INDIAN CONGRESS
REJECTION OF DOMINION STATUS DEMAND FOR COMPLETE INDEPENDENCE. ATTEMPT TO STAMPEDE MR GANDHI. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day, 11.30 a.tn.) CALCUTTA. March 18. Congress approved by a large majority the Patna resolution rejecting Dominion status and demanding complete independence. Left Winger’s urged immediate action. The Communists demanded civil disobedience, resistance to the war and total severance from Britain. Mr Gandhi, technically a non-mem-ber of Congress, was subjected to some criticism because he did not promote civil disobedience. Others, on the contrary, affirmed him to be India's man of destiny. Mr Gandhi criticised the formation of different groups within the Congress, which should not exist in a fighting organisation. He added that the resolution strengthened his position as leader. He would not be stampeded into a struggle until his conditions were accepted.
