Gandhi 'Non-Cooperation'
Policy Condemned . .
NDIA WON'T FIGHT! Or at any
rate the Working Committee of the
Indian National Congress has urged upon the
Hindu majority a policy of "non-violent non-
cooperation--at a time when the Jap invader
stands poised on the Bay of Bengal, ready to
strike for the richest prize of all
The decision is a victory for Mohandas K.
Gandhi, but a blow to India's national unity.
Seemingly, non-cooperation is to have the same
effect in dealing with an armed aggressor as it
has had with the British.
But powerful factions among the Hindus,
under such leaders as Pandit Nehru, have ad-
vocated a fighting war against the Japanese.
India's great minority-the Moslems-also
stands ready to fight. The result is wide-
spread dissension in an hour of national cri-
sis, such as France experienced before the
G'erman axe fell in 1940, or the United States
-before unity echoed from the thunder of
bombs at Pearl Harbor.
The momentous reversion of the National
Congreis to the ideas of Gandhi was announced
in a resolution, which declared:
"In case invasion takes place it must be re-
sisted. Such resistance can only take the form
of non-violent non-cooperation, as the British
Government prevented the organization of na-
tional defenses by the people in any other way.
"We may not bend the knee to an aggressor,
nor obey any of his orders. We may not -look to
him for favors, nor fall to his bribes. If he
wishes to take possession of our homes and our
fields we must refuse to give them up, even if
we have to die in an effort to resist him (by
non-cooperation) ."
The fallacy of non-cooperation is as appar-
ent as was American pre-war isolationism. As
foolish as it was to believe that this country
could remain permanently aloof from the
struggles of the rest of the world; so is it
foolish to suppose that passive resistance can
triumph over battleships, tanks, planes and
guns.
But, in the words of Gandhi himself, "The
s underlying belief (of non-cooperation) is that
the aggressor will in time be mentally and even
physically tired of killing non-violent resisters."
How many non-violent resisters, Mr. Gan-
dhi? Do you condemn untold thousands of
women and children of India to death through
your own piddling courage and inhumanity?
You say to your people as much as "If the
invader strikes you, turn the other cheek." A
tragedy for India should your idea attain na-
tional acceptance. The wily Jap would count
it a complete triumph to gain so great a con-
quest at so slight a cost. A dozen nations from
Norway to Greece stand as evidence that non-
cooperation can harass the invader but cannot
conquer. Other peoples must destroy him on
the fighting lines.

Besmirching Contention
To the Editor:
If a poor plan's scribe like Tom Thumb
prompted you to write an Axis propaganda-like
editorial "Russia Is the Enemy After the Axis
Powers," you, Mr. Walsh, should be ashamed of
yourself for that reason alone.
However, you have committed a worse crime.
You are one of the many people in this coun-
try who simply can't get it through their skulls
that their nation is at war.. It seems that just
about the only individuals that do are either the
defense plant laborer or the man in the armed
forces. Does not the press, along with the tired,
sweating laborer, have its duty in wartime?
How could the press be more detrimental to
the war effort than printing besmirching con-
tentions against our allies? Sir, even if you had
fairly constructive proof that our strongest ally,
the U.S.S.R., would turn against us after we
have punished the European gangsters, you
would still have little reason to tear down mor-
ale. For after all, that is exactly what you are
doing.
You don't KNOW that Russia will fight a
war with us, do you? You are not as well in-
formed as Harry Hopkins or Sir Stafford
Cripps, are you? As a matter of fact, you
haven't the slightest idea what Russia will
do! Moreover, it would seem that self-suffi-
cient Soviet Russia would be as war-weary as
the rest of us when the war is over. She would
be just as anxious to make a just and long-
lasting peace as we would.
You do not alter my high regard for the pub-
lication New Republic by quoting an article from
it that is two eventful years old.
The question you should ask yourself, Mr.
Walsh, is: Would you rather write for Herr
Goebbels or Herr Swander?
Russia is your enemy and I am
Yours,
Al Weeks, '45
The ReplyChurlish
by TOUCHSTONE
ONE of the nicer things about the business is
the fans, who though few in number, make
up for that lack in loyalty. For the most part
they don't want their names mentioned, and the
letters they write are for your own edification
only. But just to get it on the record, anyone,
whatever it is he does to attract the attention
of fans, is grateful indeed that they take heed
of him, and grateful above all when they con-
tinue to take notice of him.
The average every-other-day's mail for me
contains one invitation to subscribe to a maga-
zine, one gripe from a person who never reads
that thing I dare to call a column, but had his
attention called to this morning's outrage, and
would just like me to know where I get off at,
and would I like to take the matter up via fisti-
cuffs. Then, on the lucky days, there will also
be a letter from a lady who would I know prefer
to be called F.A.S., who likes what I write or
most of it, and has drafted her family into the
service too. For two years now, almost since I
began to do the column, I have received mail
from F.A.S., and though she too has her own
quaint temperamental whimsies, occasionally
getting mad because I will not reply to her let-
ters, she has been one of those God-given people
who appear in the nick of time, just when the
minimal salary check ceases to be worth it all.
F.A.S. has flattered me beyond my merits many
times, and many times too she has written let-
ters that would have made a hell of a lot better
column than I turn out on my own hook. She
will not like this discussion of her, but I have
to let people know I have had a fan.
THEN to the imposing list of three or four
which constitutes my impression on the world
to date, I must add the name of Norman Anning,

who though lacking the steadiness of my num-
ber one fan, has sent divers cryptic, but I gather,
friendly, notes, especially in re typos in Perspec-
tives. Norman Anning, thank you too, and I'll
remember about the kittens, of which this might
well have been one. The other two fans belong
together, and are like myself, not the letter-
writing sort. Belong together because they
share the same office, and are agreeably con-
vinced that I have shown promise. Mentor Wil-
liams likes my politics, and Charles Peake likes
my E. B. Whitism, both of which set very well
indeed on my ego. Wish I had more fans, and
of course once in awhile you are bound to please
others, but that stands as far as I know, for
the list of steady customers. So long until soon.

