part OF the campaign to spread dis
affection openly, to render govern

was true the articles insisted on non
violence, but he asked what was the

others to overthrow it,"
Thereupon Gamhi made 4 long
statement in which he admitted that
teaching disaffection against the eX-
listing system of goNernme had be
come almost a passion with him. He
declared he took all the blame for
the disorders in Madras, Bombav
and Chauri Chaura; but he added
that he would keep up his work if
liberated, Non-viole nee was the first
and last article of his faith; he bore
no i'll Will against any single admin
istrator nor any disaffection toward
the kings person.
Gandhi said he was in court to
submit cheerfully to the highest pen
atty which could be inflicted and that
there were only two courses open. to
the Judge either to resign if he felt
the law was called upon to admins

penalty if he believed Gandhi's activ-
ity injurious to the public veal.
The Judge in addressing Gandhi.
said it was impossible to ignore the
fact that in the eyes of millions of
his countrymen Gandhi was a great
patriotic leader and a man of high
ideals. leading noble. even 4 sanity
life; but his duty WAS to Judge him
rs a man who admitted he had
broken the law and committed what

to be Il great O1fense against the
state.
The judge said he was unable to
understand how Gandhi could have

not DC the inevitable consequence Of

making six years all together.
Gandhi in replying, thanked the
court for his courtesy. He said he
considered the sentence as light as
any Judge could possibly have in

The news of the sentence of the
