Squirming under the Gandhi thumb, however, has been a group of educated, progressive, Westernized young Indian Leftists. While admiring Saint Gandhi's past contributions to the cause, they have nevertheless deplored the fact that the Mahatma's closest advisers have long been a group of rich Hindu moneylenders and merchants, that the Saint is not even faintly inclined to socialist principles. They also take no stock in Mahatma Gandhi's belief that machines are wicked, that earthquakes are demonstrations of God's wrath and that the primitive Indian village life is the ideal way of living...
...down on Leader Gandhi's man, re-elected Leftist Bose, by a vote of 1,575-to-1,376. Saint Gandhi took his defeat hard. He charged fraud, claimed the Congress was fast becoming a "corrupt organization" and intimated that his supporters might bolt the Congress organization.

Like other Japanese Christians, he has been largely silenced during the war in China...
...have never forgiven him for an early column in which he indirectly justified lynchings in San José, Calif. But two years ago, when he went to Europe and wrote a series of searing attacks on Hitler and Mussolini, his standing was ace high. They deplored his sneers at "Mahatma" Sinclair and his "Brainstorm Trust," reveled in his fury at Huey Long, cooled off again when he began taunting the New Deal about the "Second Louisiana Purchase." Today, "Old Peg" is in bad odor among the intellectuals because of his attacks on the C.I.O., his open redbaiting, his disrespect...
