BY CARROLL BINDER. By Radio to The Star. LONDON, England, October 15— Armed police early today began raiding the offices and arresting the officers of the Bembay Congress Committee and allied Naticnalist organizations, which were recently declared illegal by the viceroy, Lord Irwin. Evefts are thus shaping themselves precisely as the Na- flun‘:flsl extremists Eoped they would. Londoners best informed on India draw two important conclusions from the latest Indian dispatches and private advices: 1. The congress is now equipped with martyrdom and propaganda cries suffi- ciently loud enough to distract Indian attention from the forthcoming Round Table, whither the moderates’ negotia- tions with the British would normally attract it, to the grievous injury of the congress’ prestige. +2 Conditlons are ripening for a transformatoin of the congress anti- British campaign from a non-violent to a violent character. Violence Against Violence. ‘The more radical spirits, led by the Pundit Jawaharlal Nehru, believe that the hour is nearing when the Na- tionalists should meet police violence with violence and it is belleved that many partisans will respond to the new policy, however painful it will be to Mahatma Gandhi and other sincere be- lievers in non-violence and mere civil disobedience. ‘The British, on the other hand, be- lleve that the hour has struck for stamping out the Congress once and for all. Thejr vigorous campaign of repression began at dawn when 150 police, armed with batons and guns, raided the Congress headquarters, of- fices of the Youth League and women's W. .

A very unusual background and past experience make him a real authority on Oriental rugs. This line is, indeed, his life work, for he began as a child to weave rugs in the Orient. Later he sold rugs there and then came to New York, where he was connected with direct importers in the best houses. We want very much to have you come in to hear his interesting talks, and to know him.

Gott, President Inc. organizati nd five volunteer camps as well as private houses. ‘The m-n:% government simulta~ neously decla: 38 Congress organiza- tions illegal and arrested every Na- tionalist leader upon whom it could lay its hands, including some notables, like K. P. Nariman, president of the Youtn League, who recently announced.a policy of creating Congress courts and boycotting Bri! law agencies. The leaders were immediately sentenced to three or four months of imprisonment with hard labor. Although troops are standing by for any emergency. mertial law has not yet been proclaimed. Endurance Contest. ‘The London press enthusiastically headlines, “Congress Wiped Out” .in chronicling the 125 arrests, but such | & verdict is premature. The next weeks will show how real is the strength of which the Congress boasts. It is claim- ed there are 15,000 volunteers in Bom- bay alone ready to fill the places of the leaders arrested by the British. Ap- parently it will be an endurance con- test in Which victory lies with the party the longest able to keep the offices fill- ed or unfilled. Meantime a little board of strategy, whose identity is not known, actually directs the Congress activities from safe and secret headquarters. The Congress boasts that arrests of official leaders do not impede its real activities, but meantime inflame against the British popular opinion and all Indians having anything to do with the round table. ‘There may even be some protest at the round table, when it convenes here, against police repression of the Con- gress.
