2 Years, But Europe Still Limps

PARIS. Sept. 1, (PTI-Reuter): The European Marshall Plan organisation today admitted that after two years o f American assistance to Europe “the dollar problem is not on the way to solution.”

The rate of progress of European recovery is not sufficient to achieve equilibrium by 1952, target year of the Marshall planners, an official report declared.

The seveh-pagp report, setting out proposed Marshall aid allocations for 1949-60. came from the two “wise men” ..of the. organisations governing council, Baron Charles Snoy, Belgian Chairman, and N^obert Majolin Sec­retary OeneraL Britain’s request for 1,512 million dollars was slashed by nearly -one third in- the allocations “bill” approved by the CouncU. Total European dollar demand of about 6,200 million was cut by 1,400 million dollars.

The organisation has proposed di­vision 6f the anticipated 3,778,600,000 dollars for 1949-60 as follows:

Austria: 174,100,000 dollars.Denmark: 91,000,000 dollEuraFrance 704,000,000 dollars.Greece: 163,600,000 dollars.Indonesia: 39.200.000 dollar&|

BUCHAREST, Sept. 1 (PTI-Reuter) —Tugoslavla has 600,000 more men under arms today than when the hMtte against Hitler’s invasion forces vsaicbed its climax the Cominform’s official organ said in a leading arti­cle today.

H ie Journal charged -that Marshal H to hSd transformed Yugoslavia into an armed camp and declared that “ it Is the terror by the military and the police which enabled him to ke'ep In ttie saddle."

The Government have decided that the ex-factory prices of Rs. 28/8 for D.24 quality and of Rs. 29/1/6 for D.27 quality and the corresponding* prices for other grades of sugar originally Qxed by the Syndicate in December 1948 will be declared as the statutory maximum prices under the Essential Supplies Act.

It has been decided to take over all stocks of sugar with the factories in the Dominion, whether sold or unsold, and in factories’ premises' or outside, at the ex-factory prices fixed as above.

Powers under the Essential Supplies Act are being delegated to the Pro­vincial Governments to take over stocks from dealers where and when necessary and distribute them at such prices as may be fixed and through such agencies as may be decided upon.

The Provincial Governments are also authorised under this Act to license sugar dealers If necessary.

Our Delhi Correspondent wires: The Government of India have also di­rected the Tariff Board to hold an enquiry into the working of the Sugar Syndicate.

STORM OVER NEWSPAPER TAX ENTRY IN ASSEMBLY

Ambedkar Opposes Point Of Order: President’s Ruling Deferred

NEW DELHI, Sept, 1. (PTD :f*^N a point of order raised by Mr. Oeshbandhu Gupta, President Raj-

endra Prasad told the Constitueut Assembly today that he would give a' ruling later on the question whether the amendment tabled by ever a KM) members to include, taxes on newspapers, including newspaper ad­vertisements, In the Central List as 'ultra vire^ or not.as

Mr. Desbbandhu Gupta, supported by Pandit Thakiu: Das Bhargava Mr. Naziruddin Ahmed and Mr. Jaeat Narain Lai. contended that this en­try was inconsistent with tbe funda­mental rights o f freedom of speech and expression adopted by the House earlier and hence could not be moved.

In support of this view, they quo­ted the Judgment of the United Sta­tes Supreme Court declaring a. 2 per cent licensing tax imposed by the State of Lousiana on newspapers in that State as unconstitutional on the ground that it was a deliberate and calculated device In the guise of «a tax to limit the circulation of infor­mation.

Dr. B. R. Ambedkar. Chairman ot the Drafting Ctommlttee “entirely denied” that the proposed entry was Inconsistent with fundamental risiits. He agreed that If a tax was of so severe a nature as to wipe out alto-' gether a newspaper, such exercise of taxation power would be *ultra vires’ because It would completely wipe -out freedom o f speech and expoessloii

guaranteed In the (Constitution. But in so far as the taxation imposed on advertisements was of a reasonable sort ana was not discriminatory, he could hot imdefstand how it -viola­ted fundamental rights.

He characterised as a “very dan­gerous” proposition the arguments advanced by Mr. Gupta and others.

Supporting Dr. Ambedkar. Mr. Alladi Krishnaswamy Ayyar. member of the Drafting Committee, said that if the propo.sltlon was subscribed to. the State could not function. Taxa­tion provisions, he said, should not be mixed up with provisions guaran­teeing Fundamental Rights.

Mr. Gupta Member from Delhi, asked for a ruling from the •. Presi­dent that any fresh provisions for imposing taxes oh newsoapers were Inconsistent with the Fundamental Rights already adopted by the House.

He rose on a point or orher when Mr. Ramnath G.oenka (Madras) was called upon by the President to

dement Attlee

«ources.

The'British Government has been kept informed of the progress of the Kashmir truce negotiations at all stages, and Mr. V. K. Krishna Menon. India’s High Com­missioner In Lon. don. called on Mr.Attlee on August 25.

It is understood that Mr. Menon ex­plained fully the stand -taken bY the In d ia n Govern­ment regarding the Commission’s proposals for a joint India and Pa- klstari meeting, on Kashmir.

According to in­formed political cir­cles here, the ap­peals made by Mr.Attlee and Presi­dent Truman arenot to be Interpreted as anyt±ilng more than a friendly gesture reflecting tbe anxiety which these two countries share to see sm amicable settlement of the Kashmir dispute. ^

With the British . Government, the sources said, the anxiety for finding a peaceful solution Is all the more be­cause of the fact that tbe disputant countries are both members ,of tbe Commonwealth.

It may be recalled recently there was a Foreign Office conference here at­tended by the British High Commis­sioners in New Delhi and Karachi as well as tbe British Ambassador in Wa­shington Sir Oliver Franks. It was suggested* at the time that the Con­ference discussed tbe Kashmir nro- blem.

