...week's decision by the executive committee is upheld by the full Congress Committee (a gathering of more than 200 who almost invariably do as they have been told), St. Gandhi last week left his rustic village retreat, came jolting into Wardha on a bullock cart. Had the Mahatma expected opposition, he would have first half starved himself, then insisted upon walking instead of riding in a bullock cart, would have staggered into the Congress Committee and inspired his disciples with their oft-repeated "pangs of remorse for the suffering we cause the Mahatma by our unworthiness."

They met last week in a swiftly-constructed bamboo and tent city near the village...
...reversing at the start the biggest news story of the Empire last week. The dispatch contained no particulars of the alleged "enthusiasm" of Indians for the Coronation and this was presumably confined to pukka sahibs in the privacy of their homes. At the Congress sessions last week the Mahatma spoke with his usual mystic benevolence...
