Just who the “prominent persons” alleged to in the foregoing may be is not clear. It seems possible, however, that leaders of the native Indian na- tionalist movement, of whom Mahat- ma Gandhi is the chief, may be meant. The government headed by Gandhi, however, is conducted along lines of avoidance of violence, the method ad- vocated being that of non-co-operation with the British regime in India, or the virtual boycott of al) things Brit- ish within the Indian realm.
