GANDHI’S LAST THROW
PLANS SUBMITTED TO VICEROY. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) DELHI, February 21. Writing in his journal “Young India,” Mahatma Gandhi says 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. Gandhi proposed at present to confine the campaign of those of his disciples, who were amenable to the discipline of his religious settlement at Ahmedabad. He realises that there is danger of an outbreak in 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 the war will be a sequel.
