In view of the foregoing, ibis hardly necessary forme
to say that it is our duty to make U83 of '* Passive Rssiet- anrco" in order fco procure the release of Mrs. Basant and her comrades. Ife in beside bho point- whether one approves of all or any of her acts. I certainly disapprove of some of her acts, But in my humble opinion, the Government) have grievously erred in interning them, and ib is an aob of injustice. I know bhab the Government think other- wise. Ifc is possible that the publto are in error in desir- ing their release. The Government have aoted upon their belief* How are the publio bo make an effective demon- stration of their wouaded feelings ? Petitions and the like are a remedy for endurable grievances, 3JW bhe unendur- able Passive Kssistance" alone is the remedy. Only those who consider bhe wrong to be unendurable will, when tha feeling possesses them, dedioabe themselves body and eoul to bhe releaae of Mrs. Basanb. Saab self-surrender is fche moat effeobiva demonstration of a people's desire. And before it the mightiest power must bend. Such is my unalterable faith in the effioaoy of soul-foroe. People m%y restrain the aupreoae demonstration in view of Mr. Montagu's impending visib. Suoh self-imposed restraint will be a boken of their sense of justice and their faith in the Government Bub, if the interned are not released before his arrival, it will be our duty to taka UD tha matchless force I have endeavoured bo describe, Its use will be a true measure for the Government of the pain fo!t by us ; our intention cannon be to irritate or harrass them ; in my opinion, adoption of Sabyagraha will be a service to bho Governmenb.
