GANDHI’S FAST
’’P’HE receni'y cabled news from India confirms the Chronicle's reading of the situation’ in regard to the latest fast of Mahatma Gandhi. The opinion here expressed that it was a last desperate throw on the part of Gandhi himself to regain his personally predominant position in India, finds current confirmation. Further, it does not appear that the move by Gandhi is meeting with much success at the present moment. Gandhi has always posed as a spiritual force in the realm of politics. It may be conceded that there was something of that quality in him, but the solid fact remains obstinately plain that when the money provided by the manufacturers in India, who benefited by the boycott of British goods, were cut off, from that moment Mahatma Gandhi’s star started to decline.
