Mr, Gandhi was recognized by the Indian National Congress, at

Ahmedabad last week, as its sole executive saktheeity. The Congress is -now composed-solely of extremists, who are mostly very young men, and its creed appears to be an unlimited belief in the " Mahatma " and his promise of an undefined " Swaraj," or Home Rule, to be attained by non-violent non-co-operation. It is said that Mr. Gandhi means to forbid the people of two small districts in Bombay Presidency to pay taxes. The president of the All-India Moslem League, which met in Ahmedabad after the close of the other congress, definitely advocated the use of violence to establish an Indian Republic. Mr. Gandhi was present at the meeting, although in theory he must strongly disapprove of the policy of his Moslem allies.
