American Attack On Post-War
British Trade Designs
(From Our Corresponden O
LONDON. July 15
In a letter to Sir George Nelson,
President, Federation of British In¬
dustries, the American National For¬
eign Trade Council makes a trench¬
ant criticism of Britain's post-war
trade plans
The Council has released the text of
*t§ tetter to Sir G. Nelson which in¬
dicates that then. 1 is a wide gulf
growing between British and Ameri¬
can business interests which 1$ caus¬
ing concern in official circles in Wa¬
shington The letter takes up the
issue with the Federation of British
industries on its report of interna¬
tional trade policies declaring that
Britain was tending "towards nation¬
alistic trade poliev of the Type she
pursued betore this war Ir is gene¬
rally agreed here OJnited States )
that conflict between British and
American business thought is accen¬
tuated by this tenon The minimum
requirements of the Federation reoort
are planned economy f6r control of
prices imports and exports within
a quota svstem which rejects
the kLm of United States for
reciprocal trad*\ agreements In
the short federation report is
considered a hichiv national¬
istic document—carefully developed
argument for making it possible for
Britain to have her normal amount
of business even without the financial
background to handle it as she had
ill the past The reports basic con¬
ception is that Britain should have
*n Increase of fifty per cent in ex¬
perts and the suggestion tha f Ame¬
rica should reduce her exports/
The National Foreign Trade Coun¬
cil which represents the vast bulk of
American exporters, advocates as
counter-proposal the rescript ion of
world hradc on the basis of free en¬
terprise and free ani unfettered ex¬
change of goods be+u'een nations
Without Government interference
Referring to the proposal to estab¬
lish sterling areas f he Council's let¬
ter declares that "this is opposed to

except M Reynolds News", Sunday
papers refrain from commenting oh
Mahatma Gandhi's declarations.
Analysing Gandhij is offer Mr. H.
N, Brallsford In "Reynold's News"
points out that when Mahatma Gan¬
dhi makes up his mind to act. He
does it boldly. Mr. Brailsford be¬
lieves that to-day by a startling
change of front Mahatma Gandhi is
prepared to go back to the Cripns
offer and accept It. Considerations
of prestige have been brushed aside
Ite launrh^d his revolt and suffered
defeat. Few men in this too emo¬
tional world would be capab^ of a
change of front which is so realistic,
and rational.
It is hard to feel sure that Mr.
Jinn ah wants a settlement of any
kind So far he has declined to show
hir. hand In effect he has rejected
Mahatma Gendhi's offer It will be
deplorable and discreditable to British
staternnr'ihip If the matter docs end
here, Britain carmor go on ever using
the extremism of the Muslim League
as excuse for postponing Indian set¬
tlement.
Mr. BralLsford continues: "Mv own
firm belief is that if Mr. Amerv and
Ixtrd Wavell made it known that w? 1
wish to form * an Indian National
Government the Muslim League
cmffd not continue to obstruct. If
M r Ra jagopalachari cr any rmre suit¬
able person is entrusted wi*h the
formation of what should in fact be,
if not in nam^ a Cabinet, I am mo-
rallv sure that Mr. Jinnah couldn't
refuse to Join It. He can play his
wrecking game only because such a
Government is not visible, but in the
possibility of which India as believe.
But before the National Govern¬
ment can be formed there are at
least two preliminary steps which
outfht to be taken Since the revolt
is long since at an end, untried Con¬
gress prisoners ought to be released.
So soon as ff3 Working Committee
can m^et again, it ought to withdraw
the "Quit India" resolution, There
are ways of doing that without Insin¬
cerity or loss of dignity. The next
step is manifestly that Representa¬
tive Government should be restored
in the Congress provinces
The contrary policy is to govern in*
dia autocratically until the end of
the war, Then we may revive the
Cripps plan In some new form. We
could make no graver mistake than
this It is the way to destroy any
lingering belief that Indians still ro-
tam in our honesty of purpose. We
have at last the chance to put it

RELIEF FOR BRITISH
AUTHORS
tFrom Our London Correspondent)
Mr George Bernard Shaw has se¬
cured relief for the authors He had
ncentiv written to the "Times'’ com
plaining that authors were compelled
to pay income-tax on ihe whole am
ount receive^ in a single year trom
the sale of the copyright of their
works although the compilations
may have taken 3'ears to prepare
When Sir John announced the 1m
portanI tax concession to authors he
referred obliquely to "certain emi
fient writers/' Th? House, of course,
cried “Shaw? Shawl" in delight.
At present a writer might work in
poverty for years and then sudden! \
find one of his books successful. He
may get a bi£ cheque for royalties
and perhaps another for film rights,
bui the tax collector does not allow
him to treat these sums as the pro
ceeds of a sale of property, until
now such income from books was
reckoned as current earnings in one
year and the author had to pay in¬
come-tax and perhaps super tax at
the full rates as if he regularv re
ceived such an income, though he
might well Oe penniless again the
next year Now Sir John has de
eided to spread over three years
lump sums received for copvright
This will enable the author to receive
at least some return for tte- capital
investment he has made. Mr Shaw
told reporters that it was gratifying
to find his suggestion ma<te in the
•■Times” proved acceptable “O!
course " he added, ‘it is only a res¬
toration of what used to be a nor
maJ practice of averaging incomes
over three years But all the same it
is very pleasant ”

