...Himalayas to pictures of street fighting, of obscene idols, of corpses being burned beside the Ganges. Katherine Mayo supplies a text to accompany these views in a brief, anti-Hindu, over-simplified sketch of Indian history from the Muslim invasion of 999 A. D. to the trials of Mahatma Gandhi in 1935. Readers who do not share her passionate hatred of Hindu ways are likely to remain unimpressed by her purple prose, her tirades against native terrorists and agitators. Holding that "terrorism" in India is now devoted to the "overthrow of any non-Communist government . . . by multiplication of single murders...
...British General Election fell last week Egypt's so-called Independence Day, anniversary of the day in 1918 when "Egypt's violent Gandhi," the late great Zaghlul Pasha, demanded Egyptian independence at the British Residency in Cairo.

Dr. Holmes has been stumping for terrestrial goodwill for more than a generation, is a moving spirit in such assorted sodalities as the National Association for Advancement of Colored People, All World Gandhi Fellowship War Resisters League. In 1919 he broke with the Unitarians, established his own independent Community Church. While giving Dr. Holmes full marks for nobility of purpose, pragmatic spectators got a strong whiff of the parsonage in If This Be Treason's incorrigible unreality. Show folk credited the play...
...said of himself on becoming Foreign Secretary: "I think that scores of people will bear out my contention that, though many of them disagreed with my line of conduct, and felt that my proposals were unwise or ill-timed. I have ended my period with more personal friends, from Gandhi on the left to many Indian princes on the extreme right, than has any previous Secretary of State for India."
