Little Success.

I understand, says a special correspondent that the Communist undergraduates had been pushing their recruiting campaign quietly, but persistently, for some months without, it is believed, much success. ·

A serious view is taken of their activities becauso. It is realised that an Indian student converted to Communism at this stage of his careor may, on his return to. the Enst, be a very great factor in the dissemination of "Red" pro- pagands among his fellow country- men,

After recalling that he, the writer, was one of "our boya”—u member of an American regiment which operated light railways for the British Army-he relates:

"On March 24th, 1918, we ran a Baldwin locomotive off the track into a shell hole in order to keep the Germans from capturing and) using it. The locomotive typifies. the whole inter-Allied debt.

"Bail at Eddystone. Pennsyl- vania, it was sold to the British Government. at a price, which afforded American workmen good wages and the Baldwin stock- holders. good dividends. Th British Government 'paid' for It out of money, borrowed from the! United States, which is another way of saying that the United States paid for the locomotive and the British Government promised to repay the American Govern- ment.

Taxing the Britons.:

The American Government had itself borrowed the money from certain of its citizens, and it is at this minute taxing those citizens and others, including me, to pay interest on the money bor- rowed. It says to the British Government: Come, now, re-j member your pre also. Tax your citizens more in order that we may tax our citizens less. For so it was agreed.'

"And the net effect of the agree- ment is that the survivors of the British. Third Army are being taxed more in order that we, who were attached to that, army, should be taxed less. We are dunning them to pay for the loco- motive we dumped into the shell; hole. It sounds absurd; it is absurd; and to one who recalls the circumstances of that terrible night In March 1918, it alto'seems shubby.
