The Community Chest Problem
rIERE ig one phase of the Community Chest problem this
year which we regard as of supreme importance, namely.:
the manner in which the money is to be distributed. -
The great need this year, as everyone knows, is relief for
those who are ont of work, and families dependent upon them.
As a result a larger proportion than ever before should be ap
portioned to those organizations in the Community Chest, hav
ing charge of such work.
Other organizations, doing good work of course, but in less
urgent directions, should, we believe, be willing to accept
smaller proportion than formerly, in view of the critical situa
tion with which this, and every other, community is faced.
e
THERE is no need of getting panicky over the matter. The
nrARftnt. writAi fins Tiist rnmnlaferl a trin thrniiirhniif ..Via
northwest and is convinced general conditions here will be bet
ter this winter than in a majority of districts elsewhere.
Nevertheless, a greater need for charitable aid will exist
than ever before, and a general revival of that spirit of common
effort and self-sacrifice so conspicuous during the world war,
has become an inescapable obligation of good citizenship.
We feel sure that those units in the Community Chest, cog'
nizant of the true situation, will gladly co-operate in the im
portant matter of concentrating this year upon distributing the
bulk of the available funds where they will be most needed
and will do the entire community the most good.
At Last, A True Christian
npHE visit of Mahatma Gandhi to London is a tremendously
1nt.0rAflt.ino intAfAflfinfy anr aifvmflffnnt av.nt
Old John Bull frankly admits Mahatma is a hard nut to
crack. A writer in the London Times fairly expresses the typi
cal British reaction when he says :
"Mahatma Oandhl Is difficult to deal with for he really lent what
he pretends to be. Be pretends to be a dark-skinned son ot God, a
modern saint but In reality ha Is a very clever and adroit politician,
disguised ss a aelnt. In his plea for non-resistance he Is merely mak
ing a virtue of necessity, with no army or navy behind him, non
resistance la not only hla most effective but his only available weapon.
Re preaches against war, yet he adopts all the methods ot war, pos
alble to an Impoverished and unarmed nation. He orders his followers
to refute to pay taxes, to refuss military service, to Join. In a boycott
against British-made goods, all methods of war, accepted by world
powers sa causes of war but In this case not accompanied by war,
simply because India la physically unable to wage war. Aa a result
Oandhl Is most difficult to deal with, for there Is no effective way of
opposing him. He- Is actually a rebel, who refuses to accept the re
sponsibilities and sacrifices of rebellion. If he were a militant leader,
our army and navy eould handle him: It he were a genuine saint, de
pending upon the efficacy of fasting, self-denial and prayer, he
could be Ignored, but when he la neither, but a little ot both, the gov
ernment stands rather ridiculous and powerless before him."
There is, we believe, a great deal of truth in this assertion,
But there is another angle to the situation, and an interesting
one.
Isn't it true, for example, that England is completely baf
fled by this "dark skinned infidel," because for nearly 2000
years this is the first time it has had to deal, politically and
diplomatically, with a true Christian, a national leader who
does not profess Christianity, but aotually PRACTICES ITt
The burden of proof, it seems to us, rests upon those who
deny the truth of this statement. If Gandhi in his private and
publid life is not genuinely Christ-like, then WHAT is bet

preached humility, Gandhi praotices THAT; Christ re
nounced wealth," extolled poverty j certainly Gandhi, with his
loin cloth and goat's milk, espouses both. Christ's politioal phi
losophy was based solidly upon the brotherhood of Man ; in his
plan for Indian self-government, that is the cornerstone of
Gandhi a platforin.tlie essence of his entire political faith.
No matter from what direction Mahtama Gandi is attacked.
it seems to us that he comes closer to realizing the Christian
ideal, than any other national leader in the history of modern
civilization.
e e e e . e ,
T MAT be true that Gandhi's dootrine is, and always has been,
1 influenced by the conditions surrounding him, but does any
student of history deny that Christ's dootrine was influenced
by the conditions surrounding HIMf The important faot, we
believe, is not what may have made this "Saviour of India'
Christ-like, but the fact that he is Christ-like.
A ND even MORE interesting, if not more important, is this
That the first instance of Christiapiity being applied lit
erally in international relations, is making good, getting re
sults where the accepted methods of rebellion have failed.
What the final outcome will be of course no one knows. But
this muoh is certain in this "dark-skinned man of God," this
emaciated, half-naked mendicant, lies the only hope of a peace-
ful solution of the problem of Indian home rule. Without him
India would be lost, with him India may win.

(Long Beach. Cal, Telegram)
How would California and other
states of the west Ilk to lead the
grand march ot the states Including
New Tork City and Its Wall street
back to prosperity California and
the west weU may assume leadership
In a business revival. This Is the
opinion expressed In Long Beech by
Thomas I. Parkinson of New Tork,
president of the Equitable Life As
surance Society of the United States.
New York wttl take Its cue from the
reel of Vie country, said Mr. Parkin
son, picking up or lagging aa other
parte of the nation take the con
structive Initiative, or are hesitant
and halting. "New Tork wants to
know what you are doing, and Cali
fornia haa many reasons for going
ahead, aald Mr, Parkinson.
This - more than mere Idle com
pliment to California and the west.
Mr. Parkinson undoubtedly means
sincerely Juet what be says. Cal Hor
n's hss a wonderful opportunity to
electrify the rest of the country.
California may do thia bv ahskins
oft Its handicapping leers , and by
marching straight an sad to revival
of industry and trade. Great con
structional enterprises, mounting In
total coat to hundreds ot millions ot
dollars, her In eoutnern California,

coming soon. Nowhere In the Unit

California really may lead the

A correspondent writes to the Cap
ital Journal as follows:
It would help the present situ
ation of non-employment If all
the married women, whose hus
bands are drawing salaries or In
business, would voluntarily re
sign. It does not seem right to
me that one family should be
getting so much income when
there are many honest girls who
have to live and are out of
positions. I . know you have
thought of this because of edi
torials written before. I wonder
if you would write some more
of them and encourage those
women to .resign and stay- in
their own homes. There are
plenty of ways for a married
woman to exercise her talents be
sides taking the bread from sin
gle girls who need to work.
There is no question but that a
contributing cause to the present
unemployment situation is the num
ber of married women,- whose hus
bands have salaried positions, who
are working In offices instead of
housekeeping, thus increasing "the
family Income at the expense of the
unemployed, but the Capital Journal
doesn't know Just what can be done
about. It. These women want luxur
ies or a higher standard of living and
are willing. If necessary to sacrifice
family life to obtain It.
We have frequently commented on
this fact, but we have as yet to learn
of a single Instance where any such
married woman left a Job at her own
volition or had any compunctions
about thus taking the bread out of
the mouths of others. Their main
lookout Is for themselves a point of
view that obtains pretty generally.
Occasionally an employer takes a
hand, but employers are loth to In
terfere and the principle of lalssez
fairs rules.