NO MEDIATIONThe sources emphasised that there

can be no suggestion m this appeal of Britain offering any kind of mediation in tbe dispute. The official attitude of the British Government is said to be that the Kashmir question is a domes­tic dispute between India and Pakistan in which they (the- British Govern­ment are mo^ reluctant to do any-> thing but offer friendly advice.

The text of Mr. Attlee’s cable is not available, but it is learnt that it gene­rally follows President Truman’s ap­peal.

The substance of the latest proposal put forward by the Kashmir Ckimmis- sion is not known here. But one quar­ter here suggested that this might be a move to get tbe two countries to agree to neutral arbitration on such points of difference as have arisen 6ut of the earlier proposals of the Com­mission for implementThg tbe truce agreement.

Caution In Delhi On

Athitration(From Onr CorrespondeBt).

NEW DELHL Sept. 1.

Ne w DELHI has been discussing the letters from Mr. Truman onA

Mr. Attlee to Prime Minister Nehru urging early settlement of tbe Kash­mir dispute by accepting tbe latest nro- posals at the UH. Kashmir Oommis- sion.

It is believed that the Commlsslan's proposals mter alia seek the approval of both Indian , and Pakistan Oovem- ments with regard to tbe aopoint- ment of Admiral Nlmits to arbitrate on points dispute concerning the truce proposals.

As already reported, the Oovernment of India, It IS beUeved. are not inclined to accept tbe arbitrarUan move, firstly because India has bitter experience of

'aibltratlon twice arithin tbe last fifteen years, and secondly because the new proposals are beUeved to have been insDlred by Pakistan leaders who are anxious to get Admiral Nlmits over to India and who. according to reports current here, have accepted thla pro­posal In advance.

SITUATION CHANGED The Tniman-Attlee intervention has

considerably chsmged the situation, and competent observars beUeve that India would think before rejecting their ad­vice One way of looking at the inter« vention is that both Mr. Truman and Mr. Attlee would be prepared Indir­ectly to guarantee the implementation of tbe award by Pakistan if it' were to go against it.

CONSULTATIONS Government’s reaction to the latest

move is not expected to be known until after a week, by whlcb time the Prime Minister wiU have discussed the matter with Sardar Patel in Bombay (adds PTT). I t is learned a high official will be leaving for Bom­bay tomorrow to post Sardar Patel with the latest developments.

President Truman's letter to Pandit Nehni. it is believed, follows the Ame­rican State’Department’s views on tbe Kashmir question understood to have been communicated u> the Govern­ment of India a few weeks ago.

It is presumed that following tbe cancellation of the Indo-Pakistan-U J(. Commission conference to discuss a truce agreement, tbe Commission had submitted a report to tbe UH. head­quarters.

TOP SECRETOfficial circles here are maintaining

strictest reticence about their reactions to the personal note received yesterday by Pandit Nrirro. from President. Tru­man through Mr. Loy Henderson. Ame­rican Ambassador, reports UPL ■ It is understood that President Tru­man has made a specific request to Pandit Nriiru to treat the whole mat­ter as "Top Secret" and so the coo- tents of the note are known to none except Pandit Nehru and Sir Girja Shankar Bajpat

Pakistan Ministers To Discuss Formula

The meeting considered the latest position in the Provuioe which dtscloo- ed that during the last four months, ten textile mills bad completed closed down Involving about 34.000 worker^ and about 14 other mills bad reduced shifts affecting about 6.500 «oncers. In addition, it was disclosed that two more, mills were threatened with com­plete closure while ten others would ' have to cut down their shifts bv Octo­ber 1.

The Committee appreciated tbe faci­lities provided by tbe Government for free distribution of cloth and recom­mended that in view of this, the mills which bad given notices ot closure should be persuaded to clear off suffi­cient stocks so as to be able to with­draw their notices of closure. The mUlowners’ associations of Bombay and Ahmedabad were requested to assist towards this end and also to help re-openlng of the mills that bad closed down one or more, shifts.

BAJÁ BAilADU4''JañJLs The Committee sent for and heAril

tbe management of the Raja Bahadur Mills, Poona. Tbe Chairman pomted out that tbe Oovernment bad already taken steps to facilitate disposal of cloth stocks by permltilng free sales through normal trade channels and the mill had already been able to dis­pose of about 600 bales of cloth stocks during the last 10 days and would like­wise be able to dispoM of further stocks. Tbe mill already possessed sufficient cotton and the small addi­tional finance for continuing the run­ning of the mill could be arranged, it it explored the matter with financiers. The Committee advised that the mill should find no great difficulty In con­tinuing to run for at least another month and. during the IntervaL should realise sale proceeds and carry out further sales. The management undertook to explore the possibilities of re-opening the mill.

It was accordingly recommended that the present directors be asked to confer with experts and the Govern­ment in a meeting, with a view to arriving at such voluntary ' arrauge- ment. The Committee recommended like procedure tn respect of the Ka- lyan Mills of Ahmedabad.

The closure will throw out of em­ployment nearly 2.400 workers. About 1.600 workers have already been ren­dered idle when a textile mill in Ba­roda closed last month.

'The Nagpada police bagged the wanted man, as they were carrying out the usual comb-out for bad cha­racters prowling in the dark in their jurisdiction. About 1-30 a.m. a posse of policemen on night patrol saw half a dozen persons skulking in a half- lit by-lane at Nagpada. They pulled up their jeep and questioned the men. Not satisfied with their ans­wers, they took them along to the police station for a more thorough check-up.

It was in the course of their search­ing examination to establish the iden­tity of the suspected persons that rhev realised, much to their surorise, that one of them had eludsd them fp- tHrpo vears.

He was Inaytulla Sadraddin. alleg­ed to be Involved in the murder of Shaflque Ahmed Vllayat Hussein,who was stabbed by four unknownpersons on August 9. 1946. It was in this same connection that the Nagpada poUce arrested HabibuUa Sadruddin. at his hideout in Mazagoan in a sur­prise swocp at midnight on August 19.

