LONDON, Deo. 29.—The popular be- ef in India that: Mohandas Karam- chand Gandhi, the Nationalist leader, who is styled “Mahatma,” possesses supernatural powers is growing, writes the Bombay correspondent of The Westminster Gazette. ‘““Mahat- ma” means “wonder worker”, and was the title given Gandhi months ago when there could be found in re- mote Indian villages people who be- lieved that he could stop bullets, ‘heal disease, replace severed limbs and the like. Gandhi then assured his follow- ers that he could not work miracles and was therefore not “mahatma.” Within the past few weeks, how- ever, the ignorant villagers’ belief in his power has revived ‘through the appearance on the leaves of certain trees of a cotton-like material. They declared that Gandhi was making co:- ton grow in this way so as to defeat the object of the government, which is buying. up the entire. cotton crop for export. The non-co-operators have been trying to persuade all Indians to use no cotton cloth save that of na- tive spinning and weaving. “bine ee 1 ie Merdal SHIPPING POOL IS CONSIDERED SAN.
