INDIAN NON-COOPERATION
MOVEMENT IS OBSERVED
Student from Punjab Watches
Political Struggle
The non-cooperation movement of
the people of India against the British
government is attracting world wide at
tention at the present time. Here on
the Oregon campus there is one very
much interested in the outcome of the
struggle for closer home rule. Bar
from his native India, Kanslii Bam,
major in the school of journalism,
watches closely the political struggle
in his homeland.
Mr. Bam came to the University
from Punjab, in the north of India.
While there he attended the University
of the Punjab. For two years he was
a stenographer in the service of the
British government.
“I believe that the non-cooperation
movement in India is going to suc
ceed,” he said, “although India will
have to sacrifice thousands and thou
sands of lives.”
In a hurried interview Mr. Bam
traced the history of the Nationalist
movement from its founding, in 1884,
to the present day struggle for recog
nition.
In 1884 a party of nine, with a well
educated native at the head,, was
formed for the purpose of appealing to
the British to grant more political of
fices to the natives of India. The little
faction increased in numbers. Moham
medan and Hindu, although of differ
ent creeds, joined the fast growing
movement and by 1912 it had a mem
bership of 1000.
“About this time,” said Mr. Bam.
“the people of India, regardless of
religious denomination, united in an
appeal to the English government for
the right of free speech, free arms act
fright” to carry arms), and all other
rights enjoyed by the citizens of the
British Empire.
“The government postponed the mat
ter, thinking that a critical time was
at hand. Humors of war were, spread
ing at that time. It was decided to
consider the demands of the natives
ns soon as conditions were again set
tled.
“In 1914 the great war began. Eng
land appealed to the Nationalist lead
ers of India, asking them to rouse the
people to help with men and money.
“This Tndia did whole-heartedly,” he
said, and his dark eyes flashed as he
recalled the Indian patriotism.
“After the close of the war, Mahat
ma (saint) Gandhi, the chief instru
ment in raising men and money for the
British, wrote to Premier Lloyd George,
urging that the case be considered and
that bread be supplied to the millions
of starving natives, in return for the
services rendered by them during the
war,”
Kanshi Kain saw inai me pcmiw
acknowledged receipt of the letter and
stated that the case of India would be
taken up after all international con
troversies were settled. Mahatma
Gandhi continued urging the people of
India to demand a settlement from the
English. In May 1919 the situation
reached the climax. There was in
tense agitation throughout the country,
especially in the Punjab.
“The government, fearing the rising
spirit of the people,” continued the
student from the far east, “tried to
suppress the demonstrations quietly, but
were unable to do so. Thereafter mili
tary force has been used in suppress
ing the nationalist spirit.
“Mahatma Gandhi, seeing the meth
ods of the British, became disgusted
and openly protested against the un
fair policy.”
At the present time there are about
140,000,000 people supporting the non
cooperation movement in India, which
was started by Mahatma Gandhi. They
are trying to get their demands granted
by peaceful means if possible. The
name, non-cooperation, was given to
the movement in 1919, but the move
ment started in 1912, as an outgrowth
of the nationalist movement.
The five main principles of the non
cooperation movement are: 1. Boycott
the government courts and start own
national courts; 2. Boycott all schools
and colleges under English supervision:
3. Boycott English goods and start
home spinning wheels: 4. Drop all titles
and degrees given by the English: 5.
Refuse to pay taxes and to do military
service.
“The first four principles have been
supported by the people.” concluded
Mr. Ram. “and have been carried out
to certain extent, and the people arc
now looking toward the fifth prin
eiple.”

ROBBINS TELLS PURPOSE
OF COMMERCE COURSE
High School Work Divided into Four
Groups; Value of Educational
Journals Discussed
The primary object of a commercial
course in high school should be to give
the student an understanding of the
business world, a knowledge of under
lying principles which enables him to
adjust himself to conditions, according
to Dean E. C. Robbins of the school of
commerce, who addressed the general
educational seminar Tuesday night.
“High schools teaching commercial
work might be divided into four
groups,” said Dean Robbins. "Schools
where students take the course under
‘sufferance’ or compulsion; those
teaching a narrow commercial course
eliminating all cultural subjects;
schools combining the commercial and
cultural subjects but making the in
terpretation on a purely commercial
slant: and those which present commer
cial courses as a basis for an under
standing of the business world.”
Dean H. D. Sheldon, Prof. H. R.
Douglass, Prof. C. A. Gregory, and Dr.
B. W. DeBusk discussed the profession
al journals in the field of education in
which each is engaged in relation to
stimulating students of the department
to read the better professional journals.
A combined seminar and reading
room is provided in the education build
ing where about 20 of the leading jour
nals are provided by faculty members.
Here students may read and discuss
articles in the journals.
FIVE NEW NAMES ADDED
TO SPANISH CLUB ROLL
Games at Meeting Wednesday Night
Played at El Circulo
Castellano
The playing of games, the directions
| for which were given in Spanish, was
the diversion of the Spanish Club mem
bers who met Wednesday night at the
V. W. C. A. bungalow. A short business
meeting preceded the social time.
A game, which combined intellect with
! fun, was one in which a program re
sembling a dance program was handed
out to each. These were numbered to
! ten and were to be filled out with names
I just as at any dance. However—we’re
nearing the point of the game now—in
Istead of dancing with the name on one’s
program, one conversed fluently, more or
less, in Spanish on a topic of conversa
f tion previously announced. With some,
f the conversation rose to a point of heated
argument, while with others ‘ ‘ silence
reigned supreme. ’ ’ Five new members
I were added to the club at the meeting,
i They are Senor Paul De Konig, Senor
1 Edgar Blood, Sonora Flock, Senorita
I Jean Straclian, Senorita Viola Johnson.