’The incident in connection with which the.se two men were wanted— along with two others who are still at large—occupied near the Mexandra Cinema Bellasis Road. About 9-30 p.m. on August 9. 1946 when VUlayat Hussein, a 20-year-old resident of Madanpura was standing in a cinema queue, four men rushed from behind and scuffled for a olace at the head of the queue. As VUlayat Hussein re­fused to yield gorund, an altercation followed which ended In a scuffle. One of the four men who wanted to head off the queue pulled out a knife from his pocket and plunged It deep in VUlayat Hussein’s stomach, who dropped down bleeding.

The assailant and his accomplice took to their heels. The injured man was removed to hospital but did not survive.

The two men, now arrested. It is alleged by the police, were of the party of four who caused VUlayat’s death.

KING’S BID FOR LOST THRONE

ABonnie Prince Charlie*’ At The New Empire

live ly Doris Day with funster Jack Carson In the gala Technicolour fllmusical, “My Dream Is Yours”, w hich opens at the Regal next Friday.

“MY DREAM IS YOURS”Holiday Attraction At Regal

"My Dream Is Yours”, the Warner Bros, musical hit, scheduled to be shown at the "Reitar' from Friday. September 2, promises to be the right kind of holiday fare who are looking for an entertaining evening on a Ne* Year’s Day.

Jack Carson, a ladio talent agent discovers a new singing star in Doris Day for his Hour of Enchantment. The programme is threatened when the star. Lee Bowman, refuses to sign a ifew contract. Doris auditions for the spon­sor, S. Z. Sakall, and he likes her, but does not sign her up. She struggles along with small club dates until her little boy, played by Duncan Richard­son rejoins her. Her happiness is now

reflected In her singing style. When ' Lee is unable to broadcast at the studio one night, Sakall breaks his contract and to sub for him gets Doris. Now she clicks solidly. Bow­man continues on the downhill and Carson, for old times sake has him sing impromptu at the Cocoanut Grove before some high radio executives. But Lee’s voice has faded and Doris Jumps to his assistance and vocalizes with him during the chorus. When after­wards he snubs her, Doris knows that he is not her man, that it was Carson all along.

Filmed in technicolour, this musical reaches new heights in entertainment.

In the film “Bonnie Prince Charlie' directed by Anthony Kimmins, the ex- ' citing story of the Rising of 1745 is told David Niven plays the part of the Prince, with Margaret Leighton co- ' starring a.s Flora MacDonald. The

, Prince arrived on the coast of Scotland i I with one ship and only his seven truatv followers to support him, to regain

, the throne for the House of Stua^, :, deposed fifty years before. The M- I tu’cnces in which the Prince summon.'I the Highland Clans are the most en- I thralling in the nim. They were ac- , tually photographed m Technicolor on the very sites where the historic events took place. ,

At the time Prince Charlie landed | the Highlands were still thickly ix)- I pulated. The Prince sent a message by the shepherd Donald to the Chiefs he knew to be royal. To the sound of the warlike bagpipes, the Clans mar­ched to Olenflnnan to meet the Prince. For these sequences Anthony Kimmins had the services of actual Highland regiments, dressed in full re­galia. The grandeur of such a spec- I tacle can be imagined, against the set­ting of heather-clad slopes and rushing i Highland torrents, the bright tartans of the clansmen making a brave show. I

When the Clans were all assembled, . the Royal Standard was raised and i the Prince made a speech to the army Historically, this speech is most slgni- 1 flcant, as many of the Chieftains were I doubtful about joining such a seemingly : foolish enterprise. But Prince Charles i was a young man of great charm and i daring and. by the time he had finish- j pd speaking the great gathering were j cheering him to the echo. Obviously, the occasion demands a most accom- ! plished actor, one who has charm of I terdav personality and the right physical make-up for the “bonnie prince.” David Niven is superb in this scene.

*‘Mr. Belvedere Goes T o , Town'^

Ml'. Belvedere, as expected, stays on for another week to entertain at the Strand. It is perhaps the most scream­ingly funny thing that has happened on the screen in years and years, even more hilarious than “Sitting Pretty.” Yen will like Belvedere who goes to college for the express purpose of ob­taining a sheepskin in a single year in order to qualify for a 10,000 dollar award won by his novel, and naturally enough, takes over the Institution in a matter of hours.

Mr. Ayyangar said it was regrettable that the deep implications of the Wa- sliington talks were not being suffici­ently appreciated in the country.

World dollar crisis, depreciation of sterling and other Europiean currencies price policy regarding dollar earning commodities like cocoa, tin and rubber, large scale American investment m sterling area countries, future price of gold and currency union between the United States and United Kingdom were some of the subjects likely to come up for discussion at the talks. All these were of supreme Importance to India and decision on any one of them would affect India's “already delicate nomy”.

South Africa demanded a higher price for gold In terms of dollari, so as to make up her deficit, and U this was agreed to. what would be ths effect on prices in India?”

lU stars are Frank Sinatra, Esther Williams and Gene Kelly, with Betty Garrett, Edward Arnold and Jules Mushnin (the comic waiter of “Easter Parade”) in supporting leads. They guarantee that “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” 'Will have song, romance and laughter In a big way.

The fun revolves around two mem- j bers of a base ball team whose o'wner j unexpectedly arrives In Florida to su- i pervlse Spring training. Shortstop i Kelly, First Baseman Mushnin and Second Baseman Sinatra, who form the outstanding infield combination are all prepared to put the owner In his place but they hadn’t reckoned on its being a girl. It's Esther Williams, of course, and she proves not only curvaceous but able to put over a mean curve on the diamond. When Esther starts laying down the law about training rules, etc. Kelly tries to win her over with sorne smooth hoofing and some even smoother romancing. Meanwhile, it's bashful Sinatra who finds himself hopelessly head-over-heels In love, with the team’s beguiling owner.

