Just that they are techni- cally bound to “consult as to any action they may take” in the case of further German expansion. This means exactly nothing in the hard, bruising inter- jonal game of 1939, which the totalitarian states are playing for “keeps” while the democracies hide their heads in the sands of declarations and pro- tests Hitler, it appears from here, can have almost anything he wants to take in Eastern Europe, and nothing but a paper war will be waged against him.

A Gandhi-inspired civil ‘disobedience campaign there failed. Negotiations for reform were under way. A commission was appointed but the personnel did not meet with Gandhi’s approval. When the ruler re- jected the little leader’s ultimatum the fast was com- menced last Friday noon. Appeals to the viceroy. the Marquess of Linlithgow, have been sent from all parts of India. The people are genuinely alarmed that this ordeal may be fatal to the man whose aoetrine of non-cooperation was one of the greatest al weapons of the time. Gandhi's methods of peaceful submission, how- o not carry the weight that once they did. The Indian Congress party which he built has passed from his control. Only a few days ago he quit the pa:ly which for years was the practical instrument of his political philosophy. Subhas Chander Bose, Bengal leader, was re-elected to the presidency of objections.
