Indian Moslem Fear Democracy

0i Hindu Power

By FRED BACKHOUSE Canadian Press Stuff Wrltcr LONDON, Dev. 5 — (GP) Rang- ed against Mohandas Gandihls monster Indian National Congress. largest politlcarl party in the world, iir the present bitter controversy in Indiu, is the Mcslcm League, repre-

senting 90.000000 Moslems.

The Mcslenr League is the second factor igthc communal, or purely domestic issue whiclrcomplicates an already h:glily' complicated problem.

Its plTﬁlllﬂlt is Ali Jinnah boyish- looking Bolrlbgry bin-ruler, who is the mouthpiece of his devout fol- loivers in negotiations with the Viceroy at New Delhi. It is true to say that his followers fear democ- racy, fear that a sclf-SOVQITIIIE in‘ die. would place them in subjection to the Hindus. _

0f congress Mr. Jinnah has said: ‘The sole aim and obiect of the Congress ls to airnihilate everv oth- er organization in the country and to se itself up as a Fbsciist and eu- thoritariiin organization of the worst t3 ." _

To Britain he sB-YSI “The British

public iria be misled by ceriaiir propagan a that the Moslems are against the freedom of India. We want freedom and liberty; but the question is, whose freedom and lib- erty? Moslem India. wants to be free and enjoy liberty to the fullest ex- tent and develop its own political, economic and social and cultural institutions according to its own genius. . ," 'I‘heir belief is that tho entire pro- blem of India's future should be considered afresh" their fear is that democracy in India. can only mean Hindu domination.

Arnae ﬁom War

Why did the Indian [problem audi- denl stick u like a 50m thumb on the ealthy f o! the British Em- pire as soon as war was declared? One oberver of Indian affairs in londcn put it this ivziy": "The In- dian freedom movement is essent-

ially a, result cf ilie last war. Their _

iriearly one million Indian soldiers voluntarily enlisted, fought for the defence of the Empire with enthu- glusm and valor.

"The sacrifice of Indians then has not brought them self-government, although every other Dominion has it, and today Congress with its vast Hindu Mohammedan. Untouchable, and membership cannot be - nored and is gaining enormously n strength.

"There are minorities in India which must be protected? Their rig-his would be restored if only the British would stand aside and leave ‘this Indian problem to Indians — in any case the situation cannot improve if the British government nralce self-government (lependent on the diszuvpearunce of the inInQrltLes problem."

Many hcre believe that a major struggle on the issue i5 inevitable.

Britain's Policy

The BritLsh government's point of view has been made plain with its promise nor, to lose sight of the de- mend for eventual Dominion status and lt%propcsnl to forﬁrln wartime consu tive group of n arger pa.r-_ ties and the Indian States.

Vernon Bartlett. M, P. and prioirrr- inent polfticcci commentator. had this to say: “The obvious truth a- bout Indla. is that sire wit‘: be an in- fernal nuisance until rho has self- government. She is growing up as a political entity in the modern world. She has reached the stage when she would rather make a mess of things by governing herself than be better governed by others."

And Gandhi, author of the most amazing weapon lll the history c! resi tuhce — non- co-operation says: “Congress will not rest and

UITAWA, &O. 4-—(GP)—N€2' otlations now procceiiiilg iﬁEweef‘ Ceiiadzi and the United Struts looking toward u supplemental ugwc: mc-nt on silver and black fox llus are not expected to adversel eff feet the Canadzan industry, it vies stated here today.

OlflciziLs coiiiiriried the "W" from Washington yesterday of on announcement by Cordell iiull, sec- retary of state, of an inteiiiioii to seek a. siqgplerriental trade agree- ment with Canada for this cOm- modliy.

It is in the interest of both Cun- sdian and United States fox farm- er5 that the IHRYRCI tor these furs be kept stirblc and heavy importa- Lions from European couiitrus whose markets in other parts of the world have been lost b the raver, might seriously affect c in-

USLTY.

Under the Canndn- United Stetes trade agreement of i938 the United States may not plaice a quota on any Canadian imports named there- in unless specifically provided in the agreement.

Now it l5 ayparcnt the United

garobably wider a. global quota, and offset any sacrifice Canada may be called upon to iriuke is willing to reduce the unport duly of 37 1-2 per cent in valoiem.

This rate, fixed in the i938 agree- ment was a reduction of Ki per cent from the previous inrport duty on fox furs and has brought a very heavy increase in Canadian eiiports to that country.

Canada's chief export mnrket tor tihese furs is the United Kingdom where there iis a heavy re-uxport business to all countries. How much this market will be affected by the war is not yet known.

It is not expected here any dif- ficulty will arise overilre negotia- tion of a supplementary agrecirrcnt. Officials here believe the interests of both Canadian and United States fox farmers are the 54mm and the proposal is in their common in- teres ,

“Satisfied” With British Air Defences

By J. I‘. Sande Onudian Prong s-nff Writer

IDNDON, Dec. 4-(0? Ctblo) - After n survey of Britain's air de- fences, military authorities said io- duy they are “quite satisfied with what has happened up to date." So far Germany has directed only dmiltory raids on Britain, most of them for intelligence purposeﬂ. Wi-

enemy casualties have been rein- tively high.