Indians Cut Vital Highway
NEW DELHI, July 17: It is now
announced that the cutting of Route
Five, the vital Italian highway, was
an accomplishment of the Eighth In¬
dian Division after a week of hard
lighting against an enemy determin¬
ed to hold out at all costs.
To get astride this Imoortant high¬
way the division was given the task
of seizing an area bounded bv the
town* of Arsoli. Rocca di Botte and
Riviano, The advance, a model of
its kind, was carried out by successive
brigadrs passing through one another
with all the support at the division's
command.
Accordingly one of the Indian In¬
fantry brigades started off with a
New Zealand armoured regiment in
support, arid Veroh was occupied by
a battalion of the 13th, Frontier
Force Rifles. Here another Indian
infanlry brigade passed through,
struck north ai^ captured Vico and
Collepardo, the latter falling to the
5th Roval Gurkha Rifles.
Now came the turn of a third In¬
dian Infantry Brigade, The fifth
Mahratta Light Infantry took Guar-
cino after a fierce fight in which the
enemy suffered many casualties and
left 40 prisoners In our hands The
same battalion followed up this sue*
ccsk by occupying three more town¬
ships two days later.
After another ’'leadfrog*' movement
of two brigades, Subiaco fell to the
Frontier Force Rifles, assisted by a
Canadian armoured regiment. The
"Pi Acts” infiltrated into the town
so quickly that the enemy were un¬
aware of their danger for some time.
Their survivors only just managed
to escape.
Further advances were now delayed
owing to demolitions and the blow¬
ing un of a bridge across a chasm on
ihe road leading to the town. Big
the divisional sappers got busy and
performed a magnificent feat of mili¬
tary engineering by opening up the
road two days after the capture of
Subiaco A few hours later the high¬
way had been cut and the assigned
area cleared of the enemy,—A P.

THE CITY OF THE ‘NINE GEMS’»
If JJAINL the capital of Avantfi
the hanks of the river
Shipra, was a city of romance
and learning- In this city of
legends and history* reigned
in glory Vikramaditya, 'the
King of Kings' with his court of
'Nava Ratna’or the ‘Nine Gems’.
Mahakavi Kalidasa, the most
resplendent of the ‘Nine Gems'
lived and composed most of
his world-famous works here at
UjjainL Hindu Astronomy
reached its peak under the
'Astronomer Royal 1
Barahaffiihira. and Ama rasing ha,
the lexicographer, compiled
his famous Amarakosha in this
immortal city. Here again* the
peerless Vasavadatta and the
incomparable Vasanlasena had
their days of splendour and
charm.
There is no recorded
evidence to show that there
was any well-organised
University'at Ujjaini on the lines
o£ Takshashila or Nalanda : but
it is highly probable that thei e
was an University of a very
high order, where so many
men of outstanding taleni had
gathered together* *
Unfortunately* however*
many of the classics produced
at Uijarai are lost to us to-day*