TIaC complications are eventually ironed out to the accompaniment of explosive laughs and a hit parade of songs, with Kelly and Miss Williams discovering they are made for each 1 other and with Sinatra snared by

' Betty Garrett. (Incidentally, girls here’s a tip on how to get your man. ;

I Merely sling him over your shoulder i i and head for the nearest preacher.! That’s what Miss Garrett does!)

I “ All of the starts participate in the ' film's melody interludes, which feature i a wide variety of songs, among them “Take Me Out to the Ball Game”, "Yes, Indeedy”, “O’Brien to Ryan to Gold­berg”. “The Right Girl for Me”, “ It ’s Fate. Baby, It ’s Fate,” "The Hat My Father Wore Upon St. Patrick’s Day” and "Strictly U.S.A.”

Busby Berkeley directs the picture.

while Arthur Freed again contributes the production touches. As delightful fun-packed entertainment, "Take Me Out to the Ball Game” is definitely in the Big League class.

Mr. Ayyangar felt that Indian repre­sentatives. during the London Common­wealth sterling talks, should have taken the opportunity and discussed with United States and Canadian. Fin­ance Ministers measures for securing American aid for closing India’s gap In foreign exchange.

C.S. HUSH-HUSH POLICYMr. Ayyangar said. “When the Issues

j involved affect the whole globe, the I proper course for the United States and I United Kingdom would ba've been to caU a conference of all dollar difficult

I countries and evolve a scheme for a ra- I tionlng of American old equitably ac- cording to their respective needa

; “The present hush-hush policy does little credit to America which took the

! lead in initiating the United Nations and which desires to readjust the eco­nomic relations of the world so as to avoid a conflict”, Mr. Ayyangar dec- torecL

“The United States has already by­passed the United Nations In the eco­nomic field by giving Marshall aid to her defence aid programme and her loans to Britain are other instances of this policy. It is also weU-known that the elaborately drawn up economic re­habilitation plan for Asia and the Far East cost over 7 billion dollars has been turned down by America”.

“This is not the way. for a country like the United States wffiich wants to take the lead among world powers, to win the confidence of under-develop­ed countries, Mr. Ayyangar warned.

Stressing the need for India's repre­sentation at the Washington talks, Mr. Ayyangar asked: "Is it not too much to expect Britain to negotiate with the United States on our behalf for 150 million dollars, which Is our de­ficit today, as against her own 500 mil-

Elphlntonians today improved, dieir position when in the semi-finals of women’s singles, their all player Miss Sindhu Phansalkar beat Xavierite Babette Saldhana in straight games, while they derived a negative advan­tage from the other semi-final in which Miss Ti^uni Vakeel accounted ior Ruiaite Miss Sumitra Nigudkar in A match of fluctuating fortimes.

^ s s Tehmi Vakeel started in a very brilliant manner and before her op­ponent could realise what was hap­pening she ran away .with the first game at U-3.

Deep, high services and accurate lobbing on her opponent’s backhand gave Xaveriete many iiomts and it was due to this consistent deep attack that Miss Nigudkar could not brihg her match winning stroke a beautiful cross court smash into play.

Miss Nigudkar however fought back brilliantly and using a cross court smash to advantage sne forced the pace to such an extent that Xavierite thought it wise to drop the set and reserve herself for the decider.

In the decider they went level till five, but Xavierite profited by errors Of judgment on part of Miss Nigudkar and led 7-5. Miss Nigudkar, was now plaj-ing under pressure and in trying to play safe, she sent down some weak lobs of which the Xavferite took

Blphlnstonlans however failed to take advantage of this victory, when their ‘A ’ pair Sindhu Phansalkar and Mini Kanga lost to Xavlerltes Tehmi \akeel and Babette Saldhana in the final Of the women’s doubles. There are two factors that contributed to the success of Xavlerltes, one Is that Miss Sindhu Phansalkar has gone down since last year and the other is that Miss Tehmi Vakeel has improved far beyond conception.

This evening she was In brilliant form and her backhand drives were treat to watch. S ie controlled the rallies as she liked and often caught Miss Phansalkar on deep hn irhanH by Ijeautiful drives. Miss Phansalkar Is vulnerable on deep backhand as she has no other stroke except a diop on the net.

Giving a sound display in both at­tack as well as defence, Colva Sports Club entered the final of the Corta­lim Cup at the expense of Chlnohinim Sports dub at the Braboume Sta­dium on Thursday evening.

Owing to almost slippery conditions of the ground, Chinchinlm who al­most played bare footed failed en­tirely against a- Colva booted team and this made all the difference In the game. Before the match, a two minute silence was observed in me­mory of Albert Rebello, who assisted Chinchinlm for several seasons and passed away on the 26th August after an attack of typhoid fever.

Colva displayed ' good form and played with complete imderstanding particularly their centre half Gon­salves, who by judicious distribution of the ball, kept the Colva attack going. Taking the lead through M. D’Souza in the fourteenth minute of the first half, Colva further consoli­dated their position a little before the Interval when J.

Rashid’s X i had a scoring chance when the outside right sent across a fine centre but both Ledlie and Shinde missed. Soon Dass tried a shot from close in but Thingalaya saved very confidently.

In the tenth minute Balan scored Tatas seventh goal when being well placed he took a wed timed left shot which beat Aricknathan who made no attempt to save.

Hussain Rashid’s XT’s left back was warned by referee Natarajan for un- gentlemanly behaviour and dangerous play.

