At Work in Bombed London
THE
INDIAN
PIONEER CORPS
The members of the Indian Pioneer Corps are helping to heal the scars of London clear- ing up the mess left by German bombers.
The Commanding Officer of the Corps has the highest praise for them, and after seeing them at work, I agree.
The Colonul led me to a pile of ruins where his Indian Pioneers were working alongside British troops. The Indians and the British worked as comrades, and in rest periods offered each other cigarettes in cordial friendship.
I remarked to the Colonel on his fluent Urdu. He explained that he was in India for over 29 years. "And," he added, "I'm used to the dhal-roti diet as well.
The Colonel loves his men and is proud of them. Ile suddenly stopped and said to me: "See that man working on that pneomatic, drill over there? When he first came to me, he did not know anything about the machine; to-day he is an expert-knows his joli from A to Z."
✩
Ile took me to see another Indian who WILD cutting through a huge steel girder with an acetylene lamp.
The worker told me how frightened he had been at first at the sight of the myriad sparks which seemed to. fly into his face. Now he considers himself master of his "sparkl- ing machine", as he describes ⚫it.
The Pioneer Corps of In- dian Unit was first formed in October 1939. The Colonel, who had extensive experience of Inbour conditions anal Pioneer work in the Punjab, thought of the idea of organis- ing the Indian labour in Britain for this work when the war broke out.
sci-
The response was instant and splendid. Indian men, hawkers, walters, fuc- tory-workers, packers in ware- houses, students and univer- sity graduates, flocked to en- Hist in the Corps, and join in the hard work that helps the war effort,
*
I think it is the most re- presentative Indian organisa- tion I have ever come across. I talked with Sikhs and Mos- lems from the Punjab and the North-West Frontier;. Madra- sis from the South; Assamis from the East; Baboos from Bengal; Mathurs from the the South; Mathurs from United Provinces; and ona Bilimoria from Bombay,

In various parts of Britain they have worked night and day in clearing the debris, res- cuing the injured and extricat- ing the dead buried under the masonry.
"Bombs or no bombs, we go just the same when the call of duty comes," said one of them. He Was Kikarajec Bilimoria of Bombay. He used to have a nice job with the millionaire family of the Tatas: now he works with pick and shovel.
The gong sounded for the mid-day meal. I went off with my Indian friends to partake of their fish, bread and tea.
They get an hour off for their meal which they enjoy to the full. They take an In- dian drum and flute with them, and play after the meal.
talent; he dances and sings to the accompaniment of the drunt. He sang for me two of the most popular Indian karh- lees, while Karim played on the drum. In the midst of bombed London I enjoyed a perfect Indian afternoon.
Abdul Karim is a versatile person. He used to work in a circus, where he performed acrobatic tricks on n silken cord. He has travelled all over Europe, including Italy and Germany.
"When the war broke out," he said, "I gave up my job: nobody was likely to be in- terested in my Acrobatics when two political acrobats had started their show! I de- cided to do my bit for my Badashah,"
I found that most of them had joined the Corps volun- tarily, and I felt proud of it.
Sergeant Hopkins entered the room to tell his "boys" to resume work.
He is a genial fellow; his skin tanned by the Indian sun. As the men said goodbye to me, the sergeant snid proudly: "They are the best workers I know. They are extremely adaptable, and have a fine sense of duty. I think they arc rendering the most valuable service

CHURCHILL
is Man of the Year'
Winston Spencer Churchill, British Prime Minister, is named by "Time," the weekly news magazine, as the "Man of the Year" in 1940. This designation is made each year by the editors of the magazino to the man or woman who, in. their opinion, has brought most dramatic about the change in the course of history during the previous 12 months.
"The obvious United States candidate for the title was Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who got himself elected for an unprecedented third term," the announcement says; "But Franklin Roosevelt's other ac- complishments of 1940 were not breath-taking.
☆
"On the score of leadership, Wendell Willkio, although a business man, convinced 22,- 500,000 voters that he spoke for a vital cause, performed more strikingly. But in the end Wilkie did not succeed in leading his crusade to vic- Lory,"
"Time" magazine editorsTM described Mussolini as, "the year's greatest flop," and Joseph Stalin.ns having "lost several teeth before he chewed off an edge of tough little Fin- land." Hitler was more suc- cessful, they held.
Many "fa" were found by them in 1941. Among them was "if Britain stili stands at
the end of 1941, Adolf Hitler may be on his way to join the distinguished company of Benito Mussolini, General Gamelin and Almazan and John Llewellyn Lewis-those men of high hopes who' failed to come through in the crisie of 1940."
Among the
who Europeans "made their mark" in 1940, "Time" magazine editors name the late Premier Metaxas of Greece and Ernest Bevin, who become a power of strength in Britain's movement, who rallied labour in Britain's cause, who became a symbol of the breakdown of class distinction by which Britain achieved grauter unity to fight her battles.".
*.*
"Yet the curious fact was that in most men's minds everywhere even in Germany, to judge by Nazi denunciations-Winston Churchill outranked others as the man of 1040, they declared.
"The man-of-the-year Churchill *does not stand alone. Beside and behind Churchill stands a very small man multiplied a millionfoki, he is just an Englishman.
To the small man of Britain in 1940 Winston Churchill spoke words that may live as long as Shakes- peare's,"
*
"Let us therefore brace aur- selves and so bear ourselves that if the British Commonwealth and Empire hast for thousand years, men will still say, this was their finest hour.*
"To the small man's behavior hung the shape of the future. His civilised toughness, his balanced courage and his simplicity altered the course of history in 1940, With- out him there could have been no Churchil."
