India Adopts Policy
of NOn-ViOlence in
Fight for Freedom

Ahmedabad. British India. Dec. 30
-(By A. Pat a full session Of the
Indian national congress today the
resolution proposed by Mahatma
Gandhi. declaring for continuation
of the policy of non-violence in the
effort to obtain independence from
the British empire. was adopted with
only dozen dissenting votes.
The resolution declares Gandhi the
sole executive authority with full
powers over the congress organiza-
ton.
An amendment offered by extrem-
lists proposing the use of possible
and proper means" instead of "legi-
innate and peaceful means was
overwhelmingly defeated in commit
tee.
In apening the fourth session of
the All-India Liberal Federation to-
day. Govind Araghava Iyer, presi-
dent of the federation. delivered an
address in which he said it was the
duty of the Liberals to offer their
most loyal and cordial welcome to
the Prince of Wales. whose utter
ances had justified the viceroy's as
surance that the Princes visit had
no political object.
President Iyer urged that the Lib
erals strive for full dominion status
within the British empire.
In moving his resolution Gandhi
said it meant that they had grown
out of state of helplessness and
were determined to have their own
way. He said the resolution left the
door wide open if the government or
other moderates sincerely wanted a
round table conference.
Referring to the messag &c OF the
Ganhdi resolution by the Con-
gross at Ahmeha bad. the India
Office said today that in its view
the resolution. declaring Ganhdi the
sole executive authority. did not
mean a declaration of independence.
