charged? And then tell me of any other country in the world where students are so roughly handled and so cruelly beaten? You will find both these questions very hard to answer. To be candid there is no answer at all. Why then does this columnist go out of his way to damn the entire youth of a nation when that same youth has given to us some of the most glorious pages of modern Indian history?
HITLERIAN METHODS
So long as youth strives for decency and self respsct nobody has the right to apply patty restrictions in a country long misused by overrule. It is the affair of the individual to define between right and wrong.
Nobody gives our youth a decent hearing. Specially, in this hapless country of mine, modern youth is not given any credit for restraint or better feelings. The authorities feel that studsnts must be warned, watched and spied upon before they'll keep good. Frankly, isn't there something Hitlerian about this?
We've had more than enough about dictators, including moral dictators. So let's stop all this crabbing of Indian youth. Lei the buds blossom. Let youth live its life. Let us not break their spirit. .. .for in
that spirit I can see the future glory of India!

In Eire five military officers can take any Irish citizen and have him shot by court martial, and any police chief can enter a house and seize the furniture unless the occupier can prove he has not stolen it — that is, prove a negative. Such things were impossible under British rule."
However, Bernard Shaw does not know that in India today, instead of furniture, any person can be arrested under the Defence of India Rules and not given a chance to prove even a negative. Such things, I'm sure are unheard of under any rule.
MORE BALONEY
And while on the subject of Bernard Shaw, here is a paragraph from a letter he wrote to the London "Daily Herald": "England has held her hand very hard. No other country in the world would have accepted the situation. Mr. de Valera is asking Mr. Churchill to imperil his 40 million people for the sake of the mere paper neutrality of foui million hostile Irishmen. Mr. de Valera wants to make Ireland another Switzerland, but it can't be done. He says that those ports belong to Eire, but the day is gone when any race of people can call
