GANDHI ON BRITISH
MISFORTUNES FACED CALMLY AND MADE STEPPING STONES TO SUCCESS. NO CAUSE FOR ALARM IN INDIA. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 10.30 a.m.) BOMBAY, February 22. Emphasising that there is not the slightest cause for alarm or panic in India, Mr Gandhi, in an article in the “Harijan,” said: “If we have learnt nothing worse from our contact with the British, let us at least learn their calmness in face of misfortunes. Failures do not dismay or demoralise British. There have been reverses of which some may be considered disastrous, but the British have a 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 one almost as if it were a joint victory and drowns the sorrow of defeat in the exchange of glasses of whisky.”
