grown TO such unwieldy proportions as
TO necessitate division OF labor. hence
the partition % the province into two

intensely resentful OF what she charac-

and impair Bengaless nationality. AZ
scores of meetings throughout Bengal
the people pledged themselves 20 sup
port the boycott which received the
sanction OF the priests. The scene at
Temple Kalighat. the greatest In Ben

assemblage took the oath "in the holy
presence of the goddess Kali not 10 use
foreign goods. ouy articles In foreign
shops when available In native shops

high priest then placed a mystic YER

effect OF the boycott.
