?3 ?SB News Review of Current Events the W orld Over Gandhi Tells Round-Table Conference India Musi Have Self-Government ? Progress in Plans for Relief. Bv EDWARD W. PICKAHD * i MAnATMA GANDHI. clad only In his loin cloth and a white robe, aci constantly sipping goat's milk from a vacuum bottle, was the out standing figure in the round-table confer en?^ on the status of India which trot un der way in St. .7 a m e s* p a I a c e in London, on the open ing day he spoue no word, because it was his weekly day of si lence. but ;n the eve ning. his period of si lence having ended, he made this rather Gandhi pessimistic statement: "If our hopes and fears are weighed In the balance, I urn afraid our fears will far outv.-eigh our hopes. But it is too early to make predictions. We ought to be able to say a week hence whether our hopes ultimately will overbalance our fears. At present everything is in the lap of the gods.*' He had listened to flowery and hope ful speeches by Lord Sankey. chair man of the federal structures commit tee, and several others, including In dian potentates, but he seemed bored and unimpressed. Next day. however, the mahatma was free t?? speak, and speak he did, letting the British know that the mini mum demand he. as authorized by the All-India nationalist congress, is em powered to make is undiluted self government f?>r India. He wanted the British to let him know very soon whether this would be granted, and was willing to let other minds work out the details. But if the answer was to be "No." he wished to return speedily to India and resume there his revolutionary movement. The queer looking little Hindu leader did not say this quite so bluntly as It is written, but there was no mistaking his meaning, f??r he is always un afraid to speak frankly. India, he said, was willing to re main a partner in the British em pire. but that partnership must be such that It may be terminated at the will of either party. "If God wills." he said, "it will be a permanent partnership, but at the same time, the right to terminate the association will constitute a real test of the equality of position enjoyed by both partners. "There was a time when I was proud of being called a British sub ject. but many years ago I stopped calling myself a British subject. I would far rather be called a rebel than a subject, but I still aspire to be a citizen, not of an empire, but of a commonwealth in partnership. "Not a partnership superimposed by one nation upon another, but a partnership of mutual agreement. In such a partnership India will be ready to share Great Britain's mis fortunes, and if necessary, to fight Bide by side with Great Britain, not for exploitation of any race or any person, but conceivably for the good of the whole world." . The federal structures committee. Ignoring Gandhi's desire to have a decision on the general question of self rule first, went ahead with the working out of details. BANKERS, economists, ex-service men and many other groups are holding almost daily conferences to see what can be done about unemploy ment and the recov ery of prosperity. One of the important sessions was that of the American Legion labor conference in Washington, and in it the chief address was mude by Maj. Gen. 3?mes G. Ilarbord, now president of the Kadio Corporation of America. He told the legion that the surest contribution It conld ^cn- Harbord. make toward the solution of the prob lem would be to offer its services un reservedly to President Hoover, and continuing, he had some harsh words for those who advocate the demand ing of full payment of soldier bonuses. "I can't imagine anything more ridiculous," h* declared, "than your going to your ?>eiroit convention with a program to relieve the country's un employment and depression problems in one hand and a tin cup In the oth er. You would be laughed out of thfc country.** The prohibition issue was brought to the fore by M. H. McDonough, presi dent of th? building trades depart ment of the American Federation of Labor, who told the conference that Utilization of beer would do more to relieve unemployment than all other relief measures combined. lie said . this would afford, within six months, employment for more than 1,000.000 persons, besides providing a market for farm produce. '"PU'KI.VK eminent bankers, repre- j sen tins as many federal reserve districts, were Mr. Hoover's guests at dinner and for two or three hours they ret defer o the President the con ditions in their respective regions. It was said at t lie White House that each hanker had assured the President h'.s district would he able to assume the unemployment relief burden this winter without federal aid. The bankers were: Herbert K. Hal lett of Boston. R. II. Treman of Ith aca. N. Y. ; Howard A. Loeb. Phila delphia; J. A. House. Cleveland; John Poole. Washington; John K. Ottley, Atlanta; Melvin A. Traylor. Chicago; Walter W. s.nith. St. Louis; George II. Prince. Si. Paul; Walter S. Mc Lucas. Kansas City: Henry M. Robin son. Los Angeles, and Walter Licht en stein of Chicago. TF DISTRESS during the coming * winter ran l?e relieved through the appointment and the labor of leading citizens on committees. It certainly will he relieved. Di roctor Gilford has just named a large com mittee of distinguished m e n a n d women whose duty it will be | v"v. to mobilize national associations for the task. The chairman of this body is I>r. Eliot Wads worth of Boston, who used to he an assistant scc retary of the treasury and who is known for I his excellent public service in connection with the Red Cross. He already Is busy at the headquarters In Washington. Doctor Wadsworth's fellow members I Include: William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor; John Barton Payne, chairman of the American Red Cross; Matthew Sloan, president of the New York Edison company ; Silas H. Strawn, president of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States; Colonel Arthur Woods, of New York, who was chairman of Mr. Hoover's relief organization last year, and R. H. Aishton.

