Writing in his journal, Young India, Gandhi says that he is sending his plans to the Viceroy before taking definite steps in the campaign of civil disobedience. He says that ho has been a gambler all his life. This is his last throw, and in following out his in nonviolence he counts no shake too great. He proposes at present to confine the campaign to those of his disciples who are amenable to the discipline of his religious settlement at Ahemabad. Gandhi realises that there is danger of an outbreak of violence, but he believes that the long, strong arm of British authority can subdue the outbreak where British lives are endangered. ' The Congress leaders are travelling throughout India publicly explaining Gandhi’s plan. They generally express the opinion that Gandhi’« arrest will be the first stage, to which war will be a sequel.
