" I A4: * - Prince Asim enjoyed enormously the visit of the British troops to Tokot. He enjoyed the bright uniforms, the mart lei music, .the friendship of Captain Carruthers. But most of all he enjoyed inset log fiery-topped Bill Holder, the demon young drummer of the regimental band, a slangy, rough-andtumble bey of Asim's own age. Bill, taking a fancy to the Hindu Prince, set about teaching him to nlay the drum and ended up by Inventing for the Prince a prtve drum signal which he could use to call on his friends for help In . danger. Aalm proudly demonstrated his personal drum call to Carruthers, who 'good-naturedly complimented both teacher and student on their virtuosity. But Carruthers had more important concerns during his stay In Tokot For one thing there was a visit to Qhul, made on the advice of Carruthers' old friend Muhammid lChan. son of a royal native family who bad gone to school with the Captain In England. Ohul received Carruthers, but made no attempt to hide his hostility. 'The trouble with your England," be observed insolently, "is that she is afraid to fight You dodged fighting In Africa, you dodged it in Europe and in Asia. eat ms to greet youf" Why should Z promise not to fight you whsn the Ums comes?"

But If we nave to fight, wo are In the habit of winning our battles...if not the first, then always the last."

Their task was not to be an e*?y one. they found, as tfhey studied the various national polls of public opinion on the question. Without exception, the polls showed opinion overwhelming in favor of amendment or even outright repeal. The method to be used to convince ' Congressmen has apparently been decided upon. It Is the simple expedi < ernt of ignoring public opinion In offi- ' clal circles and hoping that the legRelative branch of goren-nment will . follow suit. At least this was indicated recently when members of the National Labor Relations Board appeared at secret hearings at the Capitol, and tea ' titled, in effect, that they were unimpressed by the public desire; that the Act Js in the public interest with out being changed. In the meantime, other officials and bqaird sympathizers are busy on the telephones telling any Congressman who will listen that public opto- 1 ion Isn't as important as might be supposed. P. S.?No strategy hae been peaTc? ted to convince the public. But whether public opinion ie respected or not, the National Emergency Council still has a large staff of "pulse-feelers" on the Job, to wit: The NEC has just reported to gov ' ernimeut officials an analysis of reliction to recent proposals of continued effort to spend the Nation back" to prosperity. Approximately 900 newspaper editorials were digested by the pulse-feeling staff after Governor Bccles. of the Federal Reserve Board, took to the dadio to defend the spending philosophy. Only 6 editorials wore found lauding the stand of more spending. All the others bea.t the idrum for a balance the budget philosophy as that most likely to stimulate recovery.

The Bureau pf Printing and Engravtng (which prints all the paper money, sUajnps, bonds, etc.) does not print .11,000,000 bills ? not even to accommodate anyone who might have use for them. One of the Congressmen recently had need for sev- ? eral bills of this large deoorn button to dem oust Tate a point before the House of Representatives. The largest bank note printed however la a mere glOO.OOO. The point he attempted to make concerned the cost of operating the small Independent branches of government for one year. In his hand he held a volumtaoue book of about 2.000 pagea. The book was the official transcript of hearings on the Independent Offices Bill. It a $1,000,000 bill was pasted on each of the pages, pointed out the Congressman when he couldn't get the bills to demonstrate the point more clearly, the total amount of money pasted In the book would be Just about what the bill called tor In the way of expense* for these agencies.
