INDIAN POLITICS.

(By G. E. Powell. (‘imadinn Press COffCSpuJdCnl) CALCUTTA. Jail.

the new constitution for India came into being, thcre has been a deterioration in the relations of, the Indian National Congress anrll the leading Moslem political bcdy.. the All-India Moslem Icaguel Both are old-estnblihed Ofgallll- ations, but whereas the Congress has grown in strength from year to year. it is only in the last two years that the League has been revitalized.

There are 80.000000 Mosiems in. the 350,000,000 inhabitants of India and while the new constitu- tion was being evolved it was sien- erally accepted that the All-In- dia. Moslem Conference, a conser- vative body of recent formation, voiced their mpirations.

The League at that time was not effective and n. few years ago split into two sections. Then Mo- bummed Ali Jinnah, the well- known Moslem Nationalist, return- "ed to India, was elected its pre- sident and proceeded to restore its strength. He toured the coun- try organizing provincial branches and made the League in effect". and not only in name the only

representative All-India Moslem political institution. It fought the lust election in

the provinces, with varying suc- cess. In Bengal 39 Moslcni Leng- ucrs were returned. the Moslcin Proja (Tenants) Party had an almost equal number. and the two formed the coalition government now in power. In the Punjab only t/wo Leaguers were returned be- cause most Moslems preferred to fight Ullder uie bimmr of the Unionist party which, while pre- dominantly Moslem, also has Hindu and Sikh members. In the predominantly Hindu provinces the Moslems of course had no chance of getting a majority, but Mosle-m authorities in the Assem- blies there have I nucleus of Mos- lem Insurers.

The League seeks to conserve the distinctive culture of Indian Moslems, safeguard their religion. soc they get a "square deal” out of India's Hindu majority in re- gard to public appointment-B Ind political and economic opportun- ities. It supports the Communal Award. which guamnices to Mos- lc-mg a fixed number of smts Ill each legislature fillczl by svllil-“ﬂlc (purely Mosleml cltictorates.

With Federation it is s. different matter. The Moslems cannot hope to be anything but a minority in the Federal legislature and they are not keen on outlined in the India Act.

('I'lie Government of India Act provides for a bicanicral Federal parliament consisting of a House of Assembly and Council of state. membership to both of which will be elective in British India and appointive in thc native states. The federal Government will be responsible to pariiaiiient except for foreign affairs and defence. which will remain vested in the viceroy. The Federal part of the not is to go into effect by pro- clamation when the viccroy has completed negotiation of instru- ments ofacccssion with rulers of the native states.

(Under the provincial part of the act, already in effect. the 1i provinces of British India have autonomy and the Supreme Court -which defines the limits of pro- vincial and Federal povrer-has begun operntionsi.

The Congress would have In-

The CQIIEPQSS claims to represent India, will tolerate no polltjggl body but itself.

With Farm Conditions on Canadals Plains.

drought, low prices, crop failures, dust stomls more or less constantly for seven years prairie agriculture law is beginning to see a bit. of light in a general atmosphere of gloom.

It is not merely the light of hope of a good crap next year which springs annually in the minds of weste s farmers. It is the light of knowledge, scientifically accumulat- ed by painstaking research and ex- parlmont.

Ikperts can now see the so-called drought problem of western Canada in its true proportions. Already they have applied certain remedes which will make a recurrence of the acute distress experienced in the past year and in other recent years im- possible, uniess nature should visit the plains with even greater afflic- tions than any so for eXDerlenced.

The ioblem as scientists see it ls not due to a few abnormally bad years. It is due to a wrong agricult- ural methods. to poor planning of settlement, to ignorance and neglect of the necessity of putting land to its proper use.

The recent drought has not caused the problem. It has merely aggravated it. More important it has focussed attention on the real trouble of western farming and hastened the inevitable correction of past mstalces.

'

For instance, back in 1921 when the automobie was in less general use. and road-building was just making a start highway expend- itures were 0084, 881,000 and motor vehicle taxes were $274,500,000.

