The Indian National Congress at Cawnporc has ended in a

huge majority for a resolution demanding an imme- . diate "Dominion Status" in default of which there is to be a campaign of "mass civil disobedience." It looks bad ; but the truth is that the opponents of this mad scheme are powerful and able men and that through- out India the Swarajist Party is at sixes and sevens. The situation is really better though the Cawnpore Congress has tried to make it look worse.
