(Received this day at 12.25. p.m.* ? DELHI, Sept. 3. r There is increasing evidence in many parts of the country of ( a revolt against Congress “domination,” and of support to the Government combating civil disobedience. Even those who formerly supported the Congress are now realising the folly of carrying on a campaign which in addition to .ruining the -country is producing lawlessness and the inevitable result—anarchy. The recent bomib and shotting outrages have created a wave of indignation, and support to the Government is gaining momentum. In the village of Knanpur, in United Provinces, a

crowd of a»@ry loyalists rallied to the aid of the police when Congress vol- ' ■ unteers attempted to rescue two of their number, and attacked the Conx gress men. Thirty were injured in - fip ensuing fight.