Year by year both items creased. In 1925 the respective fig- ures were $098,000,000 for roads, $617,000,000 in taxes; in i931 $979.- 500000 on roads. $940,735,000 in taxes; in 1032, $817,000,000 on roads. $966, 000.000 in taxu; and in 1933, when Xeople were definitely travel-mimic $808,000,000 on roads 31.188.000.000 in taxes.

The best example of all was in 1034 when highway expenditures were $831. 203.000, motm veifcle taxes. 31.200.000.000. ' This is a nice not profit for governments on their tax. Obvious- I_v if the tax authorities set out to give the motorist a decent run fcr his money, everyone would be better olf.

But even without the re- peated and general drought the cmmtry had trouble in store . General (lo-operation

Thousands of fann families have

had w rely on public relief or char- ity for the necessities of life. They have been unable to pay taxes and so roads, schools and other public services have deftei-iorated. The land itself .ba.rc of vegetation and swept by hot, dry winds has suf- fered. In many districts the soil has blown away. Because of lack of feed and water livestock have been sold off and shipped out of the country. Thous- ands of farms have been abandoned but despite this the total number of farmers on the prairies has in- creased.

The attack on the problem has boon centralized in s. federal or- ganisation set up under the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Act but it is really a co-operative endeavor fin which the provincial governments. the Universities of Saskatchewan and Alberta and a. great number of private organizations are talcing part

Permanent improvements in farming practices amd land utiliza- tion are the objectives of the "P.F. RA.” as the organization set up under the Prairie Phi-m Rehabilita- tion Act is known. Its activities fail naturally into four branches, edu-

cation, experimentation, physical works and long-range economic planning.

The educational work consists of instructing farmers in the-methods by Mitch they may get the best results from their land and avoid loss from drought. It is also direct- ed to the promotion of c- mmunity rehabilitation efforts and demon- strations of the advantages to be derived from co-operative measures.

Ono farmer, for instance. might adopt methods which would stop soil drifting on his own farm but if adjoining farmers did nothing the soil would drift over from their land and make his efforts futile.

More than 85 agricultural-im- provement associations with a total mambo ', of about 11.000 farmers havs been formed in the drought area. The members of these groups meet to hear advice from govem- mmt sgricuiturists and agree upon common measures designed to ef- fect improvements in their districts.

Besides these three strip-famiing associations have been formed for the application of a method-which has proved effectivo in stopping soil drifting.

Through the sssociaiicus the P, F. R. A. authorities are able to keep in touch with the farmers and sug- gest measures appropriate to differ- ent localities, Some associations are mainly interested in strip-farming some in seeding down areas t0 grasses. some in water develop- ments. some in tree planting.

Th5 experimental sub-stations are essen ially for the purpose of show- ing how crops may be grown even uudei" adverse conditions and how poultry, vegetables and livestock may be utilized to supplement farm revenue from grain growing.

Try For More Grass I

Reclamation projects also fall in- to the experimental class but they are more closely related to land which never was or is no longer suitable to crop production. ‘Hie government has acquired abandoned land niid is attempting to get it buck to gi-nss for grazing purposes. At the some time various methods of seedling and various types of grass are being tried out.

Drought of the. past summer slowed up the regrassing program on most of the projects which are located in Manitoba at Melita; in Saskatchewan at Mbrtlach, Cad l- lac, Kerrobeitpnd Cmik. and in Al- berta at. Naco, Stanmore, Cessford, Hutton, Howell and “ --

Construction or physical works include the development of irriga- tiou systems. the building of wattl- storage dams, digging out water- holes. as well as planting of grasses and trees. These works are carried on wholly or partly with public funds and all are under the direc- tion of experts.

The economic planning branch of the rehabilitation program is per- haps the most important from a long-range point of view. It is based on an economic survey now being carried on to supplement soil surveys already completed.

'I‘hc soil surveys classify the whole of the prairie farm lands ac- cording to the nature of the soil. The economic survey completes the classification by n study of the re- sults of past farming operations in all areas. When this survey is corn- pleled all the innd will be classi- fieil as suitable for wheat produc- tion for ranching or for a combin- ation of the two.

Farmers already on the land and others contemplating the purchase of land will know whether they have a reasonable chance of making things go. The survey will provide a basis by which poor lands can be taken out of cultivation and settle- ment in the future can be directed in such a manner that the mistakes
