...argued that this native Congress does not represent any considerable number of the Indian people, Mr. Gandhi has secured the attendance of some 60,000 Congressmen at each normal meeting. They met last week in a swiftly-constructed bamboo and tent city near the village of Faizpur, 200 mi. outside Bombay, and the Mahatma laid aside for this occasion his recent preoccupation with the special problems of India's Untouchables and village industries.

In the course of his 1,000-mi. tour of provinces and towns in loyalist possessions he interviewed Government officials, militiamen, frightened middle-class intellectuals, anarchists, officers and police officials, emerging convinced that stories of Red atrocities have been wildly exaggerated, that the civil war was the result of fascist provocation, that no working-class revolution threatened the Spanish Republic before the attempted coup d'etat of General Franco on July 18.