Creates Disunity
To the Editor:
Jaffe's reply to the inane logic contained in
Walsh's editorial in Tuesday's Daily was both
sane and intelligent. It was an excellent answer
to the points which were posed. However, I
believe that there is another significant fact
contained in that editorial which must be ex-
posed. Here was an example of what President
Roosevelt has termed the "sixth column" an(
that which Archibald MacLeish dealt with in
the recent publication of the Office of Facts
and Figures.
The publication of Walsh's editorial is dan-
gerous not only because it tends to create dis-
unity between the United States and our ally,
the Soviet Union, but also because it is of the
tenor that creates suspicion of Great Britain
or of any of the United Nations.
It is in the same class as the arguments which
say that "England will fight to the last Ameri-
can" and "China has more in common with the
Japanese than she has with us-she will stab
us in the back."
It is absolutely necessary that we stand united
in our struggle against the Nazi Axis barbarism
and that we do not allow dissension to sap our
energies and divert us from the all-important
fight. Victory will come only with unity.
- Marvin Lerner, '43
Challenging Writin'g
To the Editor:
Tuesday's editorial, "Russia is the Enemy Af-
ter Axis Powers," is a farsighted and challenging
piece of writing and it is to be hoped that Mr.
Roosevelt, Mr. Churchill and Mr. Stalin won't
take its honest, straightforward program seri-
ously. In the event that they do, however, per-
haps life in a concentration camp can be beau-
tiful.-
Mr. Roosevelt ("Mr. Roosevelt is a skillful
man") should thank Mr. Walsh for this oh-
so-timely suggestion and send forth a barrage
of trial balloons to prepare us for the coming
war with the only army that has thus far
withstood Hitler's forces. Of course, that
might make Mr. Stalin distrust Mr. Roosevelt's
sincerity, but there must be full accord at the
peace table and Stalin would be no loss, even
though Hitler drew up the peace all by him-
self.
This business of announcing a sort of owl-
show war with Russia after somebody from Mas
or the Publications Building has cleaned up
Germany while Russia is bulling burrs out of
her tails causes me just a little worry, however.
It is easy to see that the Russians are fighting
for their lives, but it has been rumored that they
are also fighting for the lives of the people of
some twenty-five other nations ours included.
If the Russians read Mr. Walsh's little piece
of wisdom and quit fighting the enemy of that
which the United Nations stand for, how in
, the world are Mr. Roosevelt, Mr. Churchill
and Mr. Walsh going to get those Four Free-
doms sprinkled over all the earth?
Mr. Walsh, in spite of this oversight, should be
encouraged. If he keeps up the good work, there
is no reason why he can't share the German air
waves with Martin Dies, or land a job on the
Beobachter, or, at the very least, on the Chicago
Tribune. David Stevenson, '42

MERRY-GO-ROUND

W ASHINGTON-Inside fact about gasoline is
that even after allowing for 50 percent ra-
tioning of gas and fuel oil, requirements on the
Atlantic Coast will be about 1,200,000 barrels a
day. The maximum that can be moved by tank
cars, barges and pipelines is about 825,000 bar-

rels a day, though this capacity can be increased
by the end of the year to 1,000,000 barrels.
Thus, there will still be a balance--after ra-
tioning, and after increasing the efficiency of
existing facilities--of 200,000 barrels a day to
be provided for.
Thus the new pipeline advocated by Secretary
Ickes nine months ago but vetoed by the OPM
seems the only answer. If that pipeline had
gone through, the Eastern seaboard now would
have plenty of oil while the Southwest would
not be worried over constantly accumulating
supplies of gasoline.
Meanwhile, some existing pipelines operating
with an East to West flow will be reversed.
Meanwhile also, diversion of tank cars to serve
the Atlantic seaboard probably will result in
some degree of rationin tin Midwest and So ui,l -
west.

To Members of the University
Faculties: The Regents' regulations
governing the loan of books provide
that:
"All books borrowed by members
of the faculty shall bereturned on or
before the first day of December
vacation, and on or before the Thurs-
day preceding the annual commence-
ment."
We shall appreciate your coopera-
tion in clearing our records of books
charged to you in the General Li-
brary. In case you have a number
of books which you have drawn out
for a special piece of research and
which it would be inconvenient to
return, the spirit of the regulation
can be met by bringing in a list giv-
ing the classification and volume
numbers of each. It will be very
helpful, however, if every book which
has been in circulation for more than
a year is turned in at the Circulation
Desk of the Library not later than
Saturday, May 23.
