Winters Margaret O'Brien Beverly Stark Ama Wadsworth Josephine Woodhams this government has reached the limits of injustice., This year the government repressions have taken a very strange form. When the government failed to do anything according to law, it has been trying to crush the fine sprit of Independence of the people by ordinances. These ordinances are ta very clear sign of the political bankruptcy of the governing nation, as any one can see. The government officers are confiscating the properties of even the relatives and friends and, even neighbors of congress workers. The treatment received by the congress workers is even worse than that given to thieves and murderers. The physical tortures undergone by the congress volunteers are too brutal and inhuman to be describ- ed in decent and polite language. The repression in Ahmedabad this year is worth knowing. In order to-Teed our own starving country- men, and laborers working in mills, we are',doing the work of picketing foreign cloth shops-because unless 'foreign cloth trade is stopped our own cloth industry (hand as well as factory) cannot prosper. The pickets are always peaceful and invariably non-violent. Still, when they are arrested, they are tortured to no end. Last Sunday the ladies who were arrested in the procession were grossly abused by the police officers and one lady-Kanchanben, by name-was attacked by the police, her very clothes were torn; qne man volunteer was beaten so ruthlessly that even after six days he is unable to leave his bed. If the world has any sense of justice it, should send its protests from all over its surface. Many non-congress men and women of Ahmedabad including Divan Bahadur Harilal Desai, Lady Vidyagauri Ramanbhai and Lady S. Chinubhai have seen the Commissioner and the Collector-with no apparent success. After what happened last Sunday, we the women volunteers of Ahmedabad know not, where the government offi- cers' brutality would lead to. So in order to kill our- selves if our honorisattackedby the government rservants, we have armed ourselves with 'Kirpans'- (knives). We are non-violent congress volunteers,, we would never dream of using the 'kirkan' on any- body else, but we would rather kill ourselves than be poluted by the government officers. We have nothing to say to our treacherous brothers who have dared to touch the, person of one Qf 6ur sisters. May God give thefn stength of mind and purity of heart, which they lack so much! If the British authorities think that they can kill the movement by these methods, let them clearly understand that their mistake is a huge one. God will not tolerate these kind of things for long-and in the end TRUTH will conquer.

WILKERSON, of Chica- go, is known throughout the United States as the judge who sentenced Al Capone to 11 years in the. Federal penitentiary. Today, in Washington, com- mittee hearings are being held in Congress by Congressmen who do not think he deserves pro- rnotion on the federal bench. In the course of these hearings, the story of how the information, by which Capone was con- victed, was gathered was revealed. And yet forces .-are already at work ,to prevent this man, who over-j rode an agreement made between the prosecutorl and the gangster, who, in spite of intimidation which had kept other officials from touching gang- sters, sentenced Capone to, jail, from being promoted to a, higher position. Judge Wilkerson, although he was not alone responsible for the outcome of the action, con- tributed considerably to its success. The convic- tion of Capone alone had done much to increase confidence in law and order in the United States. We hope that more leading gangsters may be brought to justice, and that they encounter such firmness as met Mr. Capone in Judge Wilkerson's court., J'" i EDITORIAL COMENT J Crack at Students (The Daily Texan) A hard crack at the students of the colleges and universities of the country was made recently when Henry M. MacCracken, president of Vassar College, said: "Students are not people because they do 'not function as people should. They are not influential as they should be inthe management of their col- leges or in the control of public opinion." If colleges and universities of the country will throw off some of the medieval shackles and ancient hide-bound subject matter and methods of the ancients, and will rebaptize the higher educational institutionso of the world in the gulf of real human need they could rededicate themselves to the best in the ancient culture and finest of the new. Young people would not be bound so closely to traditional class rooms and they could be trained to tie the flesh and blood of live learning to their every day life. True some coleges and universities of the country are becoming mdernized, and no balanced thinker would contend that this age should throw into the discard the best in the culture of the past; but it is equally true that some are not, and, that 'there is need for those who will demand that the present col- lege curriculum be not topheavy with the limited vision a'nd culture of bygone days.

