Bombay, Feb. 21. —Mohandas K. ] Gandhi today predicted new and | bloodier war unless the problem of | India and other nations like it is solved. Criticizing the Government on i the recent arrest of certain mem ■ bers of the All-India Congress, i Gandhi declared in a statement: | “If things go on as they are doing in India, the victory that the Allies will have will be only so-called, because they will also have India and other nations in the same plight bleeding at their feet, “Such victory can only lead in the near future to a war bloodier —if such a thing is possible—than the one that will have closed, for victory at the expense of India Will mean that out of the ashes of fasc ism, nazism and Japanese militar ism will have risen a new monster that will seek to eat all it sees— ; and in the attempt will be .eaten up, leaving I know not what. "In August. 1942, instead of need lessly precipitating a quarrel with [the people,, if the amhotity had listened to the pleading of the Con igress. India would have enjoyed independence and the war would I already have ended with honor fo the Allies and happiness for the suppressed peoples of the earth. That is my retrospection. “What are the Government's pro testations about Indian independ ence worth if they will not toler ate Congress' constructive move ment. except on conditions impas sible cf acceptance? Are they not satisfied with the extraerdinarv i power they possess? Must they kc' in custody without trial the best-' known as well as the least-known Indians?

Feb. 14.—North Carolina 4-H club boys and girls produced hough extra food to feed 25,359 ’.i inkers of the arm/fl services, or the equivalent, last year and the; t’t l’S members are again striving to do their best in food production, av.

Har rill says. Vegetable gardening was one of the features of the 1944 4-H plan of activities and this work is be ing expanded this year, with 9,146 acres being planned by the members. Harrill explains that Uncle Sam is calling for an extra 1,500,000 gard ens this year over last and that the ; 4-H members can be counted on to ; contribute a large share in filling |the need. ; Other featured activities of the 4-H program last year were produc ing eggs and milk; growing beef cat tle. pigs, and poultry, and making crops of corn, potatoes, cotton, and/ tobacco. : The girls prepared 362.080 nutri tious meals and canned 1,348,441 quarts of vegetables, fruits and meats. They not only took special l studies on home planning and man agement. but also followed many activities which normally are hand led by j»ys. Some of the best com petitors In the dairy and beef cat tle shows were girls. The 4-H club members collected 3,217.154 pounds of scrap Last year, purchased and sold bonds valued at $3,993,750. wrote many letters to the members of the armed sendees, god took part in all wartime campaign*. They were honored in the christen ing of two Liberty ships. Harrill points out that the boys and girls are rendering a great ser vice to the livestock industrythrough the use of many purebred animals in dairy production, in beef cattle, and in hogs. By the means of pig club chains, thousands of registered pigs have been distributed in alt ; sections of North Carolina. The club boys have algo taken an active part in tbe production sod testing of hybrid corns. Tbelr work reveals that average yields of com in North Carolina can be greatly increased if growers will merely put into practice the plans (or better seed, rapid and shallow cultivation, more plants per acre, and Improved methods of ferUUzatinn. The 4-H members have also speci alized in poultry, growing out dur , ing the past year a total of 584,100 chickens, which was a good increase over 1943. Excellent egg production records were made by the flocks of some of the members. )|t Wild life studies, forest fire Pa trols, and home and (arm safply I programs were some of the oth^r; activities of the boys and girls in their varied work throughout year. Leadership training in the regular club meetings was especial ly emphasized. Last spring 9.541 members took an active part in conducting serv ices in 720 churches and these ac tivities will be repeated again this : year. Will Rogers Promoted V -. With the U. S.
