INDIAN MASSES UNCONCERNED : he situation in India, which concerns so many Americans, is not ‘understood bv most people, who think, if one judges by their words, that the crisis in India can be settled if the British would just make up | their minds, ~ i It is difficult; very often, to get the truth as to a situation at home. Obviously, it is harder to understand the problems of foreign nations. It is impossible whenever individuals try to determine, , policies by wishes-that take no account of facts\:i }The spirit between Hindus avd Mos- | lemé is real, with the Moslems warning that an. attempt to force them into a fed- erafed state with the Hindus will be met with violence. With Hindus demanding “free India,” which means matter for Indian agreement. :The crisis is further complicated by the fact that, outside of a few leaders, no- body in India knows much about what is going on and few care. This is borne out by the dispatches of Herbert L. Matthews, who | has-been in India for months, as the cor- respondent of the New York Times. ‘Writing from Peshawar, Mr. Mat- thews says the situation depends upon two fundamentals “of the Indian situation that prevail everywhere.”” They the masses have no political conscioustiéss and (2) the Moslems are steadily drifting into-the league camp. - The league, it should be pointed out, is the organization that threatens violence if the demands of the Hindus are granted by the British government. This is the time for churches and sim- | ilar organizations to urge their members to put more-money on the barrel-head. The | people have some cash and they might as well support worthy causes liberally, the-| giving their | leaders control, the Moslems rejecting it, | obviously the problem becomes largely a | are (1) that:! vaso sy ot qano V4 de You may recall the FERA days in Ke; CIVIC LAZINE. no!

Clarence Higgs, business agent of the Carpenters’ Union, is keenly alive to the importance of our acting immediately. Ray the. Federal Works Agency, drove around Key West with Higgs to determine the number of improvements we needed and could obtain by following a necessary, yet simple course. The improvements Kirk- patrick suggest¢d would entail the’ expen: diture of millions of, dollars, and, would’ keep at work se¥eral theusand:.:: men who, otherwise, woul be idle, provided they did not leave town { get jobs elsewhere.) The city cOuncil, responded. enthusias- tically to Higgs’ request to name a commit- tee to arrange for post-war planning, and The Citizen is confident the county com- too many precious days will be wasted if we to conform with the requirements as set forth by Kirkpatrick. effort. The Federal Works Agency has even allotted us $5,000 to pay expenses that will be incurred in doing the planning. The procedure is very much like invit- ing a man to a dinner that is already cook- ed without costing him a penny. How many of us are willing to make the effort to walk to the dinner table? id 2 Ever since Key West was founded, a practice, not without humor, has been for us to accuse one another of a lack of enter- prise, for assuming an attitude that what was good enough for grandfather is good enough for us. If we want to maintain our present growth, ora great part of it, we have got to kick out of that oldtime laziness that has characterized us in dealing with civic matters. It has been a case of letting George do it, and we have had no “Georges’‘ in our community. Let us stop blaming one another, and sure us our part of the post-war work that will be done in the United States by the Federal Works Agency. Too many meet trouble half-way and magnify it before it comes. Classified ents in ‘The Citi- zen do more for|tht ava aid to business. Is it RAY-shun or RASH-wn?

His expression was grave. But he was alert and ready now. | A pair of strong hands pushed the partially beached craft out into the stream. He step balancing precariously. Then he took his position near the center of the canoe, caught up the paddle, and suddenly they were moving with the current. It had all happeneu so quickly that Penny caught her breath.

Wolf, the. little malemute, raised his sharp muzzle and howled. Penny was thrilled. They were actually on their way to Frene’s shack. “Modern voyageurs,” she thought. “On the trail of Alexan- der Mackenzie and Simon Frazer —and the gentlemen adventurers of the Hudson’s Bay Company.” ‘LEVE’S hat lay in the bottom of the canoe. The light breeze rumpled his dark hair. He turned to grin back at her. “How we doing, tot?” “Fine!” She had to shout in order to be heard. The deep-chested, rumbling voice of the river beat in their ears. All Cleve had to do was to steer the canoe.

She saw Cleve hesi- tate, paddle poised, then-head in closer to shore. He wasn’t going to take any chances running that rapids. “At the rate we’ve been going,” Cleve said presently, “we ought to arrive at the old trapper’s place very soon now.” Ten minutes passed. Penny watched the shoreline, hoping to catch sight of a tiny cabin nestling among the trees. Maybe smoke would draw their attention to it. Another ten minutes passed. Cleve shipped his paddle, and frowned. He said, “Funny it doesn’t show up. I don’t understand it. Pd swear we’ve come at least fifteen miles.” An unbroken mass of spruce, pine and poplar met their gaze f prospet White water showed up sud-| thi now, “do you suppose we—we could have passed it?” Cleve shook his head. “Not likely,” he answered. “Perhaps we; just think we're travelling faster: than we really are.” "ak Hope $0,” Penny said.