RAJAJPS PROPOSAL 0
We considered on Saturday
tome of the objections urged
against Gandhiji's proposals for
a settlement with Britain. We
shall consider tc-day the main
objections advarva against Ra
Jajl's propcsals for a settlen-ent
w:th the Muslim League. The
task is made appreciably easy by
Raiaji's own statement replying to
his critics. At the outset we must
state clearly how we understand
the proposals. We du not under¬
stand them to mean that the
separation of predominantly Mus¬
lim areas from Hindustan is nor¬
mally a good plan and is offered
to Mushms as such and that
these who offer it will ail support
separation before and at the time
cf the plebiscite. As a matter of
fact one of RajajLs proposals dis¬
tinctly says that it will be open
to all parties to advocate their
paints of view before \b? plebis¬
cite is held. We and many others
who support the proposals under¬
stand them to moan that, if after
free unfettered discussion of the
‘pios* and ‘eons* cf separation,
the Muslim a.eas declare for
tepatalien, they will not bo coerc¬
ed Into joimng the Indian Union
In other words, we commend
sjlf-determination as being better
than forced union. We note, with
many chhers. several disadvan¬
tages Ui separation and are free
to explain them whenever neces¬
sary. But we concede, as we
thiLk we must. t*v right cf large
•au-as to separate it tNv so de¬
fine. £ epilation Is an evil to be
avoided if possible. But if for
any reason it is found necessary
by the areas in question. it is bet¬
ter conceded as a lesser evil than
forced unity which Is no unity at
all We concede now the princi¬
ple of self-determination. If it
leads to voluntary union, it will
b? ?n ideal solut/cn, If tt leads
to Pakistan, we shall accept it as
better than ih^ alternative, civil
war, Rajaji himself admits that
^world tendencies arc towards in-
trg.anon rather than sub-d vi¬
sion, an*j the wisdom of uniting
Into big spates and larger units,
and thereby gaining strength.
Increasingly patent” Eut, he adds,
“these points should be put be¬
fore the peoplo to consider at the
plebiscite, This has been provid¬
ed for in the scheme. To put
them forward now as arguments
f :r denying the very right of relf-
dcterm'nation Is to perpetuate
distrust and. as a result. maintein
the Hindu-Muslim deadlock and
British domination over India/ 1
Many will agree with Rajaji
that "apart from ths Mahasabha's
uncompromising attitude, Gan¬
dhi] i*s acceptance cf his scheme
has b?en widely welcomed/' This
is not surprising, For as Rajaji
himself points out, "it is perfect¬
ly consistent whh the Congress
position as it has been repsat^dly
set out," The next question is
about the reaction to it of the
Muslims in general and the Mus¬
lim League in particular. Natu¬
rally enough, the proposals have
been hailed with delight by many
Muslims Including Muslim Leagu¬
ers, Indeed, many regret that
the proposals wen? not directly
placid before the League Working
Committee. Rajaji explains that
"without Mr. Jinnah's personal
support, piacmg it (the scheme)
before the League Working Com¬
mittee and disposing of it with¬
out reference to the public would
have been unfair to the public and
hardly done justice to the
scheme." Ngw that the proposals
have b?en befgre the public for
some time, they may well be con¬
sidered by the League Committee
and other bodies interested in the
subject. In this connection it is
extremely interesting to learn
from Raja Maheshwar Dayal that
RuiajPs proposals are substantial¬
ly similar to the specific demands
made by Mr. Jinnah himself in
the negotiations that the Maha-
sabha had initiated with the
l eague and other political bodies.
If so, it is certainly curious that
Hr, Jinnah did not accept Ra-
jaji’s proposals. However, we
shall soon know how the League
Committee under his lead will
deal with the proposals. L£t us
hope he and the League will re¬
cognise the wisdom of tg&ihg the
tide at the flood*

I claim that there is nothing in this
c la use of t he r esolut ion that is f ' ex¬
travagant" or impracticable. The con¬
cluding sentence pioves in mv opinion
the sincerity and non-party character
of the Congress, And as mere is no
partv in the couniry which Is not
wholly anti-Fascist. anti-Nazi and
anti-Japan it follows that a Govern¬
ment formed by these parties is bound
las
a year previously it had been pro-
claimed under Mr. Gandhi's olders io
be a J sin to help ihe war with men
or money. can it by denied ihat these
men saw iheir opportunity m Britain's
danger and believed that the psycho¬
logical moment for the enforcement
of their political demands must be
seized while the fate of the United
Nations hung in the balance and be*
fore the i ide of war turned—if ii w’as
ever going io turn—in their favour'
The answer to these two questions is
lefi io the reader/'
I have lo answer these two ques-
lions boih as reader and accused. As
to the first quesiicn there is no ne¬
cessary inconsistency between the ge¬
nuine belief that an acceptance of the
Congress demand would help ihe
cause of (he United Nations, i.e,, of
democracy all the w ? or!d over, apd a
mass movement which, moreover, was
merely contemplated) to paralyze the
administration on non-acceptance of
ihe Congress demand. Ie Is submit-
ted that the attempt "to paralyze the
administration" on non-acceptance
proves the genuineness of the de¬
mand. It set& ihe seal on hs ge¬
nuineness by Congressmen prepat mg
to die in the attempt to paralyze an
administration ibai thwarts their will
io fight rhe combine agains! demo¬
cracy
GOVERNMENTS HOLLOWNESS
Thus ii is the administration’s dead-
set against the Congress which
proves ihe hollowness of hs claim that
It is engaged in a fight for democra¬
cy. Mv firm belief is that ihe admi-
nis<ration Is daily proving its ineffi¬
ciency for handling the war in ihe
right manner. China is slowly pin¬
ing away while the administration is
playing at war-handling, In the at¬
tempt to suppress the Congress It
has cut off the greatest source of help
to the millions of China who are bo~
ing ground down under the Japanese
heel.
44. The second question hardly de¬
mands a separate answer. Congress
men who proclaimed a year ago under
my "orders" that it is a "sin" to help
the war with "men or money" need
not be considered here, if I give dif¬
ferent "orders”. For me* I am as
much opposed to all war to-day as I
. _ was before a year or more. I am but
m become an enthusiastic champion an individual. All Congressmen are

