BEWARE THE SEA AN unsigned article

in the Hearst news- papers, which is attri buted to Mr. William Randolph Hearst, warns Hitler not to attempt the conquest of the British Empire.

"Herr Hitler, Chancellor Hitler, General Hitler, Im- perator Hitler. beware of the sea!

"You are a victor as far as you have gone. You aro one of the great conquerors of the world.

"But beware of the sea. The sea is a greater com. queror.

It can engulf armies, as it engulfed the hosts of Pharaoh, It can swallow

A way out of the

Indian Deadlock

BY W. N. EWER

they are talking about India. But not about the

big issues. Discussion of those is postponed for the time being.

That is hardly surprising. For the become postponement has corner stone of Drillsh policy to- wards India. Lord Zefland, Secre- tary of State for India, seems a man passionately devoted to one idea that of putting things off.

Does Lord Zetland-do "advisers" of the India Office-by any chance ever remember a wise sentence of Burke's:-

"It is better to do early and from foresight that which we may be obliged to do from recessity atlast."

tween 37-38 per cent. of young Aryans have flat feet, and many suffer from weak spines. Systematically, however, they are hardened, in mind as well as body.

"Cariman youth" says Hitler, "must be as hard as stool from the factories of Krupp.?!

Baldur von Shirach, head of the Hitler Youth, aims at "brutality, and harshness of outlook"—his own words. A favourite school marching song. looks to victorious war:

out pretexts for not moving towards the goal just now.

It would be hard to devise a more stupid policy or one better calcu- lated to destroy confidence in drive British promises and to Indians back to the thesis that they will get nothing out of the British except by force.

But folly in Whitehall does not excuse folly in India. And it is an Indian folly which is providing Whitehall with just the excuse it wants for doing nothing.

"Settle your minorities problem. among yourselves and then we will go ahead," says Whitehall in effect. And India falls to provide a settle- ment. "While we may not allow the British Government to plead minorities and the like as a bar to right action on their part, we may not blind ourselves to the fact that those questions exist and demand a solution at our hand," says Mr. Gandhi

Quite well put. But no solution comes. Talks go on, negotiations go on. But always the result is dead- the lock between Congress and

Moslem League, between--Mr- Gandhi and Mr. Jinnah.

That way seems to get no- where. Is it not time for the Indian leaders to try another method? For the questions "demand a solution."

"Though the whole world be ruined around. us after the day of war, What the Devil do we care ---we don't give a hoot any more,

go marching for- ward though everything fall away, For the world will be ours.

to-morrow, as Germany is to-day." War, and preparation for wor give the kaynates of the whole teaching plan,

Suppose that Mr. Gandhi and Mr. Jinnah stood aside for a bit and let others try?

Suppose that Congress on the one hand, the Moslem League on the other, falling in direct negotiation, agreed to go to arbitration, and to accept the rosult?

Would it not be possible to set up tribunal which both would accept?

บ

A Hindu Judge of eminenco chosen by Congress. A Moslem Judge of eminence chosen by the League. And a chairman of equal standing chosen by these two- preferably neither from India nor from Britain, but from one of the Dominions?

Here, it seems to me, is a way to break the deadlock, to get a

solu- tion which would probably not be all that either side would desire, but which should be one that both aldea could accept as a just and honourable, compromise.

Something of this kind must be done. Bomehow the deadlock has to be broken by bringing in a third party to help. ...

Elso deadlock will go on in India. Whitehall will use the pretext for doing nothing. A great oppor« tunity will be thrown away, and wo shall drift back through trouble to new disaster,......

SOLDIER AND PACIFIST

SIXTEEN years ago when Hugh Dalton first entered

the House of Commons - his chief motive was to prevent a war ever breaking out again. War, he believed, was not inevitable, could be prevented. And politics was the instru- ment of prevention.

His hatred of war founded in part upon his own personal ex- pertence of it. He joined the RAS.C. at the outset of the last war. He found it dull and 'joined

brought the last three British runs back, over river after river, For that he may wear the little blue ribbon of the

Italian Medal for Mil- Valour. tory The Italians gave him the transport for his guns at the cost of leaving their own

guns be- 'hind. It won an

art of generosity that has colour- ed his attitude

towards Italy ever since.

So it is easy enough to see why Hugh Dalton's two-and-n-quarter years as Under-Secreatry of State for Foreign Affairs in the Labour Government of 1929-31 were the hardest and the happiest of his life.
