BEWARE THE SEA

ΑΝ

N 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- porator Hitler, beware of the sea!

"You are a victor as far as you have gone. You are

one of the great conquerors of the world.

I "But beware of the sea. The sea is a greater con-

queror.

"It can engulf armies, as it engulfed the hosts of Pharaoh, It can swallow up the invaders of its isles. as it swallows up the fool- hardy little lemmings.

"Do not depend too much upon an ever-favouring for. tune on the land,

The following extracts were taken from a brochure issued by the Ministry of Information, describing the Nazi education of German children.

Youth belongs to the Fuhrer. From the age of 10, drill and route-marching take up nearly all the children's free time: Those of them who are Aryans must join the Hitler Youth.

A way out of the

Indian Deadlock

BY W. N. EWER

N the House of Commons 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

become postponement has

the corner stone of British polley to- wards India. Lord Zetland, Sccre- tary of State for India, seems & man passionately devoted to one idea that of putting things off.

Does Lord Zetland-do his 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 necessity at last." * **

Officialdom repents a hundred times a year that full dominion status for India is the goal of British policy.

But the rest of the time it spends "In thinking "out"reasons or hunting-

"Gorman 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 harshi.Jss of outlook his own words. A favourite school marching sống looks ta 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 British promises and to drive 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 excuso 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 settlo- 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- lock between Congress and the 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."

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, failing in direct negotiation, agreed to go to arbitration, and to accept the result?

D

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

accept?.

A Hindu judge of eminence 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 Britalo, 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 sides could accept as a just and honourable compromise..

Something of this kind must be done. Somehow 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 we shall drift' back through" trouble' to new disaster.: 1-

Procrastination is India's great- est danger. I commend that son- tence of Burke's not only to Lord Zetland, but to the Indian leaders Be Well.

SOLDIER AND PACIFIST

SIXTEEN years ago when

Hugh Dalton first entered

the House of Commons his chief motive was to prevent a war over 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- perience of it. He joined the RA.SC. at the outset of the last war. He found it dull and joined

towards Italy ever since.

So it is easy enough to see why Hugh Dalton's two-and-a-quarter years as Under-Scereantry of State for Foreign Affairs in the Labour Government of .1929-31 were the hardest and the happiest of his life, -Arthur-Henderson,-a-great-man-- was Foreign Secretary. The Etonlun and the old Iron moulder worked in a perfect companionship that was equally creditable to bolii. Looked up to from the dark valley down which we march to-day, their achievement seems to shine as part of another world,

The renewed diplomatic rela- tions with the U.S.S.R., ruptured by the preceding Conservative Government. They negotiated the simultaneous evacuation of the Rhineland by British, French and Belgian troops, five years ahead of the Treaty of Versalles time-table, They signed the "Optional Clause" and accepted the General Act of Arbitration et Geneva, so com- settle all her mitting Britain to disputes by predetermined peace- ful procedures.

They made British foreign policy pivot on the League. They negotiated, with others, the London Naval Treaty, limiting in every class of stup the three greatest navies in the world. And when the Government fell, they were preparing for the Disarmament Conterence.

In that 1931 Election-the issues were wholly domestic-both Hen- derson and Dalton lost their seats.

M

Dalton went back to tench economics and public finance at the London School of Economice, the staff of which ho had joined after the war. And he seized the freedom from office to write "Practical Socialism for Britain," the best book there is on the mind and programme of the British Labour Party".

This man, at once a technical economist of some note, an ex-junior ministar, with wide experience, and n record of success in foreign affairs, and a political loader in his own right, has been called to full a post of heavy, responsibility at a time of grave danger. Fortunately the post to which he has bom called in ons which: supreasly suits 'his' talents. ・ As Minister · of Beonomin Warfare, his,combination of economic, training and diplomatic, ex«. perience is precisely the qualification. required.

Oh grandmama!

HR tight frilled bodice and the flared crinoline skirt have come straight out of the old family album, but the figure

is her own. Great grandmama could never have achieved this alim athletic line without the high-pressure help of a sturdy Indy's maid, but she achieves it by watching her diet and her drinks. Her cocktail for example is always a “Gimlet” because she knows that the girl who insists on Rosc's Lime Juice today avoids a headache and a Rubens contour tomorrow.