ECONOMY SCHEMESThe report regarding plans for

cutting down expenses and effect­ing economies which are believed to be under contemplation by the Gov­ernment o f India, does not make very coherent reading. And in the context o f what has been, going; on. It would be very surprising I f very much is accomplished by the iiroposals. The three things that catch one’s notice are Com­pulsory Saving, Provision to at­tract underground money, and penalising those provincial admi­nistrations which have not kept to the over-all economic policy o f the Centre. So fa r as the com­pulsory saving plan is concerned, a fter the confusion on the last e ffort to pay bonus in national certificates which was whittled down to near-withdrawal, i t is rather optimistic to talk o f any general e ffort to enforce saving In current earnings. Before any active step is taken to put the plan Into force, it would be well I f a ll practical d ifficu l­ties are taken Into account. I t is always fa ta l when after much ‘ boosting something is put Into e ffect that proves completely futile. The scheme to attract “underground money” is equally strange. We are virtually told that the efforts o f the Tax Evasion In ­quiry Committee have proved feeble and that, in place o f the investigation there is to be a\ kind o f “ amnesty” fo r Incomes earned in a certain period on which tax has not been paid, “ In return f o r . the payment o f money to the State to be

fixed on an ad hoc basis” . I f the rigours o f the law and a process o f Inquisition as It were have not succeeded in raking up the underground money, we are sceptical what an amnesty can achieve. I f the move Is one of respectfully withdrawing from the adventure o f investigation which has caused more Ill-feeling In the commercial world than the effort was worth, then nothing need be said. But then, why raise expectations by putting up some other plan? Would it not be better to drop the first attempt w ith a frank avowal that it has failed? As fo r the proposed coercion o f the provinces, we have heard this so often that it ceases to interest people. So fa r as can be seen, there Is little chance of the Centre applying any process other than persuasion and the provinces are not amenable to this. The power o f the Centre should have been definitely as­serted before ^he provinces laun­ched on their programmes. On a matter like the abolition o f the zamindari, fo r Instance, Pandit Jawaharlal has publicly declared his sympathy fo r the move though reports persist that the Centre has recommended a go-slow policy. A t best th is can be but a half-hearted directive. W hat Is more to the point Is the proposal to effect drastic cuts In adminis­trative expenses. This Is possible, likely and necessary. A ll the rest is a fantasy which w ill only con­fuse ‘matters further.

Nerve WarfareMr. Dean Aeheson, the U. 6.

Secretary o f State, says the rer ported Russian troop movements along the Yugoslav border seem accompanied by calculated pub­licity as part o f the war o f nerves In the Balkans. This Is not an Incorrect Interpretation o f the situation. The Stalln-Tito conflict Is basically a war o f nerves. I t Is Intended to be that by those who started It, the object being to bring T ito to his knees or to se­cure the collapse o f his regime without firing a shot. A barrage o f radio and press propaganda accompanied by efforts to incite Internal troubles did not, how­ever. succeed. I t only brought a response In the shape o f propa­ganda f o r . propaganda blow. T h e , offensive did, how­ever, succeed In Increasing the anxieties o f 'Marshal T ito and, by an organised Cominform boy­cott.

by the Cominform.The nerve war against Yugos'

lavia has, therefore, been intensi­fied and moved to another stage, the stage o f m ilitary demonstra­tion. And according to one esti­mate. apart from whatever the satellites may be doing, the Soviet union itself Is sending no fewer than five armoured divisions to the Yugoslav border. Yugo­slavia Is also answering back' on a Yugoslavian scale, that Is, with a demonstration, fo r Instance by' Marshal T ito ’s elite guard o f 300,000 men. Now all this Is being done In the fu ll glare o f publicity. It. therefore, means that the So­viet Union does not, as It should not and would not, plan to go beyond a war o f nerves.

Scientific Terms’In a press interview. Dr. A. E.

American scientist, who recen tly served on. the Indian Universities Commission. warns us against translating interna-

scientific terms m to Indian languages. Firstly, he jo in ts out that it w ill be a waste­fu l process to develop Indian

the.se scientific which number over two

millions. Secondly, by delibera­tely turning our back on the uni­versally accepted termlnologv we shall be unable to benefit from the scientific Advancement o f other countries. He adds that International scientific terms know no national boundaries and In the field o f science, pro­gress defin itely lies in addins to thp stock o f common words.

The warning is timely because since the fa ll o f English from grace we have been lia s t lly . laun­ching many linguistic ventures, which we are sure to regret at leisure. Etymologists — genuine and quacks—^have been rubbing their palms w ith pleasure at the prospect o f being engaged In the endless work o f translating Into a ll Indian languages classics o f art. literature and soiepeg. Theirs Would be the Job to distil all this knowledge fo r Indian consumr«- tlon, _ whether it is going to be more' palatable is another oues- tlon. TOie vociferous among them are already boasting about their glgantie task in translating «11 the scientific terms into Hindi and Hindustani. They have been flaunting into the' face o f the be­w ildered common man, archaic, frigh ten ing and clumsy words,

pronouncing learnedly on. theirroots. In their

commonly accepted^ r d s like station, englrie, ticket ®^^oiihtain-pen are being wined

place unfamlUar, even laughable, words are ibelna

shudders to think students When one

reads the equivalents offered by toat Irrepressible enthusiast Dr Raghu Vira or by fanatic lan­guage purifiers like Mr. V. D. Sav- arkar, who has been at it fo r some years.

Which we have already assimila­ted. Sometimes this zeal fo r rep-

terminology leads to making the subject more d lf- flciHt. As an example, one may

Neither Is the teacher able to explain these terms satisfactorily nor the student to grasp the ideas behind them.

By inventing oui' own scientific terminology, we shall be Isolating ourself in a mental process, which will be a dosed hook to the rest o f the world. There is already enough confusion o f languages in India. I t w ill be unwise to add to It bv coining millions o f more terms w h id i w ill not be under­stood. Fa.sHv understood . and '‘ommnnlcahie language helps in the growth o f literature and ‘science. A language grows richer hv assimilating more and more foreign words, not by 'banishing them.

