EU GANDHI'S GOAL, SAYS DISCIPLE Andrews Charges "Reli- Dr. ort-of-Spain, Trinidad, -- Dr. hs Fore Andrews, represen- jative of the Dehli Brotherhood »¢ India, has completed his work In British Guiana and is here for a brief stay before returning to Andis. Mr. Andrews, 8 Cambriire University man, is a devoted friend and co-worker of Mahatma Gand- hi, and is also a professor in tho school of Rabindranath Tagore, the Indian poet and philosopher. His mission to the West Indies was partly in connection with the im- migration question, upon which he is an authority. There are thousands of native Hindds in the West Indies import- ed as laborers. Thousands more are to be brought here. In Trin- id2d there is a large East Indian population. . In a statement made here on religions Dr. Andrews declared that the Christian religion at its inception stood for an equality of man, Attacks Racial Religion "It was this that made Mahatma Gandhi such a profound believer in the British constitution as the champion of racial freedom," he said, "But the pendulum ' has swung back, The reaction came to- ward the close of the nineteenth century, Equality outside of the white races became a question. What has been called 'the relig- fon of the white race' has taken the place of the Christian religion, This white race religion has car- ried with it imperial domination and economic exploitation, This has subtly undermined the British constitution and has left it today in many parts of the world mere- Jy a facade without any substan- tial background, 'The spread of white racialism has infected the Christian Church. In South Africa Mahatma Gandhi was refused admission to a Chris- tian Church at Christmastide, We have a religion today which calls itself Christian but does mot ac- knowledge the ultimate Christian principle of racial equality.

Kermode Parr i There are good fruit a in ondop, but 'the true Londoner prefers to buy his food from a barrow." From Putney to Pop- lar and from Hampstead Heath to Clapham Common, every few blocks you find a street lined all along one side with these stalls on wheels, You can buy a toothbrush or a sheet of music or a leg of lamb from a borrow, but the great majority of them deal in fruit and Vegetables. The fruit {is just as 800d as in the stores, the prices aré lower and often the coster salesman is a comedian, 'Whoa! Wotcher doin' nak? Don't push the blinkin' stal over. Buy! Buy! This is the place to buy sun-kissed oranges, moon- kisses apples and star-kissed ban- anas! Every bloomin' bit o' fruit on this 'ere stall 'as bin kissed by somethin' or somebody! Buy! Buy! i !

The stallkeper wastes no money on appearances; he looks shabby enough when you: meet him at night trunling away his whole stock-in-trade to be parked in some dirty shed.

"There's a tomato at the bottom!" was. his explanation "It's goin' to be fair trade between you and me in the future see!" Sometimes there is an acute psy-. chology of salesmanship to guard against, "Is them plums Good?

He was inconti- nently snickered at by the know-it- alls, as is the usual fate of prophets. The followipg extracts from the re- port of a correspondent of the Lon- don Times show that the unfortunate man was' a pretty accurate forecaster after all. The Centurion is an obso- lete battleship in the British Navy, and they are using her as a target in battle-practice.

Approaching her, the Versa- tile draped herself in flags, but it was not until we were close alongside, fly- ing 'You are standing into danger' and hailing through a megaphone, that the vessel was at last persuaded to alter her course. "The Nelson opened fire, and we saw tall spray fountains leaping out of the water round the Centurion which steamed stolidly on, occasional- ly altering her course to avoid pun- ishment. Airplanes were overhead to spot the fall of the rounds and re- gent by, wireless, and before long the clson 'was hidden behind a smoke- screen on the northern. horizon; but still her rounds pitched about the tar- get, and sometimes through glasses we saw a cloud of brownish dust as one went home. The Centurian was steaming at what looked like about 15 knots, and it gave one an uncanny sensation to realize that there was not a living soul or board--that she was being steamed and steered by wireless from the Shikari, some dis- tance astern, "The Nelson's first shoot ended at about 1040 a.m, but at 11.15 she car- ried out another run under similar conditions, She finished in about a quarter of an hour, after which the Adventure, steaming down from the northward, engaged the Centurion, firing to starboard on a westerly course. Again we saw the splashes springing up from the sea all round the target, and though we were ra- ther too far off to observe details, several hits were noticeable as puffs of brownish dust against the Centur- ion's grey hull. The practice was fin- ally completed by 1145 am, when the Shikari brought her charge to a standstill, went alongside, and trans- shipped the crew, oft is always a ble what dam- age they may find 'on; their return, for though instruments, valuables, and clothes are in safe posi- tions behind armour before they leave the ship 'and firing starts, there is always the chance that cabins, liv- ing spaces, and mess decks may have been opened up to the four winds of heaven, - Last. year the Centurions cats used to remain on board during her battles and conceal themselves in the lower part of the ship out of harm's way. If these animals are still alive or have not deserted to some safer hope they have been through more engagements than any veteran. "It was to be regretted that we SEPT.