The Bitter Pills of Education To The Editor: There are hundreds enrolled in this University who find it impossible to enjoy some of the prime benefits which higher ecation in tlyis cultural cen- ter offers them. Professional schools always face the problem of the elimination of the unfit, and their best solution seems to be the piling on of work until j the student is allowed scant time either for his eating or for his'sleep. The hurried eating and the lack of sufficient sleep ffect,his health in amanner that depresses him mentally, and if he is honest and assumes his burden earnestly the load becomes un- bearably oppressive. Even the thought of enjoying any of the concerts or lectures which one can hear almost any day in Ann Arbor soon is obliterated from his mind. Participation in any of these extra- curricular delights is practically as impossible as if he 'were already settled in the small town where he will go when he is graduated frm here. However, the greatest evil of the systm is not this dull apathy toward thee surrounding opportunities, but rather the attitude that it engenders in those who find themselves victims of unfair task-masters. In many cases the only way one can possibly do the amount of work required is by -practicing the system of cheating invented by others who -have taken the course before you. The result may be a certain sharpening of the wits, accompanied by a very definite corrosion of moral principles, and a loss of that respect for one's teacher which is the best foundation of a fine educa- tion.

Even the skill of George Arliss is insufficient to lift the film from the limbo of mdiocrity. The plot is principally concerned with a famous pianist (Arliss) who loses his hearing through a combination of a hereditary homzygous trait for deafness and an atarchist's bomb. Deprived of the solace of his music he becomes utterly despondent and after a few reels of bitter invective against the Supreme Deity, he learns to read lips and amuses himself by peeking at people in the park through a pair of binoculars from his skyscraper apartment. After saving about four people from crmmitting suicide in the park he decides that therejs a God after all, and the picture ends with the deep vibrant tones of the pipe organ which he has erected "To The Glory of God, and the Memory of My Mother." Some. of the scenes,-one in which everyone stands arouhd for ten mites laughing at everything George Arliss says,-and three others in which people pour out their life problems to each other on park benches, are pretty bad, and the scene in- which the blonde heroine kisses the handsome young New York Playboy is even worse, but the- picture is not without its entertaining mo- ments. Arliss playing the piano, Arliss playing with This is a, graphical representa- tion of our emotions Sunday morn- ing after discovering that after we had dragged poor old Oscar The Wonder Horse away from his warm study-room to write a paragraph for us, the moguls Who put the pa- per together had mercilessly cut our column to ribbons, adrditly leaving out Oscar's efforts altogether. That wouldn't have been so bad if we hadn't made a promise in the first paragraph that Oscar would appear in the 'column that very morning. How disappointed, all of our read- ers must have been! We ca beg forgiveness only on the grounds that we couldn't help it, ^which we think is a pretty good excuse, At any rate, Oscars' contribution ap- pears today if we have to kill someone to get it in, * * * THE SECRET OF TREASURE MOUNTAIN By John Clarke. * * * . Synopsis: Jack and his Uncle are on their way to Treasure Moun- tain. Jack found a dead man near a spring and his calling cards iden- tified him as Jasper A. Goldmen, Vice-President of the Amsterdam Diamond a n d Emerald Works. Among the -other contents of his pockets was a clue to the secret of Treasure Mountain. Now go on with the story: PART IV S"My, it's hot," said Jack's Uncle wiping his face with a big handker- chief, "I should think the treasure would melt on a day like this." "Duck, Uncle!" screamed Jack suddenly. Jack's Uncle did so and -if he hadn't Mr. James M. Woodhall would have been laid in an African grave. It was a knife that Jack had been hurtling through the air towards his uncle. It buried itself to the hilt in a tree. The knife was the same as the oh n which had been sticking ;into Jasper A. Goidmen's back with the initial of "M" carv- ed ip.the mother-of-pearl handle. Jack's tncle thanked him heart- ily for saving his life and ^Jack re- plied, "We're square, now, because you did! the. sme for .me once." "There is certainly somebody who wants to have this place for them- selves, first killing Goldmen and then missing me by an inch," said Jack's Uncle. 0"Look," said Jack, "there is one of the negroes who went to the spring and he is all excited." "What is it, Alr?" asked Jack in the same breath. "Two men, they bind and gag me rnd tell me to give this to you," panted Alar, It was a cocoanut which they could see had been split open. Jack opened it and found a piece of pa- per.' What did it say? (To Be Continued) t Yes, what did it say? Find out the strange contents of the split cocoanut in tomorrow's in- stalment of "The Secret gf Treasure Mountain." - * * * About this serial. About a thous- and people to gate have accused us of writing "The Secret of Treasure Mountain" ourselves, so, for the thousand andfirst time we'wish to make it plain that even if we want- ed to we couldn't write a story with the freshness and ingenuity that this one has if\we tried all week. The story was really written by a twelve-year-old school boy in Sault Ste. Marie. One questioner wanted to know whether the story was meant for satire. Gee whiz. The sophistication of some of the peo- ple in this town is'a caution to cats. Anyone who\pcan drag satire out of that story ought to be on the Gar- goyle.