Even when naval stations like Rosyth have been raided fighter

planes and ground guns had ccm-

tively little trouble beating em off and limiting damage from the bombs.

‘rho military lull which has exist- ed almost since the first day of the we: has been of great benef t to the air defences of Britain because it ha; given time to build up a 0f fighter planes which are the primary weapon against sky mid-

era.

Authorities maintain strict accre- cy on the number of planes buii and pilots trained Ln this period, but there can be no doubt that the figures are su-pri-singly high.

Military authorities, illustrating the advance in aerial defences since the last war. mid it takes far less ammunition to destroy a, rplane to- y. Hundreds oi’ rounds were used in 1914-18 to bring down a. plane but nowadays, due to the latest t. s of detectors, rnirge-findcrs, a itude calculators, speed indicators

YORK, Dec. 5-A 10-day voyage through mine-infested wat- ers and war zones gives a dedr- side view of the British blockade and Britain's patrol of the North Atlantic.

With 900 Jewish refugees. larg- est single group to reach here since the war started. and other passengers l arrived on the Neth- erlands liner Rotterdam.

Grim faces turned to laughter as the liner neared her- destin- atlon after passing through the treacherous North Sea mine fiekls, the British “downs” and the gale- tossed convoy laires of mid-At- lantic.

We slipped out of Rotterdam be- fore down, a blaze of neutral light in s. blacked-out sea. Ca i. Thomas Stuut took us through t c wild 11111103 of the North Sen and English channel. graveyiard o! thousands of tons of neutral mer- chantmen.

Too IIQTVDIL; to sleep, the refugees

huddled in corridors or picked their way fcnrfully around the decks, strewn with coiled rope ezidv for launching uncovered lifebcais.

Daylight brought the dark

shadows of British mine-sweepers and the drone of a bomber, swoop~ ing low to scan the tall letters “l-lcllancl" on our sides.

‘Then the downs! In fhk grey reach of channel just ofif Dover, a fleet of merchant shipping swings at anchor, the flags of many na- tions drooping from the masts.

Some of the Ships have been here for weeks. None passes with-

out inspection of the British Ad- miralty. As we awaited examination, a.

crippled freighter rcllczi .-oiw in the tidc, her decks awash.

through the next day British mine sweepers and destroyers stole past us in the mist.

PRICES 0F EGGS NOW VEXES EIBE

DUBLIN. Dec. 5—(0P)—Thereis a conalderab outcry here at the classification of eggs from Eire on the British market as “near Eura- penrr."

The effect is that while Ulster eggs may be sold as "home produce" in the British market as the equivalent of 56 cents a dozen for io-domr lots. Eire eggs from across the border bring only 4i cents l. dozen.

Protests have been made in Lon- don by the Eire government butso far them has been no result. It is pointed out that the differenti- ation would mean a loss of nearly £750,000 (about $3,300,000) a year to Eire exporters.

Professor Johnston. economist of Trinity College. Dublin, has de- scribed the British decision as “in- iquitous." Leading members of the opposition in the Dali have called on Prime Minister dc Valera and the agriculture minister, Dr. James Ryan. to go to London and make personal representation-s to the re- sponsible British minister: “to ac- cure equality and Just ."

TOO MUCH CONTROL LABOR CHIEF SAYS

LONDON. E<T5—(OP)—John Murchbank, general secretary of the National Union of Railwaymen.

-- is hopping mad about the spread

of control and the activlfes of con- trollers in Britain.

Writing in the Railway Review, he said he saw in every direction evidence of "usurpation of the community's self-governing pcweraj’ Big and little controllers had tak- en the place of elected authorities.

“High-handed conduct, graft and corruption, grcss favoritism, nepot- ism, irrational interference and coercion, inefficiency, muddle and blunders of the most revolting kind are the natural ccnscquences," he blazed, “The all-pervading at- mtsphcre of corruption and graft

_is really less alarming than the pal-

pable inefficiency. muddle and confusion that reigns throughout the system."

You and your fdrnily, Mrs. Average Home- maker, form the most important link in our chain. I t is to serve you and yours that chain stores exist.

More often tlian not, of course, cl-Iain stem are the choice of the rich and famous when they shop. They get exactly what they want, and also enjoy thrifty shopping.

But the people we're proudest to serve arc those who come from homes where money and fame are not quite so abundant but where the ﬁner things of life are none the less appreciated,

We are justly proud of our usefulness to the average Canadian home where we enable those who work hard to save intelligently and to CIIJOY their rightful share of life's good things,

When Provincial legislators discriminate against us by special chain store taxes, the resulting higher retail prices are not of serious concern to those in the higher income brackets but such taxes do mean a consistent lowering o! the standard of living so courageously struggled for m the average home!
