GANDHI'S "LAST THROW”
PLANS TO BE SENT TO VICEROY VIOLENCE ANTICIPATED Heed. 10 a.m. DELHI, Friday. Writing in his journal, “Young India," Gandhi says he is sending his plans to the Viceroy before taking any definite step in the campaign of civil disobedience. He says he has been a gambler all his life. This is the last throw and, in following out his faith in nonviolence, he counted no stake too great. He proposed at present to confine his campaign to those of his disciples who were amenable to the discipline of the religious settlement at Alimadabad. He realises that there is a danger of an outbreak of violence, but he believes that the “long, strong arm of British authority” can subdue any outbreak where British lives are endangered.
Congress leaders are travelling throughout India publicly explaining Gandhi’s plan. They generally express the opinion that Gandhi’s arrest will be the first stage, to which war will be a sequel.
