OXFORD IN THE AIR WAR - EVACUEES TAKE PLACE OF STUDENTS IN UNIVERSITY CITY
Oxford, once quiet and sedate seat of learning, has taken on an unfamiliar aspect since the intensification of the air war, for it is now a city of refuge for many thousands of mothers and children from the bombed areas of London. Though some of the colleges of the University have been closed and many of the undergraduates are in the Forces, there are few vacant rooms to be found in the town. The houses where students formerly lived are occupied by evacuees. The pavements of the main street are crammed as never before with pedestrians, restaurants and eating houses are packed with customers at all times of the day, and the cinemas are gratified by the eager patronage of exiled Londoners.
Despite the changed face of the town, however, the past is still represented by undergraduates from the colleges which have remained open as they stroll or cycle through the streets.
Photo Shows: A quiet and picturesque byway of Oxford undiscovered by the majority of the teeming newcomers to the town.

Letter from Gandhi to Hitler appealing for peace
Letter from Gandhi to Hitler appealing for peace
23 July 1939
Dear friend,
Friends hare been urging me to write to you for the sake of humanity. But I have resisted their request, because of the feeling that any letter from me would be an impertinence. Something tells me that I must not calculate and that I must make my appeal for whatever it may be worth.
It is quite clear that you are today the one person in the world who can prevent a war which may reduce humanity to the savage state. Must you pay that price for an object however worthy it may appear to you to be ? Will you listen to the appeal of one who has seliberately shunned the method of war not without considerable success? Any way I anticipate your forgiveness, if I have erred in writing to you.
I remain,
Your sincere friend
M K Gandhi
