Nearly 1,000 Washingtonians are co- operating in the production of the masque, which was written by Percy MacKaye for the George Washington Bicentennial Celebration. With Miss Margaret Anglin, emotional actress, in the leading role, the principal charac- ters and the several hundred supernu- meraries, choruses and dancers were assembled in the great auditorium of Constitution Hall early in the evening. Mrs. Marie Moore Forrest is directing the production, assisted by Miss Bess Davis Schreiner and Mrs. Maude How- ell Smith. Marine Orchestra Music.

Great Britain, on the other hand, charged with offenses against India which are nullified by the simple ex- pedient of the several centuries which intervened between the cited depreda- tions and Britain's actual entrance into India, was characterized by Miss So- rabji as her country’s benefactor. The British government already has offered India “progressive self-govern- ment vith the empire of Great Britain,” which, she contended, is the kind of goverrment desired by the majority of Indians. Gandhi, she declared, en visioning himself eventually as India’ supreme ruler, demands “sbsolute in- dependence.” Praises Imprisonment. Referring to the recent imprisonment of Gandhi, Miss Sorabjl sald: “Now that Britain has at last de- cided to deal firmly with the revolution- ary movement which has been weaving and spinning for us a shrdud of mourn- ing, golden threads of hope are creep- ing into that shroud to give my people courage In their anticipation of a glo- e Sorabyl, president of the Indian Federation of University Women, & lawyer and the first woman of any race to argue a case before a British court, gave these views in her address at the annual banquet of the Assocla- tion of Deans of Women and aug- mented them in an interview with s reporter for The Star. In her address to the brilliant audi- ence of American woman scholars, Miss Sorabji, garbed in her native gold-bur- nished and jewel-brillianted costume of rose-colored silk, spoke for two and & half hours. She traced concisely the poliical, educational and economic de- velopment of India, sketching in precise English, learned at Oxford University, her country's story of struggles against alien invasions. She recounted tragic and humorous stories illustrative of the caste system and the cs:persg‘umi of her people, pointing out how these fac- fors. aad to the difficulties of solving India’s problems. Defends British Aims. At the outset of her address, Miss So- rabji defended Great Britain's motives in entering India in the sixteenth cen- tury. She expressed doubt that England “had imperialistic ideas” at that time, asserting that Britain sought only to trade with the Indians. “England,” she declared, “kept stable everything she found stable in India, remember that. Remember that today there are vast provinces in India ruled over by Indian princes and princesses with whom England has made honored treaties.” As time went on, England found trouble between the castes in India, and in these she did interfere to act as arbiter, Miss Sorabji explained. Since then England has become a ‘“leader” of India, “teaching us how to govern ourselves,” she added. Citing charges of Gandhi disciples that Great Britain had wrecked India's schools and traditional handicraft, the Indian feminist branded them false. Britain's accusers. she said, quote “written authorities” which, on investi- gation, invariably prove to be “vernacu- lar books of the seventh century which their present-day users make con- temporary with the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.” She said she pressed Gandhi himself | for his authority in saying that Eng- land had wrecked India's “educational system" and got from him the explana- tion that he “was meditating one day and God revealed to him that schools existed which the English wrecked.” As a matter of fact, Miss Sorabji declared, the ‘“educational system” which did exist prior to Britain’s going to India T.

Likewise, Miss Sorabjl said, India's handicraft which Gandhi charges Britain destroyed was destroyed by rivaling castes and tribal invasions long before the English approached India. “And we were trying,” she said, “to revive our handicraft long before Gandhi began his spinning and weav- ing experiment by showing our crafts- men how they might secure money with which to live by selling their work. “Gandhl has tried to rebuild our handicraft by forcing the poor to boy- cott mill-made goods—which are the {only goods they can afford—and he and his followers do this by tearing the cloth from the very backs of the poor and making bonfires of the ma- terial in the streets without giving the victims any compensation for their loss.” The philosophy of the messes of In- dians was illustrated by the Indian femininist by citing the apathy Indians displayed in the face of famine. The people, she explained, believed they had “earned” the sufferings which befell them. The British, she said, have shown them that famine comes simply because of drought in local areas. By building thousands of miles of irriga- tion canals to carry water to drought- afflicted areas and 40.000 miles of rail- roads to transport the crops of plenti- ful regions to stricken areas, famines which once the Indians believed they deserved have been eliminated. Discussing India's slow progress toward stable government, Miss Sorabji cited King George's offer of “‘progres- sive self government witkin the empire” in 1919. “And that,” she sald pointedly. ‘“‘was not an offer wrung from England by the people of India, but was a proffered | gift, remember that!™ Held Destructive Force. At that time, she said, Gandhi, who had returned from business venturing in South Africa, urged his people to re- fuse the British offer. Then followed the first “round table conference in London” which Gandhi refused to at- tend because, Miss Sorabji contended, “he refused to have anything to do with any constructive movement.” In 1931, Gandhi was released from prison to attend the second round table conference “so that,” the Indian fem- inist declared, “even the forces of re lution might have a part in the great- est constructive movement in the world.” “Gandhi,” Miss Sorabji declared, “was the one non-conformer at that conference and with his refusal of any- thing but his demanded ‘absolute in- dependence’ the so-called passive resist- ance of bloodshed and revolution con tinued among the Gandhi disciples. Continuing, she said: “Gandhi seeks the dictatorship of In- dia. There is no room for a dictator in the self-government offered India by Great Britain and that’s why Gandhi savs, ‘war to the finish.'"” Commenting on the re-jailing of Gandhi, the feminist declared: “What you Americans do with your gunmen is what the British gover: ment has been obliged to do with Gandhi. In his latest appeal for con- tinuation of the revolution, Gandhi has asked the children and women to carry on the lawlessness because he knows minors and women are dealt with lightly by the law.” Britain's decision to be firm with the Gandhi revolutionists, she concluded, offers India her one ray of hope in her present difficulties. Called Publicity-Getter. In her talk with The Star's repre- sentative, Miss Sorabji dubbed Gandhi as “the world’s best publicity-getter, who has even surpassed your Americans who have made publicizing a fine art." “Although he formerly wore meticu- lous Europesn dress and was exceed- ingly careful about the knap on his top hat,” she said, “he now dresses as he does because be knows the publicity value of such conduct for his selfish interests.” Miss Sorabji acoffed at Gandhi's claims that he represents the will of Indis. The tes to the round table conference, she said, belied that claim. His further claim that he has the support of “all the Hindus" also 15 _erroneous, she said. for he has the following of only e revolutionary element among them.” “In short, how many Indians does Gandhi represent?” she asked, and re- plied, “30,000, and I have his own ad- mission for that when I pinned him down and did arithmetic with him!"

