GANDHI AND SWARAJ.
THE BOYCOTT ISSUE. DELHI, June 30. Advices from Alimadabad, Bombay, state that the Punlit Motilal Nehru, leader of the Swaraj party in the Legislative Assembly, walked out with his followers from the hall in which the executive of the National Congress had met to discuss Gandhi's motion disqualifying for membership on the executive those not agreeing with his boycott policy. After the withdrawal of the Swarajists, the committee adopted, by 67 votes to 37, Gandhi's resolution laying down that at all congresses officials must sit for half an hour daily, otherwise they will vacate the bilice. Gandhi then urged that the clause stipulating vacation of office should be rescinded on the ground that it had been carried by a small majority only, and would have been defeated if the Swarajists had voted. To this the committee agreed. — (A. and N.Z. Cable.)