PERSUING went out to Lincoln, Neb., to spend bis seventy-first birthday anniversary with bis sister. Miss nnd his son. Warren. He planned to remain there for three weeks, resting from his la bors as head of the American monuments commission which have taken him on ox tensive travels. As always when he Is in Lincoln, he declined to make any public appearances or state ments or even to give Interviews. But he rhatted ?*very day with his old friends nnd thoroughly enjoyed his rest with Its informality. One remark the general dropped was quoted by the press. "There's nothing vitally wrong with the coun try," he said. "Anyone who says we're on the rocks doesn't know his country. We'll come out of it. The depression can't last" AVIATION news was a mixture of good and bad. Don Moyle and C. A. Allen, who started a flight from ToKyo across the Pacific and were missing for nine days, were i?und alive and safe on an Island off die coast of Kamchatka. Three passen gers and a pilot died when a plane alay Pershing, Gen. Pershing. fell Into the sea at Oakland, Calif.; and a navy plane carrying supplies to stricken Belize crashed, killing an of ficer and two enlisted wen. Wreckage of a monoplane found pear the Shet | land islands was identified as the I plane In which Parker Cramer and i Oliver Pacquette were trying to fly j to Copenhagen. At this writing there ; is no word of the fate of Rody. Jo hansson and Viega who. flying frotn Portugal to New York, vanished off the Nova Scotia coast. O EAR ADMIRAL RICHARD E. Kyrd announced in Boston that j he was planning another expedition to He said that detailed preparations for this trip already have ; been made, but that : he ?as not ready to j give out the plans yet i !?? < ! ;se there is still ; ii ii ii scientific work to he done on the data ; | roll ted by the ' former expedition. "As is my custom," i he said, "there will j be ii" public campaign for the raising of funds for this expedi tion. In the past, j friends of mine who are interested in the work have contributed the bulk of the money. In this particular case, ' they will contrii- : ? probably all of it." I ON ITS second r*=;i ?iinir in the house of commons the British govern ment's economy bill, authorizing the use of orders in council to effect sav ings of $3o0.0CK?.?M"> in administrative expenditures, was approved by h vote i of 810 to 253 ? a majority for the gov ernment of 57. The division came after a long debate on proposals to ; j reduce by 10 per cent the dole and ] salaries and costs of social devices, i Prime Minister MaeDonald has ap- I pointed a cabinet committee to in- j vestigate Great Britain's adverse i trade balance, and tnanv think this means the government has decided to j adopt a tariff policy. The London Daily Mail says there Is a strong opinion In parliament that a genera! i tariff of "0 per cent on all classes of j foreign imports will ultimately be adopted without an electoral appeal to the country. The Laborite Herald. I however, contends that a tariff cannot | be Imposed until the electorate has been consulted and hints that a gen eral election Is Impending. One immediate result of the wage cuts instituted by the government was a threat of mutiny among the navy men of the lower rating. The ad miralty, admitting there was serious "unrest." suspended the program of ! exercises of the fleet in the North sea and started an inquiry. OCARCELY 2,?t00 members of the ^ once mighty Grand Army of the Republic were able to attend the an nual encampment In Des Moines, the sixty-fifth and perhaps the last They were tenderly cared for and many of them managed to march over at least a part of the route when the big parade was held, but In the main they were content to sit In arm chairs and ex change reminiscences. the South pole. Rear Admiral Byrd. FINDING he could not complete his investigations in the Philippines in the time originally set, Secretary of War Patrick J. Hurley, put off for one week his depar ture for the United I States and went on with the work with refreshing thorough ness. Leaders of the Filipinos who demand Immediate independ ence are not wholly pleased with Mr. Hur ley, seeming to be convinced he will re port against their | cause. In the island _ . senate he was hitter- SecY Hurley, ly attacked by two senators, despite the pleas of Sergio Osmena. president pro tempore of the senate, that they reserve their criticisms?. Mr. Hurley, far from being offended, said such in cidents gave. him a clearer insight into conditions. Osmena and Manuel Roxas. speaker of the insular house, stated that plans had been made for the sending of an independence commission to Washing ton this fall. The delegates will seek a round-tablt conference and may consent to a compromise settlement of the question. LATE reports from Belize, British