A policy of mass disobedience to law will be a very difficult problem for British authorities in India. To a certain point, law-breakers may be imprisoned. However, there is a liniit to the capadty of the prisons of any nation, and there is a limit to the 'armed forces of any nation. If India decides to break laws in the modem way—^^mass production — there isn't very much that Britain can do about fence and made 2 more runs, hits 2, runs A, errors none. it.

Perhaps, now, the' whole problem may be seen lucidly and clearly. Now we need not trouble to decide whether these folks are dangerous criminals or gifted leaders of advanced thought. Criminal or genius or savior—the place for them is the penitentiary. We must not allow such talent to per- i.sh without opportunity for the bet terment of s<>ciety.
