: ' By Boyd W. Tucker
.BOMBAY, India (AP) Out of the gloom and despair of a world suf
fering from the holocaust of the world war, a star of hope has arisen
In. the east In the person of one whom men have followed with In
terest and Inspiration. , . , , ..
Men find It difficult to classify
Oandhl. ; His Is that ' subtle, deep
spiritual 'naturfs which defies the
labels we westerners are so eager to
attach to everyone... - ;
tHW followers call him Mahatma,
or "Great soul." He himself prefers
to be called one who experiments with
truth." . . .,
7 The Christian finds him so much
akin to Jesus that he tries to claim
him as a fellow-Ohrlstlan. despite all
the Mahatma's disclaimers, . '
." The young communists of India
with their eyes fixed upon Russia
as their model, find themselves con
founded In the presence of this man
who has' put them all to shame with
his utter Identification! with and de
votion to the poor., i . j
. '. Row are they to explain a man
who refuses to own any' property,
Who has literally sold' til that he
Had. and given . It to India's poor,
yet has kept perfectly free from the
elan, consciousness of the . proletar
iat? . :.-..:(
i Is 16 any wonder that enraged bol
sheviks turn the forces of their In
ternational propaganda against this
pan' who, while propertyless, will not
join lianas wttn mem in a oiass war
Would Convert Capitalists
At the same time, 'wherever
Oandhl goes, the' rich Indian cap
Mallets, via with, one another for the
privilege of entertaining him, and
this In spite of the tact, that by
Wrongest Invective and the powerful
sample of his life, he utterly con
demns . their . exploitation ' of the
rasants and workers,
But Oandhl has no quarrel with
It?
the capitalist, for he considers him
a fellow victim of the capitalist sys
tem, one who will respond to spir
itual treatment and become trans
formed from a profiteer Into a willing
servant of the poor. -
The Mahatma has no desire to pen
alize thrift and ability and put a
premium upon waste end Incompe
tence. Rather he would make all
men stewards controlled by a spirit
of unselfish consideration for others.
Oandhl would not, as some of his
fellow patriots desire, snatoh the
crowns from the heads of the Indian
princes. Instead he would move
upon them so that of their own free
will they might surrender their prer
ogatives In the Interests of their sub
jects, r -. .' . I
He Is loath to separate from the
British empire. : He would prefer to
work a change of heart In the Brit
ish and convert them from imper
ialists Into fellow citizens of a great,
democratic commonwealth.
Freaones Good Will
His doctrine and use of non-violence
Is not, therefore, revolution
ary In the western sense of seeking
to hrlng about an abrupt cleavage
from the dominant member of the
commonwealth, ' '
It has been this aspect of his pro
gram which has made It difficult for
the westerner and the westernised
Indians to understand his Interpre
tation of "complete Independence."
He Is speaking the literal truth when
he says that pit movement Is not
conceived in any spirit of 111 will
towards any group or class, hut In
good will for the profit of all.

RUSSIAN EXILES
SUSPECT OFFER
OF FORGIVE!
Kerensky Says Return Will
Be Conditioned Upon
Restoration of Humane
; treatment by Government
PARIS (DP) As a result; of ..the
changed policy of the soviet govern
ment, as manifest In Stalin's speech,
Russian socialists emigres in Europe
expect, an Invitation to return to
their' homeland after 14 years of
exllei .1 '
It.. Alexander Kerensky, provisional
president of Russia after the first
revolution, doubts the sincerity of
reports from Moscow suggesting the
Invitation Is Impending, but says
that If the soviet government does
act the emigres . will Insist Upon a
changed policy In Russia,
Included among the emigres are
thousands of trained engineers, doc
tors, educators, mechanics, skilled
workers and termers.' They- have
found work elsewhere and most of
themj have Improved their knowledge
of their trade or profession by con
tact Hvlth the outside world.
Long Time.
"I am convinced that It will be
a long time before the frontiers of
Russia will be opened to our exiles,"
M. Kerensky said.
"Our , return would certainly, be
conditional upon the resoration oi
humane treatment.' Political pris
oners would have to be released and
brought' back from Siberia. The re
pression of peasantry would have to
cease.. , We would Insist upon the
freedom of the press, freedom of
religion, reopening of the churches
and liberty of speech.
"It is doubtful, however. If the
present government would grant us
those conditions and guarantees, for
that would mean the end of the
soviet retme. . I am convinced that
Stalin's speech was not so much'
to mark a change In soviet policy
as to facilitate the obtaining pi
foreign credits." ;
M. O. Minor, chief of the Rus
sian socialist party, now exiled 1n
Paris, doubts whether many Russian
exiles would care to return to Rus
sia. Most of them have bettered
themselves and would be wary of
soviet promises.
Jails Filled.
."All . the Russian. Jails and the
prison camps of Siberia and Boiovky
Island; are filled with our' comrades,"
he said. "If the soviet 'factories
need workers they should first libe
rate the political prisoners, among
whom are many excellent technic
ians, professional men and men ca
pable to direct the factories being
built under the Five-year Plan."
The aged chief of the group of
Russian social-democrats, M. "A. Fot
resoff, a friend of Lenin In his
youth, often Imprisoned by the czars,
doubts whether communism has
really changed.
"I will never believe In the evo
lution of communism, nor In a co
operation of bolshevlsts and their
political victims." M. Potresoff said.
"The socialist emigres will return
only upon condition that the dlcta
ture be suppressed. That would
mean the suicide of communism.
Otherwise, I doubt If one man would
return to Russia, fearing a pretext
to massacre us there."
MONROE, La. (DP) A scratch
from a pet, wolf . that was at first
thought not dangerous, caused the,
death of Dr. 3. L. Stewart here.

ight after the war you got about

Why lb(iflS7 a S(g(piTD(dllhi(0)5g
mi inrD!??
You expect bargains these days in
everything you buy, but in almost
no other article can you find such 2'
extraordinary value as in a Good
year Tire.
Prices vare the lowest in the his
"ijory Nqf Jthe automobile but, more
than that, quality is the highest.
As an example, in 1918 the
price of a 30x3Mscord (the
commonest size) was
$41.65. Now, a Goodyear
x balloon for the same make
of car size 28 x 4.75-19) ;
sells for $8.55. -
That's only about a fifth
of the price; and it's put
ting it modestly to say
that today's Goodyears
will give three time he
mileage.

Right after the war you got about
two tire miles for a cent Today you
get nearer thirty for a cent, from
Goodyears.
And that's not saying a word about
the incomparably greater comfort
and style and safety of the new
standard All -Weather Tread Tire as
Goodyear builds it now!
Isn't it short-sighted to
risk delays and danger on
threadbare tires when
the first-choice tire of the
world can be bought at
today's record-breaking
low prices? "'
Of course it is! And when
you buy new tires let your
common sense answer
the question," Why buy a
second-choice tire, when
first-choice costs no more?"
