The progress of the boycott movement of the na tive element in In jia against the Brit- l ish Indian government is given in reports from. India reaching the In dia information bureau here. The reports state that since the boycott began many natives have resigned from offices under the government; four colleges have closed as a result cf the agitation, with a growing student-strike movement through the country; and an almost complete boy cott is under way of the government elections scheduled to take place in a tew weeks. ' For the first time since the inau guration of the boycott, the British Indian government has issued a state ment of its attitude: tovvai-d the movement, according to despatches just received by the Indian bureau. The i.iuLuiiitm suvs inau no repressive civiioii win ue iax.en uy rne govern ment "for it considers that such ac tion should only be employed in the last resort, when, indeed, failure to adopt it would be a criminal betrayal of the people." The government has refrained from taking action against these who advocate a boycott of the government schools, the law courts and the legislative councils, for three reasons, namely: "Reluctance- to interfere with the liberty of speech and of the press at r time when India is on the eve of a great advance toward the realization of responsible government. ''R'ductance to make martyrs of ;:;diviuuals, some of whom may be honest in their convictions. "Tiust that the common sense, of India will reject the non coopera tion." " The bureau states that the native clement construes the statement to mean that action will be taken to re press the boycott on the slightest outbreak of violence or anything that may be construed as such.

They are all in the ' mental attitude of "seeing things," searching back of them or under them'! for the meaning and strength of the! more silent currents. At the moment of their most desperate straits dur ing the war, this country came to their help. The war over, they tooii President Wilson's actions and prom ises at their face value. They had no adequate means of knowing exactly what our help or his actions meant as balanced by tnz mental attitude cf the contrelling mass of this people. Then came the deadlock between the president and the Senate. The army in Europe al most wholly disappeared, the expect ed flood of financial help from this side did not materialize; it was, i:i fact, flatly refused. : Instead of idealism and altruism controlling the international attitude of the United States, they saw these verbalaneed hy a very practical con servatism amounting; in their dis heartened condition to what stSemed a rule of mere materialism.

They found they must face their re construction problems alone. The election followed, and none in this country ever aroused in Europe comparable interest amounting to so licitude. Before 1916 an election ia this country was for those countries just a distant phenomenon cf but in different importance. But even those coming during the war were nor watched with that tense feeling c personal moment, as was this of No vember .2. Every move of the cam -naiprn was weighed in the European balance.
