, “Catchem mo' news?” “Sure. Chinese lost 600 men, Japa- nese 2 men.” Third day: “What air say about war today?” “Chincse lost 700, Japanese lost 1 man” Chinaman was pleased and said, “Plenty soon be no Japa- nese left CREEN PROPOSES S DAY WORK WEEK Declares Basis of 35 Hours Wouid Provide Employ- ment for All* A five-day, relieve 35-hour working week to uncmployment was proposed yesterday by William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor.

By the Associated Press. LONDON, December 4.—Mahatma Gandhi, in a farewell interview before his return to India after the second round table conference, declared he regards the new British government ordinances in Bengal “as a caute of war unless they remain on paper and are not enforced.” “And,” he added, “I canmot imagine crdfnances of that kind not being en- forced.” The new ordinances, promulgated last Monday, give the Bengal government power to impose sentences of death or life exile upon persons convicted of sub- versive acts against the crown. Calls Situation Martial Law. The measures was,decided upon, it was statedlat the time, After it became ap- parent that the extreme Indian Na- tionalists would not achieve their de- mands at the round table conference, creating the prospect of a new fight for Indian independence. Ordinary laws, the Mahatma said, would have been adequate for dealing with the Bengal situation. “These ordi- rances,” he said, “mean legalized mar- tial law. They are unworthy of a strong civilized government.” “I have had further talks with Prime Minister MacDonald, Sir Samuel Hoare and others, but I have heard nothing to cause me to change my provisional opinion that we have reached the part- ing of the ways” In any event, he said, the degision will rest with the Nationalist Congress, The Congress, he explained, would be justified in instituting civil diso- bedience in given districts if the Nationalists were unable to obtain re- dress by other means. Sees New Disobedience. “The terribly repressive ordinances introduced by the Viceroy in Bengal however, may upset all calculations,” he added, “and may precipitate civil disobedience, even on a national scale. We cannot stand by and see a whole province emasculated by such meas- ures.” He said he regarded the conference as a “complete feilure,” but that his coming to England was decidedly worth while, “My work outside the conference has been far miore valuable to dme than my work igside it,” he said. Commons Upholds Policy. ‘The House of Commons indorsed the government’s policy on India last night by a vote of 369 to 43 against an amendment offered by Winston Churchill which would have committed Parliament against extending further dominion status in India, as it is now defined. The government's policy, as an- nounced by the Prime Minister at the close of the Round Table Conference Tuesday, calls for eventual establish- ment of a federation of autonomous provinces and states in India. Attacks MacDonald’s Speeches. The House of Commons indorsement the Indian policy came after Mr Churchill declared the world “has been what appeared to be a complete lack of backbone in imperial affairs.” He accused Mr. MacDonald of wish- ing “to speak Wwith two voices to two audiences.” “He wishes to encourage the Indian delegates with honeyed words, leaving out all things that displease them,” Mr. Churchill said. “The Commons, on the other hand, are to be induced to consent to his policy by a reassur- ing speech made for domestic con- sumption.” RUSH PRINTING EXPERT SERVICE BYRON S.