By the Associated Press. Rufus S. Lusk, an official of the Cru- saders, anti-prohibition organization, testified before a Senate subcommittee today that National Education Associa- tion has undertaken “a prohibition propaganda campaign” in he public schools. He charged there is a “tle- up” between the education association and the Anti-Saloon League.

D. €, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1942, LIBEL TRIAL DUE, CANNON HEARS Bishop, in Gallery, Listens as Blanton Discusses Tink- ham Challenge. By the Associated Press. With Bishop James Cannon, jr. listening attentively in the gallery, Representative Blanton, Democrat, of Texas told the House today a court trial of the clergyman’s $500,000 libel sult against Representative Tinkham, :?‘;pe:bucnn. of Massachusetts was as- Tinkham had challenged Cannon yesterday to arrange an open court trial of the suit. It was filed after the Southern Methodist churchman had been charged by Tinkham with viola- ton of the Federal corrupt practices Both May Be Questioned. “All that Temains is to set the date for the trial” shouted Blanton. “They will have Cannon there, with his at- torneys, for questioning and they will have George Holden Tinkham there ;’1‘:2 the bishop’s attorneys can question Terming Cannon a “spurious self- designated moral leader and ecclesiast- ical whitened sepulcher.” Tinkham in a speech to the House called on Bishop Cannon to permit court determination of his charge that the churchman was a “shameless violator of the Federal corrupt practices act.” He urged arrangements to have the libel action tried at the present term of the District Supreme Court. Represent- ative Blanton inquired why Tinkham's attorney had answered the bishop’s fil- ing with the contention that the Repre- sentative could not wave immunity. Tinkham replied he knew nothing of this and that “no sych claim has been made or will be made by me.” “I understand that if your lawyers will withdraw your law question,” ob- served Blanton, “there will be a trial. I hold no brief for Bishop Cannon. 1 am just interested in what the real facts are that keep you from going to the bat.” Tinkham's charge was first made on the House floor. At the bishop's chal- lenge, he repeated it ouside, expressly waiving congressional immunity. The whole affair is the outgrowth of the churchman’s participation in the anti- Smith campaign of 1928 and his failure | to report some campaign contributions. Recently the District Supreme Court sustained the clergyman’s demurrer to an indictment charging him with vio- lating the law in 1928 bv failing prop- erly to report $65300 in campaign contributions to his Anti-Smith Demo- crats’ Committee from E. C. Jameson, New York Republican. “Bishop Cannon did not dare to sub- mit himself to cross-examination under oath before a senatorial committee in | relation to the handling of funds which he received for political purposes dur- ing the 1928 presidential campaign,” Tinkham said. He continued: “There is still a way. however, for this House and the country to learn the damning facts in this case * * * I hereby call upon him through his counsel to arrange with the counsel representing me for an early trial at this term of court before it adjourns at the end of June.” Tinkham said the bishop had prom- ised to present “important facts” on the case when the Government takes its appeal on the demusrer ruling, but added: “Unless Bishop Cannon's statements are made under oath, when he is sub- | ject to cross-examination. they will be utterly worthless and will merely be a travesty upon the truth.” “Bishop Cannon, according to the press, apparently will escape confine- ment at the Federal Penitentiary at Atlanta by employing the same methods invoked by notorious gunmen and pro- fessional criminals, namely, by making a technical objection to the criminal indictment,” he said at one point.
