CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE NOT FAVOURED
MR GANDHI MAY ADOPT ALTERNATIVE METHOD
SIMLA, April 28.
Mr Gandhi, in an article in the Congress newspaper, rejected the idea of any immediate campaign for mass civil disobedience. Nevertheless, he warns Britain that he is considering alternative methods, perhaps a more spectacular single act by himself in order to convince the British Government of India’s right to determine her future. “Mass civil disobedience is most unlikely,” he says. “The choice lies between individual and civil disobedience on a large scale, very restricted disobedience, or an action confined to me.”
He adds that he does not desire to embarrass the British, especially in the present circumstances, when it is a question of life or death for them.
