CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE.
MAHATMA GANDHI'S LAST THROW.
fVXITKD PRESS ASSOCIATION —BT tXECIRIO TXX.BGBAPH—-COPT3JGHT.} DELHI, February 21. Writing in his journal, "Young India," Mahatma Gandhi Bays he is sending his plans to the Viceroy (Lord Irwin) before taking a definite step in the campaign of Civil disobedience. He says he has been a gambler all his life. This is his last throw. In following out his faith in non-violence he counted no stake too great. He proposed at present to confine the campaign to those of his disciples who were amenable to the discipline of his religious settlement at Ahmednb&d. He realises that there is dnnger of an outbreak of violence, but he believes that the long and strong arm of British authority can subdue any outbreak where British lives are endangered. The National Congress leaders are travelling throughout India publicly explaining Mr Gandhi's plan. They generally express the opinion that Mr Gandhi's arrest will be the first stage to which war will be the sequel.
