The record, as set forth in quotations from what Gandhi has said about the war, has been compiled by a Hindu journalist, A.

in a book -called. "What Does Gandhi Want?" That record ought to be. studied by eyeryone who feels called upon to take a position on the Indian question. QTT June 18, when France 7 fell, this is what i Gandhi wrote in his weekly paper: The bravery of French soldier is world-known. But let the world know also the great, bravery of the Trench statesmen in suing for peace." On July 8.

1940, Gandhi issued "in appeal to every Briton" in which he said: "I would like you to lay down the arms you have as bfing useless for saving you or humanity. Vou will inrlte Herr Hitler and Signor Mussolini, to take what they want of the countries ou xsll your possessions. Let them take possession of your beautiful island, with your many beautiful buildings. You will give aQ these but neither your soul, nor your minds. 'If these gentlemen to occupy your homes, you will vacate If they do not give you free passage out, you will allow yourself, man, woman and child, be slaughtered, but you will refuse to owe allegiance to them." On July 14 of this year, he was asked this the Free Indian Government permit the United Nations to use Indian territory as a base of military operations against Japan and other Axis powers?" To this he replied in his weekly paper that "if I have any hand, in guiding the imagined fiauonai Movenunnu, there would be no further assistance save the toleration of the United Nations on Indian soil under conditions.

Naturally there will be no prohi- biuon against any Indian giving his own, personal help by way of being, a recruit and ot giving financial aid.
