Quotes passages from an article by Gandhi in 'Young India' urging Indians not to serve the Government, and refers to a letter by him in the 'Bombay Chronicle' stating that, if the rumours of his imminent arrest were true, it would confirm that the Government was waging war not against violence but against the principle of non-co-operation. The question of prosecuting Gandhi will be considered in Council on the 10th.
