Great Leader of Race Is
Not Phenomenon,
Says Friend
Manilal Parekli Enjoying

By JACK BELLINGER
)> A personality as full of friend
ship as the doctrine of inter-racial
peace which he advocates makes
Manilal C. Parekh, noted Hindu
writer and lecturer, who spent the
week-end in Eugene as the guest
of the International house, a man
that anyone would like.
This man, by his long associa
tion with the English and other
white people, has so orientated
himself to the ways of the Tv'est
that one woidd not realize, unless
his nationality was already known,
that he was a son of the East by
birth.
Describes Glmndi
Asked about Mahatma Ghandi,
leader of pacifist resistance in In
dia, Mr. Parekh said, "Ghandi is
a representative of his race. He
V is not an isolated phenomenon. He
is unicpie in some respects, but
his real greatness lies in the fact
that he represents the genius of
the Indian race. Ghandi is only
leaving the fruit of the harvest
that was sown by great teachers
of the past.”
Mr. Parekh, who has written a
biography of Ghandi, as well as
several other works, said that he
was a member of the same class !
of people as this “great little man
of India.” It is from these people,
the Jains, thousands of whom
would not even kill an ant, that
Ghandi's non-violence idea origin
ated, Mr. Parekh said.
Speak of Ghandi's life, Mr. Pa
rekh said, “His parents were ex
tremely fine people, honest and
faithful. When he finished high
school he went to England to study
for the law. After three years in
England he was admitted to the
bar. He first started his non-vio
lence movement in South Africa.
Then he carried it over into India.
For ten years, he and his family
were put in jail again and again
for breaking laws. Ghandi never
accepted Christianity, although he
studied several yeajs.”
Mr. Parekh said that he found
great interest in Ghandi in China
and Japan, as well as in this coun
try.
Many people in India do not get
two square meals a day, according
to Mr. Parekh. He blames this on
the British government.
“The great problem of the fu
ture is the inter-racial problem,
not the international problem, Mr.
Parekh stated.
Mr. Parekh was very happy to
find so many friends here, espec
ially at the International house. He
spoke informally to a small group
which met at the International
house Saturday night. Sunday
evening he spoke at the Unitarian
church.

GHANDI'S REVOLT IN
INDIA DOOMED TO FAIL
(Continued from rage One) .
‘‘is attempting to unite an ultra- ;
heterogeneous mass of people, and
although he may be able to gath
er many followers, he can never
get behind him more than a small
minority of the Hindu people, be
cause his principles arc so abhor
rent to the Mohammedan one
third of the population, the aris
tocracy of India, in that he threat
ens to tear dowm the economic and
social system upon which their po
sition is based.
“If Ghandi could organize his
peoples and become capable of
warding off all India’s enemies,
even so Ghandi's policies would be
futile, for although the nation has
varied industries sire can carry
on successfully and so acquire
wealth for the purchase of neces
sities from many parts of the
world, she is remarkably devoid of
the fundamental natural resources
upon which even the lowest grade
of civilization in this day and age
depends. If the Hindu is to make
himself absolutely non-dependent
on the rest of the world, it means
that he must inevitably revert to
the most primitive and barbaric
mode of living.

necessary to any civilization which
she cannot produce herself. How

Talkie Talks
If you want to go up in the
air for a tour of cloudland just
witness “Young Eagles,” at the
McDonald theatre. Buddy Rogers
is a charming pilot and the things
he does with airplanes will keep
you on the edge of your seat. Then
to balance the w’eek the McDonald
is offering Gaynor and Farrell in
“High Society Blues.” It is a wel
come relief to find Janet rich in
this picture and not dependent*
upon Farrell to bring her out of
the slums.
Louise Fazenda’s fortune is in
her face sure enough, no one else
could possibly equal her ability to
look dumb and still be interesting.
In “The Broadway Hoofer" she is
at her best.
At the State we find another
thriller and the Colonial offers
“Hard To Get” with Dorothy Mac
kaill and Charlie Delaney.
The Heilig offers “Little John
ny Jones” today with “Show Girl
in Hollywood” coming to enliven
the rest of the week. Alice White
bowled ’em over in “Show Girl”
and this picture is a continuation
of her former success.
could she be self:sufficient ? Ghan
di’s political doctrines are like
those of many other political fig
ures who tried to solve their na
tional problems, with no funda
mental knowledge of the natural
resources of their country. Ghan
di has ignored this fact, and in his
ignorance he is leading his people
on a futile journey.”