HOSTILE FACTORS What are the reasons advanced

soil;3. Small size holdings.4. Heavy Indebtedness and lack of

present times.DRAIN OF WEALTH

Besides Industrial inefficiency, there is the constant drain of wealth from India. Commercial and Industrial ad­vantages o f unfair competition and monopolistic control have been obo tained by Britain by keeping India s Gold reserves in Ekigland. A high rate of interest is paid for her foreign loan and of Government Stock In British market. They are nothing short of Slave charges in spite of our mdepend- ence.

At the same time our population is growing by leaps and bounds so that by international standards when a person needs for a decent living no less than 2.5 acres oar density in India is 68 per square kilometer. Though 4/5ths of our population

are directly or indirectly eng^aged In agriculture, especially in the produc­tion of food-crops, the food production in India falls short by over l/3rd ex­clusive o f food-stuffS exported as part payment for foreign investment.

UNCUL'nVATED LAND Forty-seven per cent of the available

land still remains uncultivated. Seven

per cent only is used for more than one cropping. Forty-six per cent avail­able land now used for one crop may be made to produce two or more crops. Supposing the total available land on an average can produce two crops a year, S/4ths o f the potential available area are being wasted.

In the matter o f Forests 3/4ths of these resources are being wasted.

UNTAPPED RESOURCES Four thousand five hundred miles of

coast lines are not being tapped for fishing purposes. We have three crores o f horse-power of water re­sources and three Aba] tons o f Iron ore deposits annually left unused.

Add to this all our great man-i>ower which is lying tmused due to habitual unemplosrment, and what a huge colos­sus of annual drain may be raised be­fore our living eyes.”

When the next elections come short­ly the present Government members and their peurtisans will have to give an account of themselves to justify their pretensions in the service of the people.

POSITIVE ACTION REQUIRED It has all along been a stage of

Bcliemes and plans but a country can Judge of the value of Its men at the helm from translation of these schemes into action o f a positive character.

In a oountrylike ours where the Re­volution which was begun has not ended to reveal a paragraph o f pesMe tis yet, the government needs unflinch­ing dynamism. The present Govern­ment has It not. much to the discre­dit of our statesmanship.

NEARER TO THE PEOPLE Is It due to our inelBcien<7 or in­

adaptability to tbe new conditi<ms of the Freedom we .have gained. There was zest la the life o f our struggle; there is today the Ul-health of ease, nepotism, and over4ccamalation of prohts in the hands of the few that know opportunism to be their best game In life. Our State in the build­ing has lost the social touch; until It follows the trail of service to the real producer it is bonnd to fa ll in the resultant chaos that is fast mk preventibly approaching.

bitions follow. We had Indian art exhibitions in London, Paris and Kabul. An Indian Cultural exhlblUon was opened at Leningrad Musetim yes­terday and another is in the offing for Berlin. London considered our art abstract, obscure and . spiritual though eminent art critics paid eloqu­ent tributes to the sculptural excel­lence of Buddha and the grace of lines Of the Dancing Shiva. Even the sex appeal of *Yakshini* failed to at­tract big crowds. I t 'is td be hoped that the Indian exhibition at Lenin­grad w ill fare better, because Russia With her Asiatic life-line a,nd the proximity of her Asian Repumllcs to India w ill be able to understand and appreciate the Indian way of life as embodied and typified in the ex­hibits. In times o f foreign exchange stringency, Indian enthusiasts advo­cate export Of Indian art to UJ3. to earn precious douar currency. The rouble may not find favour With them.

Is the tendency to cry wolf every time the smallest restriction Is placed by authority a sign of frustration? The attitude or the students who have fallen foul of the air-port authorities for quarantining them, sho'ws that very little Is needed to provoke criti- cl.sm. The air-port authorities were strictly within their rights when they decided to take a simple precaution to prevent the possible introduction of a dreaded disease - into India. What prevented the occupants of the plane from conforming to regulations which were well known? The that a clearance certificate was given by London, does not mean that India should do it automatically. That tho Students were allowed to go away as soon as the authorities were convinced that there was no danger of infection shows that there was no vindictive­ness behind their action. Men at the air-port have to do a thankless job some times. The other day the Minister of a' Provincial Government was reported to have been very much anneyed when the customs officials Insisted on his pajdng the lawful duty on an article which he bad brought with him. Sir c . P. Ramaswamy Iyer, it was also reported, was once detained at an air-port for a day be­cause he did not have a particular certificate. I f at all, these instances show that those who are In charge

affairs at the air-port are perform­

ing their duties regardless of th eftA clicad C u ra N a a d a d personalities Involved—a fact whichshould win them approbation Instead Of condemnation.

Q u ic k P a n a lty

The suggestion reported to have been made by the Bombay Mayor, Mr. S. K . Patil, in his address at 6t. Xavier’s College w ill i.-eceivo enthu­siastic support. The Mayor fa v o u ^ ,$ome amount of compulsion in curing people o f the habit of spitting and throwing litter in the streets. This surely is an understatement. It will need a lot of compulsion and this is the one field in which compulsion w ill not evoke any serious opposition.However ardent an individual­ist a man might be. be is not likely to stand up and assert "his right to spit”. A t least. we hope we are at least that civiUsed. What is particularly appealing In Mr. Paul’s suggestton is his anxiety to arrange for swift acUon in appre­hending the offender. It is no use sending Uie spitter a <mrd ofliolally informing him that on such and such a day, some six weeks earlier, he bad been seen at 7 p.m. at the Royal Opera House spitting in contravenUon ot this or that act and It was pro­p ose to take action against him. Probably by the time the majesty of the law fully reveals Itself, the man w ill be left with a dry tongua Mr. Patil rightly proposes convincing of­fenders “on the spot”. There is an interesting story about the English­man in 'Vienna whd as be descended from a bus threw his crumpled Ucket on the road, only to find himself facing a policeman who pointed out his offence, collected the schilling and handed him a receipt for the fine. The outraged Englishman looked at the receipt, mumbled something imder his breath and, crumpling tbe paper up, threw It down. The second o f­fence brought on a .heavier fine—and this time the receipt was NOT thrown away. Idr. Patil did not, according to the report, mention another thing which w ill have great curative e ffect- greater even than the fine Itself: That is, the insistence on getting the offender to correct his fatilt. Wncre it is onhr litter, the clearing will be easy—wc take It that bins and tins for waste w ill be liberally and profusely provided all over—It is only picking up the paper or rubbish and disposing It Off “lawfully”. The difficulty e f re­storing the status quo in more obnoxi­ous infringements should not deter authoritv from seeing that it is done. This is what we mean by saying that there must be great comoulsion— compulsion which will make indul­gence and the consequence swiftly following more unpleasant than

