ndian Independence
Must Await Victory...
TrHE REFUSAL of the All-India Con-
gress Party to compromise in its de-
minds for immediate union and independence
i India, can certainly be understood and justi-
tild from the standpoint of native leaders, but
if consideration is extended to include world
events, it must be realized that the danger which
their refusal to cooperate is presenting may well
destroy their chances for independence, as well
as the war effort of the United Nations.
SIndian leaders do not trust England, and they
cannot be castigated for their lack of confidence,
but they should realize that by refusing to accept
the British promise' of post-war union and do-
miniofi status they are exposing themselves to
domination by Japan, perhaps not a worse mas-
ter than England, but one which certainly will
not be deposed. India has the promise of Eng-
land;'they could probably get further assurances
from the United States and Russia.
Independence now, the granting of the Indian
defense effort to national leaders, might well
lead to a more chaotic condition than that now
confi'onting the British. The, Moslem minority.
,Ofs 901000,000 perons,. the Sihk groups, would
certainly rebel against control by Hindu Con-
gress Party, and they would be fighting against
an rinestablished, disorganized group. The na-
ive leaders *lack the experience of British rulers
andwould probably inspire no more confidence
in the minority groups.
FORCED.TO CHOOSE between passive resis-
tance which manifests itself in strikes, rioting
end bloodshed, and leaving India disorganized
kiith a rebellious Moslem minority, the British,
h ave elected to keep control, to try and force the
Hindu leaders to wait for the end of the war.
That seems, to us, the most sensible course of
action.
This insistence upon the immediate granting
of. independence has been attributed by Prof.
Eoward M. Ehrmann, of the history department
to the Congress Party's desire to establish itself
in a position which will assure them of being in
control after the war If it is true that the pres-
°t conflict has-arisen because the Hindu party
4 afraid of a government after the war which
will represent the minorities in India, the Party
actionis even more reprehensible.
It is doubtful that the British will be able to
adequately defend Egypt, India from a Japanese
attack, and bolster the Russians in case of a
break through in the Caucasus without coopera-
tion from India. The whole Misddle East may be
lost unless the Indian people are united and will-
ing to get behind the war effort,
T HE INDIAN PEOPLE are confidet that
the British will try to defend India in
Any case. If the British are to handle the de-
*fense, the most sensibId thing seems to be
keeping them in control. Gandhi and his fol-
lowers should content themselves with the
British p 'ofnises and- further guarantees,
should not attempt to use the war effort to
get control of the country which ignores the
minorities, should realize that their best
bet, and ours, is the defeat of the Axis..
All post-war planning, all governmental or-
ganization depends on that defeat.
- Robert Priskel
Where We're Neutral
American armed forces .in India have been
ordered, the State Department announces, to