Statesmen Are Asking London, Sept, 24 -- If Austria were not a sort of mad-house where all signs fail, statesmen of the big powers allied in the late war and ofthe Little Entente would be sitting up of night won- dering just when an explosion would take place which might set all Europe by the ears once more. Austria is an unhappy little land where the country is opposed to the big city of Vienna, where the religious peasants hate the irrelig- fous city folk, where the reaction- ary Heimwehr are at daggers' points' with the Socialist Republi- can Defense Force. There are barrels of powder all over the lot, and, seemingly, all that is needed is a spark to set off the whole thing, resulting in a civil war within the land and pos- sibly eager intervention by sever- al very interested neighbor powers. Great Empire Divided It all started when the War was over and the settlements: were made, The once powerful, though conglomerate, Austro-Hungarian empire was carved all to pieces. Huge chunks were given to Ru- mania, Jugoslavia, Czechoslavakia, which now form the Little Entente to hold on to what they gained. Hungary was made a small coun- try, but Austria was made even smaller. It was whittled down to a nation of 6,500,000 people, about 2,000,000 of whom dwell in Vien- na ------ GASOLINE pl @ Astraight-run gasoline. . . econome ical... uniformly cleanand reliable! That was bad enough, but the neighboring stateg at once put up tariff walls and that made Vienna's situation worse than ever. Vienna has had a deperate time try- ing to live, Hence-the agitation for the "Anschluss" -- union to Ger- many, But even that is not all. Vienna is Red. Ever since the war it has had a Socialist government, kept in power because the Reds have refused to allow the rents to go up .and, furthermore, have built huge apartment houses for tne working classes, . Financiers Oppose Regime The bankers, the big business men, the industrialists of Vienna, all hate the regime and would like to overthrow it. Outside' of Vienna, with the ex- ception of a few Socialist indus- trial towns, Austria is all Whittle, The peasants hate Vienna as a parasite, They hate it also because they look upon the Reds as en- emies of their church. The Social- ists are devoted to the republic and have formed a Republican De- fense Force which is ready to fight for the republic if need be. The reactionaries have formed the Heimwehr which hates the repub- lic. This body is said to be liberally provided with smuggled rifles and' machine guns, There have been frequent arm- ed clashes between the Heimwehr and the Republican Defense Force, Two years ago, when the Heim- wehr killed some Socialists and the men accused of this. were acquit- ted by the courts, terrible riots took place in Vienna, which re- sulted in the Law Courts being burned by a Socialist mob of work- men, For the past few months there have heen other clashes in which men on both sides have been killed or injured. Uprising is Rumored Recently there have been rum- ors that this fall after the crops are harvested, the Heimwehr pro- pose to march on Vienna a Ja Mussolini's Fascisti. But the Heim- wehr are not united in their mo- tives, so nothing may come of it. Ignaz Seipel, the priest states- man who was Chancellor of the republic for some years and who rescued Austria from a tight fin- ancial hole, is an out-and-out sup- porter of the Heimwehr. But he is also friendly to the Hapsburg fam- | ily, and not averse to the retora- tion to the throne. There are others who would like to see some sort of union with Hungary. Still others dream of a Fascist regime. Then again, while the native Austrian Heimwehr leaders are mainly Catholics, there is a very strong infusion of Ger- man Protestant leaders who, hav- ing 'fafléd in putsches in their na- tive land, have run away from pos- sible arrest in Germany and heiped organize and drill the Heimwehr, The Heimwehr also is divided on the Jewish question, In the country, the leaders bitterly at- tack the Jews of Vienna. In Vien- na, where some of the great Jew- ish industrialists and bankers are friendly to the Heimwehr, the soft pedal is put on anti-Semitism. Says Vienna is Safe Herr Seitz, the brilliant Social- fst Burgomaster of Vienna, says the big city is preparéd to take care of itself against the threat- ened attacks, In the meantime, the govern- ment, headed by Chancellor Ernest Streeruwitz, is trying to steer a middle course between the two factions, The Chancellor expresses his confidence that he will be. able to handle the situation with 15, 000 police and gendarmes and his 18,000 soldiérs, But there is a big "If" 'in this, The army is believed to have lost its Socialist leanings and govern- ment may. wake up some fine morning. and find' that its soldiers had joined with the Heimwehr How often you find that while two pears look alike, they taste totally different.
