ALMOST AN ISOLATIONIST
Mahatma Gandhi,
Indian leader,
wants a peace without a victory and urges
the United States, before giving unlimited
assistance to Great Britain, to inquire
about the future of India, and other colonial
possessions.
The Mahatma has the makings of an
ideal isolationist. He is not worried, ap-
parently, about the fate of Belgians, Nor-
wegians, Poles, Czechs, Greeks and other
peoples of Europe.
Like some people in the United States
the Indian Nationalist likes to pick at the
British lion, now engaged in a desperate
struggle with a gang of predatory bandits,
but has nothing whatever to say about the
international cutthroats that threaten to
make permanent wrongs that are much
greater than anything that the British have
done in India, and elsewhere.