WASHINGTON: Inside fact about the attack
on the Solomon Islands is that it was very care-
fully planned six weeks in advance, and was dif-
ferent from any other naval action in the Pacific.
U. S. Naval raids on the Gilbert and Marshall
Islands were hit and run affairs. There our Navy
had no idea of enemy strength, but depended on
quick surprise hits and speedy withdrawal.
o In the battle of the Coral Sea also, we were
able to take the Japs by surprise. And in the bat-
tle of Midway, we knew the enemy was coming,
while the Japs did not know we knew.
But in the Solomon Islands battle, our recon-
naissance planes had made advance surveys and
we knew fairly accurately the size of the enemy-
knew also that we were up against a tough job
that would exact heavy cost.-
There is every reason to believe, too, that the
Japs knew about our preparations, because troop
transports cannot be loaded and brought within
striking distance without enemy scouting planes
sighting them. Therefore, this was a real test in
more ways than one.
For instance, this was the first time land, air
and sea forces all have cooperated in a single
striking force.
Upon the final outcome of that cooperation
will depend whether the United States follows
the advice of many high Army-Navy strategists
and concentrates more on the Pacific than on
Europe.
Capital Chaf
Madame Secretary Perkins recently put in a
bid for an apartment already reserved for a
young naval officer. Apartments are scarce, but
being a member of the cabinet, she got it. Later
it turned out that she didn't want the apartment
after all, merely used her name to help a friend.
The young naval officer she ousted was the son
of Undersecretary of State Welles.. .Gov. Hol-
land of Florida, Herbert Bayard Swope, chairman
of the New York State Racing Commission, and
Thomas R. Underwood, editor of the Lexington,
Ky. Leader in the heart of the blue-grass racing
region, told the Senate Finance Committee they
did not oppose taxes on racing, but that this was
a state matter. Federal racing taxes, they said,
invoked the law of diminishing returns. . .In the
middle of these hectic war days, the -President
took a minute off to send a letter of appreciation
to an old friend who had established generous
scholarships for students at a North Carolina
college. .
Women Influence ;history
All through history, from Helen of Troy to the
Duchess of Windsor, women have influenced the
tides of fate. And if it had not been for a woman
in the life of Gen. Douglas MacArthur he prob-
ably would not have been in a position to per-
Put Teeth
In Sahotage Laws .. .
7TOT LONG AFTER six of the eight
Nazi saboteurs were electrocuted and
the papers had turned to bannering the U. S.
offensive on the Solomon Islands, Attorney Gen-
eral Francis Biddle said he would ask Congress
to impose harsher penalties for conspiracy to
commit sabotage and to harbor or assist sabo-
teurs. To most people, the Attorney General's
statement came as a mild surprise. They had
naturally taken it for granted that the laws took
care of serious crimes and cracked down hard on
those who sympathized too much with the enemy
in war-time.
As a matter of fact, Biddle was merely point-
ing out something that you could expect to find
in a country suddenly plunged into total war,
especially in a country practicing democracy.
The United States has lived a long time, has
made a lot of mistakes which history books won't
let posterity forget. And the leniency of our sab-
otage laws, though surprising at first, must be
looked upon as just another error we haven't yet
gotten around to correcting. The war caught us
off guard, true. And we are a country which too
often leans over backwards to be democratic.
Leniency is one of many methods by which we
try to be democratic.

O THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S statement
shouldn't be wond'ered at. Biddle said that
sabotage in war-time is punishable by a maxi-
mum sentence of thirty years and a $10,000 fine,
or both. But conspiracy-to commit sabotage must
be tried under the general conspiracy statute,
with a maximum penalty of imprisonment for
two years or a $10,000 fine, or both.
NOR IS THERE any special statute punishing
the harboring or concealing of persons who
have committed sabotage. The general statute
under which such an offense is tried provides a
maximum penalty of three years' imprisonment
or -a $500 fine, or both. Because the sabotage
laws are so ridiculously lenient, the government
is- unable to prosecute the fourteen aides to the
saboteurs for treason. Instead, the government
must do its best to trump up a charge that will
imprison them for the longest possible time.
It might not be a bad idea for Congress to give
Biddle what he wants. Of course, you know and
I know that the government won't let little legal
technicalities get in the way of the serious bus-
iness of winning the war. But if the sabotage
laws were given teeth of their own to bite with.

