GANDHI'S VIEW NO CAUSE
FOR ALARM
(Rec. 10 a.m.) BOMBAY, Feb. 22. ,
Emphasising that there is not the slightest cause for alarm or panic in India, Gandhi, in an article in the "Harijan," said: "If we have learnt nothing worse from our contact with the.Bri' tish, let us at lealt learn their calmness in the face of misfortunes. Failures do not dismay or demoralise the British. There have been reverses, and some of them may be considered disastrous, but the British have the knack of surviving and turning them into stepping-stones to success. War for them is a national game, like football The defeated team heartily congratulates the successful team, almost as if it was a joint victory, and drowns the sorrow of defeat in an exchange of glasses of whisky."
