Gandhi’s pacifism can be separated to some extent from his other teachings. (46) Its motive was religious, but he chimed also for it that it was a definite technique, a method, capable of producing desired political results. Gandhi’s attitude was not that of most Western pacifists. Satyagraha, (47) the method Gandhi proposed and practiced, first evolved in South Africa, was a sort of nonviolent warfare, a way of defeating the enemy without hurting him and without feeling or arousing hatred. It entailed such things as civil disobedience, strikes, lying down in front of railway trains, enduring police charges without running away and without hitting back, and the like Gandhi objected to "passive resistance” as a translation of Satyagraha: in Gujaruti, it seems the word means "firmness in the truth." (48) In his early days Gandhi served as a stretcher-bearer on the British side in the Boer War, and he was prepared to do the same again in the war of 1914--1918. Even after he had completely renounced violence he was honest enough. to see that in wax it is usually necessary to take sides. Since his whole political life centered round a struggle for national independence, he could not and, (49) indeed, he did not take the fruitless and dishonest line of pretending that in every war both sides are exactly the same and it makes no difference who wins. Nor did he, like most Western pacifists, specialize in avoiding awkward questions. In relation to the war, one question that every pacifist had a clear obligation to answer is: What about the Jews and are you prepared to see them exterminated (50) I must say that I have never heard, from any Western pacifist, an honest answer to this question, though I have heard plenty of evasions, usually of the "you’re another" type. But it so happens that Gandhi was asked a somewhat similar question in 1938 and his answer was on record in Mr. Louis Fisher’s Gandhi and Stalin. According to Mr. Fisher, Gandhi’s view was that the German Jews ought to commit collective suicide, which "would have aroused the world and the people of Germany to Hitler’s violence.\ Its motive was religious, but he chimed also for it that it was a definite technique, a method, capable of producing desired political results.

Daylight Saving Time begins on Monday, April 3, 2005. People in most parts of the United States will turn their clocks ahead one hour. The official(正式的) time to turn your clock ahead is early in the morning, April 3. Two am becomes three am. Sunday will have only 23 hours. (Most people change their clocks before they go to sleep Sunday night. ) In the fall, people turn their clock back an hour. This saying helps people remember which way to turn the clock""Spring ahead; fall back. "(Spring and fall each have two meanings here. ) We use Daylight Saving Time in order to save electricity (电). We need one less hour of light from electricity each day in the summer. Arizona, Hawaii, and parts of Indiana do not use Daylight Saving Time. Not every country uses Daylight Saving Time, either. Countries near the equator(赤道) have no reason to use Daylight Saving Time. Their hours of daylight and darkness are always nearly the same. There is no Daylight Saving Time in Japan, China, or India. Countries south of the equator have quite different seasons. They are ending their Daylight Saving Time now. Daylight Saving Time is used in most parts of the United States.