Tbe results ■ o f the District Board elections now going on in tbe Madras province have to be studied (htrefully, as they form a barometer for the general elections to come. Congress candidates have beat returned un­opposed in many crmstituoicies and have wem decisive victories in Tanjors and Coimbatore districts. Prom tbe look o f things. It is apparent that they will sweep the boards in most of the districts. But In TTrutffil, the nerve centre of TamU Nad, there was heavy landslide against the Congress, wh1“h was able to secure only 22 out of B2 seats. Though a minor set-back against the background of heavy seot Ing elsewhere, the ’Tamil Nad Congress authorities must take this defeat seri­ously and probe into the causes that conspired to bring it. The president Of the TIruchl District Congress Com­mittee who as tbe Ckmgrees nominee lost to an Independent rival In the elections, has since resigned the Pre­sidentship, as an expiation for the Congress defeat. In his prologue to this “Hart Karl” , he adumteates a strange theory that “ the present de­feat for the Congress Is my defeat and not thst o f the Congress”. In the present context, his lament is a dis­tinction without difference.

Friday SeptemBer 2, 1949STORM OVER NEWSPAPER TAX

ENTRY IN ASSEMBLY(Continaed from page 1)

move an amendment tabled by ove. 100 members to place taxes on news­papers including advertisements pub­lished therein, in the Union List.

Mr< Ooenka had Just started reading the amendment when Mr. Gupta said “the amendment which Mr. Ooenka proposes to move offends against the Fundamental Right In 13 (A) (Freedom of Speech and Fxpresslon>.

Dr. Ambedkar, also rising on a point of order pointed out that Mr. Gupta was a signatory to Mr. Go- enka's Amendment.

Mr. Gupta: “I have every right to change my opinion when Dr. Ambed­kar has been changing his opinion very often In this House” Odr. Na- druddln Ahmed: Hear. hear).

Replying to, Mr. Mahavir Tsmgl, the President said. “You cannot pre­vent him (Mr. Gupta) from raisins

.a point of order."Proceeding, Mr. Gupta drew the

attention of the President to the Judgment of the V. S. Supreme Court which said: “ It is a bad tax because in the> Ught of its history and of its present setting, it is seen to be a deliberate and calcula­ted device in the guise of a tax to limit the circulation of informa­tion to which the public is entitled In virtue of the constitutional guarantees. A fee Press stands as one Of the great . interpreters between the Government and the people. To allow it to be fettered is to fetter ourselves. “Mr. Gupta, therefore, suggested

that the matter be held over and referred back to the Drafting Com­mittee, “ I do not want to obstruct the proceedings of the House”, he said, “ I only wish to urge that the Press* being the Fourth Estate, this Is a very vital question and, there­fore, nothing would be lost If the the Drafting Committee is asked to re-examine the whole question from this point of view.”

Pandit Thakurdas Bhargava (East Punjab), Mr. Jagat Naraln Lai (Bihar) and Mr. Naziruddin Ahmed supported Mr. Gupta’s point of or­der while Mr. R. K. Sldhva opposed i t

AMBEDKAR’S REPLYDr. Ambedkar, In reply to the

point of order said that the point raised appeared to him to the effect that as this Assembly had already passed Article 13 which was part of Fundamental Rights, was it open to the Assembly to pass an article Which would curtail the Fondames- tal Rights given by Article 13? In support of the proposition Mr. Gupta dted a Judgement of the Supreme Court of the United States.

Apart from the levy of tax. the aeverlty of It would be. In his Judg­ment, an element for considering whether the tax was ‘ultra vires’ or not. There was no reference In the Judgment to these important facts. He was, therefore, not prepared to ko by that Judgment.

Proceeding, Dr. Ambedkar said that notwithstanding the constitutional guarantees which the Constitution of the United States had given to the people, the united States ’ supreme court itself had held that these Fun­damental lUghts guaranteed by the Constitution, however fundamental they might be, were not absolute and that the Congress of the Uidted States had. notwithstanding the lai^fuage used in the Constitution, the right to put reasonable restrictions on those Fundamental Rights.

’The House had perfect liberty to decide the question. I t depended upon the confldence it had in the Cen­tre or the provinces. He would, how­ever, repudiate any suggestion that the House had its hands tied down by reasons of Article 13 and that it

-ould not do anything in regard to ; he imposing x>t any tax on adverttse- hent.

It seemed to him that those who were Interested in the newspapers were now trying to get a complete im- inunlty from any kind of taxes that might be levied by the provinces. Mr Goenka wanted that the entry should be transferred to the Central List. OOENKA HAS DONE THE WORST

In doing that. Dr. Aunbedkar said. Mr. Goenka had done something which the Drafting Committee Itself had not done. its newspaper entry was not connected with Taxation. It was mentioned in the first part of the entries, namely. Legislative. Mr. Ooenka had done the worst as be had placed the newspapers in that part Of the list which dealt with Taxation. It would be open now for the Centre to levy a tax on newspapers.

“I do not like newspaiiers**, re­marked Dr. Ambedkar and added “I do not like to injure them or protect them, I would like to point out what would happen to them if the entry is allowed like that”.I f the entry was transferred to the

Central List, then the Centre could levy a tax on newspapers as manufac­ture. I t was entitled to levy excise duty. It would be difficult for the hewspapers to escape taxes. AH these things had to be taken into con­sideration.

