India Should Stay in British Empire,
But Must Have Home Rule, Says Candhi

Since Gandhi's release from prison
the world-especially that part of
the world under the British flag
has awaited anxiously an announce
ment of his future policy toward the
empire. Before his arrest he had
persuaded the militant Ali brothers
and 100000 Mohammedans, bit
ter over Lloyd Georges treatment of
the Turk and their sultan, to forsake
the sword for passive resistance. Be-
fore his Imprisonment he had con-
vinced millions of his fellow Hindus
that their hope of independence lay
not in war against Britain, but in
the peaceful attainment of dominion
home rule within the empire.
More than any one man in all India,
Gandhi had preached non-violence,
and had repeatedly declared his
friendly attitude toward Great Brit
ain. 1t was feared. however, that his
Imprisonment would have changed
this attitude and would drive him
into the ranks of the advocates Of
complete separation from the empire.
do was whispered throughout Britain
and its answer was awaited all the
more breathlessly because during his
confinement the Mohammedans had
grown restless. There had been out
bursts of violence. Even the Hindus
were divided among themselves. One
faction openly flaunted proclama-
tion reading: India cannot accept
any overlord; she must be free and
independent nation Some Hindus
moved to delete the words "by peace
full and legitimate means" from the
creed of the nationalist party.
Then came the news: Gandhi was
released. What course would he
take?
That was the question asked Of
the frail, brown figure, clad only in
homespun loin cloth, who sat i'm
mobile, his face deeply furrowed by
fifty-five years of self-sacrifice and
imprisonment, apparently uncon-
scious that he held the fate Of Brit
fsh India In his hands.
Evening star., 1924-03-23

II still believe it possible for India
to remain within the British en-
pire," he answered quietly.
And, after a pause, continued: "I
still put implicit faith in non-vio-
lence, which, if strictly followed by
India, will invoke the best in the
British people. My hope for the at
tainment Of swaraj by non-violence
is based upon an immutable belief in
in all human nature.
II have always maintained that
India had no quarrel with the Eng
lish. Jesus denounced the wicked
ness of the scribes and the Pharisees,
but he did not hate them. So We
need not hate Englishmen, though
we hate the system they have estab-
lished. They have given India a sys-
tenn based upon force, by which they
can feel secure only in the shadow
Of their forts and guns. We Indians,
in turn, hope by our conduct to DEM
onstrate to every Englishman that
he is as safe in the remotest corner
Of India as he processes to feel be-
hind the machine gun"
''What do you means by swaraj?"
"A full partnership for India with
other parts of the empire" was the
immediate reply, "just the same. as
Canada, South Africa and Australia
enjoy. Nor shall we be satisfied un-
til we obtain full citizens rights
throughout the British dominions for
all the kings subjects, irrespective
Of caste, color or creed.
During Mr.. Gandhi's Imprisonment
some of his followers had broken
away from his leadership and had
successfully participated in the elec-
,tion to the new legislative councils.
These councils Mr.. Gandhi had Wig
orously opposed because he consider
ed them a compromise measure, by
which Britain granted a mere frac-
ton instead of complete home rule.
Accordingly. I asked Mr.. Gandhi If he
still believed in boyootting the coun-
ellis. -
YES" the mahatma replied, IT still
believe that we should not participate

WHAT IS SUCCESS?
V-The Biggest Thing in the World

fundamental principles must be used
whether handling postage stamps or
millions.
Therefore. in this discussion Of what
is success. the law of action and re-
action must be considered. 1t is the
biggest thing in the world. because
it controls even the emotions of the
human heart and is the basis of true
religion itself.
A chart of business conditions looh
like a cross-section of the Rocky
mountain states with their peaks and
valleys. The peaks above the normal
line are business booms, periods when
there is reckless expansion, hystericaI
activity, and unsound imitation. The
valleys below the normal lines are
business depressiens, periods when
there is ruthless retrenchment. panic.
unemployment, and general hard
times. Every time there is an abnor
NAL boom there is sure to follow an
abnormal depression. This is fun
damental law. a big period above the
normal line is inevitably followed BY
big period below the line.

in the councils until Britain suffers q
with us. However, I do not wish to
express any opinion on the action of
the nationalist party in participating
in the councils until I have talked
with the leaders. This have already
started to do"
When asked if Imprisonment had
changed his views on politics and re-
ligion, Mr.. Gandhi replied:
They have undergone no change,
but have been confirmed by two
years Of solitude and introspection.
L have been experimenting with my
self and friends by introducing re-
lfgion into politics, and now 1 be-
lieve they cannot be divorced. Let
me explain what I mean by religion.
1t is not Hinduism, which 1 prize
most highly, but the religion which
transcends Hinduism-the basic truth
which underlies all the religions of
the world. It is the struggle for
truth-for self-expression. I call it
the truth force-the permanent ele-
ment in human nature, constantly
struggling to find itself, to know its
Maker. This is religion.
81 believe that politics cannot be
divorced from religion. My politics
can be summed up in two words
non-violent, non-co-operation. And
the roots of. non-violent, non-co-
operation are buried in the religions
Of the, world. Christ refused to CO.
operate with the scribes and the
Pharisees. Buddha feariessly refused
to Cooperate with the arrogant
priesthood of his day. Mohammed,
Confucius, most of our great prophets
have been 'non-co-operators. 1 SIM
ply and humbly follow in their foot
steps.
Non co operation" Mr.. Ghandi
continued, earnestly, means nothing
less than training in self-sacrifice.
And this again was practiced by the
great teachers Of the world. Strength
does not come from physical capacity.
It comes from indomitable will. I

HoONA, India-Mahatma Gandhi
- believes that India can still
remain a part of the British
empire.
This was the outstanding point in
an interview with Mohandas Ka-
ramchand Gandhi, the saint Of India,
secured for me by his son Devadas.
It was the first interview which Mr..
Gandhi has given to the public outside
India since his release from prison on
February T.
Mr.. Gandhi is recuperating in the
mountain air of Poona, just few
miles from Yeravda prison, in which
two years of confinement so broke
his health that unconditional release
by the British government was nee
essary. Already Poona has become
mecca for the nationalistic leaders
Of India, who are pouring in to pay
tribute to "The Patriot" and to seek
his advice in the struggle for Indian
freedom.
Mr.. Gandhi expects soon to join
them. His first statement when in
"I shall resume my activities for
the attainment of swaraj (home rule)
just as soon as I am restored to COM
plete health"
Prison life has reduced Mr.
Gandhi's weight eight pounds, a loss
which he could ill afford, since he
tipped the scales at only ninety-eight
pounds before he began sentence.
Part of this loss may have been due
to the fact that he eats only two
meals a day, one at sunrise, the
other at sunset This was not a
prison diet, inflicted by the authori-
ties. but his regular method of eat
ing, due to his belief in self disci-
pline. He also limits his diet to five
articles of food day. This rule is
so rigidly enforced that the mahatma
considers soup without seasoning as
one article of his menu; but If the
soup contains salt and pepper he can
siders that he has partaken Of three
articles.
