Muslim Leader's Appeal To The American People THE INDIAN PROBLEM
JAPAN AND ALLY TRADE MEASURES
Tokyo, To-day.
Despite continued negotia- tions "between the Japanese Ambassador in Paris, Mr. Renzo Sawada, and the Quaix d'Orsay, the French authorities have so far shown no intention of renewing the trade agreement between the two countries, according to Japanese reports.
Japanese business circles point out that France has been striving hard to draw closer to Britain in economic relations and to regulate the Anglo- French economic system on a bloc basis. In trade relations, France is said to be endeavouring with Britain to establish self-supply and self-suf- ficiency for Home and Colonies.
TEXTILES BARRED
The same circles further point out that Britain and France are restrict-
ing imports into the Franco-British economic bloc as far as possible and have imposed a licence system on imports to British Congo and French Morroco, allegedly violating the trea- ties.
Japanese cotton textiles, it is stat- from ed are virtually being barred these parts of Africa.
The French
it is added, intend to Government, strengthen the restrictions of Imports In order to conserve raw materials for the sake of the munition industry.

LAUNCHES ATTACK ON GANDHI PARTY
New Delhi, To-day. AN APPEAL TO THE American people regarding the political situation in India was issued yes- terday by Sir Abdoola Haroon, member of the Central Assembly and chairman of the foreign committee of the All-India Muslim League. Sir Abdoola declares: "American interest in the cause of Indian freedom is praiseworthy but be- fore its people express any opinion about our affairs we hope they will acquaint themselves with all aspects of the Indian problem, which is bristling with difficulties that are incapable of being mitigated by the verbosity of the Congress Party, which is now trying to woo American pub- lic opinion.

“ENSLAVEMENT" "Therefore the Congress variety of independence means the enslavement of at least ninety million Muslims who last are pledged to resist it to the ditch."
The Muslims were not opposed Indian Independence; they had always worked for it, but the main obstacle was the failure of Congress to the confidence of the Muslims.

Driven NEARLY MAD by Pain
Sufferings banished by
DR. WILLIAMS' PINK 'PILLS. "The pains in my head were so se- vere that they nearly drove me mad,'” stated Mrs. Clark, of 41, Southroyd Park, Pudsey, England, when describ- ing a recent experience.
"Some months ago I was attacked by nervous debility and became very depressed. In addition to the terrible pains in my head my whole body was racked with pain, and I became, very weak. In spite of treatment and every attention I felt no better and I began to think I should never be well again. "After reading in a newspaper of a case similar to mine I decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and it was not long before T' felt the benefit, The de- pression lifted and the pains in my head and body became easier. I con- tinued with the pills and my health was restored. I shall ever be grateful to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills."
