GANDHI’S GOSPEL.
COUNTRYMEN CASTIGATED
“CAN’T BLUFF BRITAIN.’
CALCUTTA April 9. “The people of India have failed in their political aims, because they have not been in earnest. Particularly have they failed in their duty to do hall’ an hour’s hand-spinning daily, which I have been urging for years. In these words, Gandhi, speaking at a meeting in Bombay, returns to his claim for hand-spinning, which, he said; taught “patience and bravery” and which would be a panacea for all of India’s political ills. He added that, without spinning they would not get Home Rule. He lamented that Indians were not ready to make even small sacrifices to obtain Home Rule, but were ready enough to break people’s heads and then run away. They knew the- British Government wanted the Indians to fight among themselves. The country was not ripe for mass non-co-operation, and it was no use trying to bluff the British Government that they were.