form his heroic defense of the Philippines and
command Australia today._
Just after the last war, the belle of Washing-
ton society was vivacious Louise Brooks, step-
daughter of the millionaire Edward T. Stotes-
bury, a partner of J. P. Morgan. She was the
toast of Washington. Gen. Pershing, just re-
turned from France. was one of her most de-
voted attendants. Admiral Beatty, hero of the
battle of Jutland, was another.
Once, after a dinner at Mrs. Marshall Field's
both Pershing and Beatty escorted Louise to her
car, nearly had an altercation over who was to
take her home.
But Gen. MacArthur, then superintendent of
West Point, stepped in and married the lady.
shortly thereafter, Gen. Pershing, not at all ha:
pyi over MacArthur's victory, transferred him to
the Philippines.
MacArthur and his wife were stationed in the
Philippines for several years. And although the
marriage later ended in divorce, it was MacAr-
thur's tour of duty in Manila which acquainted
him with Filipino leaders and later brought
about his return as Field Marshal of the Philip-
pine Army.
If Pershing or Lord Beatty had married the
lady, history might have been different.
Solomon Islands Strategy
What the Navy was up against in the battle
of the Solomon Islands was the little known fact
that the Japs were fortifying the islands at
break-neck speed. Working night and day the
Japs have been building runways, gasoline tanks,
anti-aircraft installations.
Since the Solomons extend down near the
supply route between Hawaii and Australia, they
have been a direct menace to U.S. shipping and
the trans-Pacific air line. Therefore it was up
to the Navy to move before the Japs became too
deeply entrenched. Moreover, Japanese activi-
ties in the Solomon Islands were typical of their
zeal in other South Pacific islands, in many of
which they have been spending 24 hours a day
with bulldozers and tractors leveling runways
and fortifying harbors. All of this was going on
during the lull after the battle of Midway and
during the monsoon rains in India.
Bildnts Should Reflect
Pre~senCivilization.
P EOPLE TODAY SPEND over one
half of their life time in buildings.
The economic value of buildings is also of di-
rect concern to the thousands of owners. Yet,
when it becomes necessary to producenew build-
ings we have invariably turned back to historical
examples.
Why, when we need a new automobile, don't
we reproduce the body of a Maxwell and add a
twelve cylinder Lincoln motor? We modernize
kitchen equipment, simplify furniture, and add
new mechanized forms of air conditioning and
heating, yet the outside structure resembles the
Babylonian temple or the early American colon-
ial type. University buildings, as well, continue
to grope blindly in the medieval and Renaissance
strain.
EVEN ON OUR OWN CAMPUS the same holds
true. Angell Hall serves as an excellent exam-
ple. Many people point out Angell Hall as one
of the most beautiful buildings on the campus.
Why? Simply because the person who drew the
plans was an expert at interpreting and repro-
ducing the works of the Greeks and Romans.
The facade of Angell Hall, if built in the sixth
century, would have been a commendable job.
Today it remains of little more than archaeolo-
gical value.
However, in any building the elements of func-
tion, structure, and beauty should never be for-
gotten. We have seen the tendencies to over-
emphasize function to the ridiculous. The same
is true of structure and history illustrates the
periods of over-emphasis of beauty. The problem
of today suggests a need for the balance of the
three.
It is evident that with changes in transporta-
tion, industry, and social values buildingfacili-
ties must maintain the same stride as the ad-

vances in technology. We have failed to see the
value of this. Consequently, we have been con-
fronted with problems of blight, slums, traffic
jams, and other bottle-necks which have re-
sulted from the attempt to adapt our modern
civilization to an outworn pattern.
W HEN THE ELEVATOR was invented we were
not content to use it on ten, twenty; or even
thirty floors. Instead we pulled civilization above
the clouds and neglected function. Today the
top third or half of many skyscrapers remain un-
finished.
The skyscrapers will stand as monuments to
our incapability to realize the place of function.
The skyscrapers, too, will' symbolize our former
prosperity as well as having provided a handy,
jumping-off place for many after the 1929 crash.
Buildings, therefore, reflect the thinking of
their day. The Egyptians and Grecians under-
stood and expressed themselves in the 'symbol-
ism of their temples much better than we can
ever hope to understand the reason for using
their styles in our banks and insurance buildings.

Similar To World W'ar I
he Russians have drawn a paral-
lel between this war and World War
I in their unceasing campaign for a
second front against Hitler. Gen.
Shilovsky, who accompanied Molo-
tov to Washington, has written in
the Soviet military-journal Red Star
that German strategic plans in
World War I :were upset when the
Russians attacked East Prussia and
forced the enemy to concentrate
large forces on the Eastern front.
This military action, he says, con-
tributed to the French-British vic-
tory on the Marne in 1914.
Gen. Shilovsky points out that de-