Honduras, are that the deaths re sulting from the hurricane that smashed that city may reach the shocking total of 1.400, or nearly one In ten of the entire population. Hun dreds of the victims were burned In huge pyres without attempt at iden tification, because of the danger of pestilence. Other hundreds were swept out to sea by the great tidal wave that accompanied the storm. Relief measures for the survivors were promptly carried out by the Honduran authorities, the American Red Cross, the Salvation Army, and the American naval forces in the vi cinity. (? by WMt?TB Ntwipapu Union.) May the Best Month for Alfalfa Sowing Prepare Ground in Fall, but Wait, Says Expert. ft is all right to get ready to sow alfalfa io the fall, hut delay the actual sowing unfM next May, ad vises John II. Barron of the New York stale college of agriculture. Work the land well this fall and repeat the cultivating next spring and then sow without a nurse crop, he says. Mr. Barron cites the success of the Lovejoy farm located near I'ittsford in Monroe county. New York. Here the land was in cabhage in l!Wt>. the crop was kept clean and alfalfa was seeded alone in May, liKtl. By June 2."? the seeding nad made an excelllent u.M'd free stand. The cutting of hay taken this summer is worth more than n grain ntirse crop would have been And in addition, says Mr Barron, when the alfalfa crop is in its prime ihc yield will he larger than If it had heeen planted with a nurse crop. By seeding alone in spring the win ter killing during ?he first winter is largely avoided and much ot the com petition from weeds is avoided by the fall and spring cultivation before seeding, he says. Quack Grass Worm Not Benefactor, but a Pest Hailed as real benefactors In St. Louis county, because they appeared to feed almost exclusively on quack grass, some worms sent to A. (?. Kug cles. ft ate entomologist and profes sor of entomology Minnesota uni versity farm, have heen identified as wheat stem maggots. While they might aid some in combating quack :rr:is<5. these worms are decidedly a mixed blessing in grain areas. Mr. Buggies explained, because of their tendency to Infest crops such as wheat and barley, causing the heads to turn while without filling. Considerable damage was reported from these in serts in Kast Bolk county this year. Several weeks ago, August Neu bauer. the St. Louis county agent, re ported the presence of worms which fed on quack grass and which if ap peared might prove effective In com bating this weed if enough of them were present. However, upon heing identified by Mr. Buggies from specimens furnished by Mr. Neuhauer. "the worm turned" as it were, proving to be an old pest, rather than n new friend. Chopped Alfalfa for Pigs Pork produced by feeding chopped alfalfa hay as a supplement reached a good marketable weight fully 17 days before the other pigs and was produced at a saving of 41 cents for each 100 pounds^ according to n recent report by the South n:>kotn experi ment station. Twenty-five pounds of chopped alfalfa hay was used In a mixture with r?0 pounds of tankage and 2f> pounds ->f l'nseod oil meal as a supplement 'o yellow corn. There was a saving of 10 pounds of feed for each 100 pounds of gain due to the alfalfa. Since chopping oi grinding alfalfa Is resorted to where hay Is artificially cured for feeding to dairy cattle, many feel that It should he even more worth while to adopt this practice for all classes of stock where natural cur ing makes It Impossible to secure bo hlgh-crade a product. Wheat in the Ration The value of wheat In a live stock fattening ration and pointers to re [ member in feeding wheat as deter mined from the experience of success ful feeders and tests conducted by experiment stations are summarized ; by the Colorado Agricultural college I as follows: For hogs wheat varies in feeding value from equality with corn, pound for pound, to 8 per cent greater effi ciency than corn. For cattle and lambs wheat alone shows 90 to 100 per rent of the value of corn pound for pound. When fed half nnd half with com wheat appears to be equal ro corn for cattle and lambs. Wheat should be coarsely ground for cattle and hogs. Orindinc appears to be unnecessary for lambs. Around the Farm Planting orchards on hillsides rath er than in valleys is advocated by a meteorologist of the fruit-frost service. ? ? ? Fifteen carloads of potatoes were grown on 70 acres this year by W. J. Sapp. De Funiak Springs, Fla. ? ? ? John Simons, who lives eight miles west of Wichita, Kan? harvested 70 bushels of wheat this year from 1.6 acres that had been in a feedlot. ? ? ? When sheep and lambs are to be treated for stomach worms they should not be given any food or water for at least 12 hours before treatment. The remedy commonly used is bluestone or copper sulphate.