iruly becom* 1 the cause of democracy.
COMMUNAL UNITY
42 As to communal unity, it has
been a fundamental plank with the
Congress from its commencement. Its
President is a Muslim divine of world¬
wide repute, especially in the Muslim
would- It has besides him three Mus¬
lims on the Working Committee, it
h surprising that the author has sum¬
moned to his assistance the Muslim
League opinion,
Tlie League can afford to doubt
the sincerity of Congress professions
and accuse the Congress of the de¬
sire of establishing a "Congress-
Hindu domination/’ It ill becomes
the all powerful Government of In¬
dia to lake shelter under the Mus¬
lim League wing. This has a strong
flavour of ihe old imperial Mantra
■Tijyide and Rule*. Lea true-Congress
differences are a purely domestic
quest 'on. They are bound to be ad¬
justed when foreign domination
mds. if they are not dissolved soon¬
er.
43, The author winds up the
second chapter as follows:—
"Whether the authors of the resolu-
day. if ii can achieve India’s freedom

compunction about inviting those who
seek my advice to throw themselves
heari and soul into the effort to help

volves military train ing, the people
will be free to take it, leaving me and

In a recent statement Gandhiji
suggests l hat “il is a serious ques¬
tion for the Government to consider
whether it is a necessary part of
the w p ar effort to wound the spirit
of young men and women/’
He needn't have used the qualify¬
ing word young."
But it is surprising ihai Gandhiji
of all men should betray such Ignor¬
ance of an obvious situation Hav¬
ing had to suffer Sir Reginald Max¬

"If" says Rajaji "w* accept the
argument of the Mahasabha the re¬
sult w'fii be undoubtedly continuance
of the deadlock and of British rule
for all tune."
So what?
# * *
"It is difficult" Rajaji urges, "to ap¬
preciate the slops I nave taken un¬
less there is some sympathetic Ima¬
gination "
Rajaji's plea to Pakistanis and
Akhand Hindustanis is based on m
wrong assumption. Why does he as¬
sume the possibility of the existence
of any imagination?

tn ihe opinion of a greatly daring
Muslim Leaguer, 'factions will go on
and flourish till a real constructive
programme is before the League."
Which, of course, is all bunkum.
What more do the vast hordes of
Muslim League officers and men want
than the doubly constructive pro
gramme of denouncing the Congress
and saving "Yes. Leader"

CINEMA RATES OF SEATS
A tendency lias recently been notic¬

raise the rates of seats whan popular
pictures are exhibited, The Govern¬
ment secs no justification for such in¬
crease m rates. The Managers and

trict are warned that if the usual
rates ar e raised in future in this
manner the Government would consi¬

elation. Ltd, As a matter oi fact,
there was no hurry for the decision
aa jthe Cotton Committee of the Tex¬
tile 1 Control Board had agreed not to
press f° r permission to open forward
trading for the new crop until plant¬
ing seem for cotton wa* over. The
Cotton Committee fully appreciated
the toad situation and the Govern¬
ment's efforts to raise more food How¬
ever, the floors and ceilings mention¬
ed in the press note are object lvablc
for more than one reason. As a matter
of fact, the floors offered last year
were themselves very low and were
accepted at that lime under proteat.
The current year's floors have ndverse-
iy affected the cultivators of and the
merchants dealing in short staple cot¬
tons, and the coming year's floors and
ceilings are similarly going to affect
the growers of and dealers In the
medium and long staple cottons In
many cases some of the proposed
ceilings fb r 1944-45 are much nearer
the 1943-44 floors, and in one case
the proposed celling is actually
lower.
However, ihe most important point
that i a to be emphasised is the eco¬
nomic point. The cost of living has
not gone down as compared with that
of last year, Secondly tht coai oi
cotton production lias consideraly
gone up owing to high prices of bul¬
locks, agricultural implements and
labour. On the other hand, cotton
pricey have gone down by 68 p. c From
this, It can be seen that there is no
scope whatsoever for reducing the
floor s or ceilings for 1944-45 as com¬
pared with those for the current
season.
I have mentioned here only a few
objectionable features of the press
note from the poffit of view of the
cultivator omitting to refer, for lack
of space, to the objectionable fea¬
tures from the trade’s point Of view.