There was no bar to the House con­sidering any kind of limitation, not­withstanding that it had passed Arti­cle 13. "The proposition which sought to debar the House was a “very-dan­gerous one."’ It would eliminate the Central power of taxation. Article 24 (Compulsory Acquisition of Property) could not be there In the constitution Many other complications would arise if they merely held that because fun­damental Tights were guaranteed, taxation power could not, therefore, be exercised that would result in limitation on those rights. It was too large a proposition and it should not be accepted.

Mr. Alladi Krlshnaswaml Ayyar en­dorsing the views of Dr. Ambedkar said that it was the “most dangerous doctrine” to Interpret Article 13 to the effect that none of the subjects refer­red to were to be subjected to any kind of taxation.

POSER FOR AMBEDKAR Mr. Deshbandhu GuErta rose from

his seat to reply to the debate on his point of order, but the President rul­ed that there was no right to reply He said: “I have understood the point and I have to consider it. will give my ruling later. i would ask I>r. Ambedkar to consider the other point. i f i rule that the am­endment is in order, I would expect him to be ready to answer on the merit of the case and also whether it is best to have it in the form in which it is moved by Mr. Ooenka” .

The House then proceeded to discuss other entries. \

NIM ITZ N O T PESSIMISTIC

Cairo Paper Eulogises Role Of GandhijiIn an editorial, "A1 Mlsri" (July

17) Of Cairo which has the largest circulation of any Arabic paper Ip tbe Middle East, says:

A movement is now In prt^rress in America for the collection of subs- criptioBs to commemorate Gandhi, while in London, a ball is reserved to prayers for the peace of Gandhi's soul.

The same spirit animates the Asian countries where societies are establish­ed- for the purpose, but no action Whatever was taken by F.gypt for commemoration of the grreat man who once gave his opinion on Baad Zagloul in the words. “The E^ptian people have adopted Saad’s wife for their mother, and it is Saad’s right to adopt for himself the title of the ■Father of the Egyptians’.”

Those who are well informed oi the secrets of Egyptian diplomacy recall that the relationship between India’s and Egypt’s national movements was close, and that letters and telegrams were frequently exchanged oetween Gandhi and Zagloul, and between Gandhi and Nehru on the one hand, and The^ Excellencies Nabas Pasha and Makram Fash on tbe ether.

'The close relationship between two movements was of considexable im­portance for both countries fougnt a ‘common foreign enemy’, namely British Imperialism, and a common in­ternal enemy, being the reactionaries and the fifth columnists who sup­ported imperialism. It was m view of this relationship that Gandhi was grieved at the death of Saad, as if he had been bis brother, or colleague, in national* -itruggle.

Several months have now elapsed since Gandhi’s death, but as a token of recognition by the civilised world of the great man’s spiritual message whlcn conquered a great empire, and the skill Of Its experienced states­men, through fasting and civil dis­obedience, America is now installing two memorials for QandhL

But 'Egypt, which is India’s sister In struggle for liberty and Indepen­dence, should have been the first to commemorate the great leader. un­fortunately gives no attention to such an act of courtesy towards taidia and has thus allowed Americans and other peoples to precede her in that field.

It will be recalled tha- fo- the last cotton season, Indt.a was alloteU 6,35,000 bales of cotton but it could not lift tbe entire quantity even though the export time limit was ex­tended twice. This was probably due to the prevalent high prices of cotton in Pokistap in comparison to those prevalent at the time in India.

For the next season accordingly. India ha been alloted a much reduced quotta in tbe first instance to compa­rison to that of the preceding season.

Witness said be had be.en one of-the four persons, the other three being Hassan All, Zamu- ruddin and Syed Abdul Munim Khan. The four of them went to the house of the President of ChanchalgiidH Majlis, one Mr. Ziauddin, before po­lice action. Witness was later ques­tioned by the police.

Cross-examined by defence counsel, witness said he had been arrested by the police and immediately after his arre.st, he made a statement to them. He was .released after being detained for one day.

The second witness of the dav Ba­shir All, was shown a ibullet, an empty cartridge and two live cartrid­ges exhibited in the court. Witness after examining therft said that he could not state definitely whether the bullet was a revolver or a pistol bul­let. It was of nine millimetre size and could be fired from a pistol or a revolver with a nine m.m. bore. The two cartridges, witness added, were live ones and could be fired from a nine m.m. pistol revolver.

The Chief City Magistrate then sent Kadlr Mo- hiuddin Aseer (approver) to his c-.»urt with a letter which stated that, for finding out all the facts in coimection with the murder o f Shoebullah Khan, it was necessary to tender pardon tO' Aseer. The letter also stated thatimportant ingredients of the case,such as criminal conspiracy etc., could not be found out, until pardon was tendered to Aseer. This letter, which had originated from the police, was first placed before the Chief City Magistrate, who ordered witness to deal with the pardon.

Witness said when Aseer had been brought to him. he explained to Aseer that if be disclosed all the facts of the case in a straight forward way, he would be given pardon and no le^ ponsibility would attach to him in the capacity of an accused person and that he would be made a witness In the case. Aseer stated in reply that he was prepared to disclose all the facts and accepted the pardon. Wit­ness took the signature of Aseer to the question and answer (offering him pardon on disclosing the facts). Thereafter, witness recorded the statement of Aseer which went on for three to four hours. The statement was then read over to him and wit­ness attached a certificate to the statement saying that Aseer had heard the report read over to him and had admitted its correctness.

CROSS-EXAMINATION Cross-examined by defence counsel,

witness said that at the time of re­cording Aseer’s statement, the prose­cuting inspector was there. Witnei>s started recording the statement about 20 to 30 minutes after Aseer was pro­duced before him.
