Last week on the issue of Neville Chamberlain's new foreign policy-rapprochement with Italy and Germany, the issue which caused Anthony Eden's resignation (TIME, Feb. 28)-the Opposition voted 167 strong against the Government. They won over to their side just one Conservative, Mr. Vyvyan Adams, an official of the British League of Nations Union...

As a curtain raiser to the Congress City palaver, Mr. Gandhi, in his political capacity of Boss, fortnight ago ordered the native premiers of the United Provinces and Bihar to resign with their cabinets. They obeyed.
