GANDHI'S MILITARISM.
Gandhi's most recent utterances
on the state of his imbroglio for in-
dependence indicate that he is still
figuratively salting the lion's tail.
His reference to the rioting and
-dem'onstrations, to say nothing of
the killings, which have already
been consumated in the Indian
move for independence as "child's
play" bespeaks no compassion fromI
the "loly man." His avowal that he
and his followers are ready to suffer
calmly, to die for their cause
(though not in the manner of Chit-
tagong or Peshawar, he-adds be-
nignly) is couched in an heroic'
manner befitting the novelty of his
previous gestures.
Pathetic indeed is Gandhi's posi-
tion. He stands today in full sight
of the extent to which the Indian
enthusiasm for independence has
transcended the pacific limitations
of his original program. Lawless-
ness, rampage, excessive teeming
are the main results of his efforts
to realize a life-long ambition to
elevate the Indian nationalist
movement to an estate in which it
may find fulfillment amply justi-
fied. With violence in the vicinity
of Peshawar, from which women
and children have had to be re-
moved, at a white heat, indiscrim-
inate massacre of Europeans and
Indians at Chittagong following an
attempt to cut off all communica-,
tions, and casualties at Simla,
Gandhi still retains the helm of
his movement with a grip outward-
ly firm, but with mystic eye.
For in the present situation one
single fact predominates and is em-
bellished by every development
Gandhi is a religious leader, and
his followers are zealots. That the
cumulative effect of his ascetisism,
pacificism and religosity should de-
velop into a blind furore is ironic

evitably befalls a cause motivated
