Congress Party List
(Received November 14, 8.40 p.m.) LONDON, November 13.
It is reported from Bombay that Mahatma Gandhi has drawn up a list of 1500 members of tlie Congress Party who will invite imprisonment as tlie result of individual civil disobedience in tlie form of anti-war activities. The list includes all the former Congress Ministers and other well-known leaders.
"Tlie Times" Deffii correspondent says the selected members of tlie Congress Party are promulgating Gandhi’s specific views, chiefly in tile villages. They indicate that Indian participation in tlie war conllict.s witli tlie Congress ideal of non-violence. Tlie political policy of file Gandhi supporters within the Congress relegates to second place such political aims as early independence, tlie establishment of a National Government and I tie settlement of domestic controveries.
Gandhi opposes Nazism and hopes that it will lie defeated, inti does nut agree to defeating it by violence. The majority of his followers do not endorse his views. His intent inn to limit Ctlic campaign to chosen individuals is claimed to reflect his anxiety to spare Britain excessive embarrassment.
