He urged encouragement of disobedience of "unlawful lawa" The Councils must be made suitable for the Swarej or destroyed.
Mr. Das expected that non-co-operators would secure a majority in the Councils and said that in that event they should make a declara- tion of their rights and demand their own constitution. If that de mand was not effectuated they must oppose all work. Bureauericy would then have to yield or withdraw the Reform Act. He urged the Congress to take up the organisation of labour and the peasantry.

Four thousand delegates were present at the opening of the Con- gress. The tent was decorated with portraits of Gandhi and inscrip- tions like Failure is the sign of success."
Mr. Das's policy was not entirely accepted as the best towards Achieving a Swaraj. The Chairman of the Receptions Committee ad- vocated the establishment of a parallel system of administration.

He was found by a rother officer lying in his room in Chatham Line Barracks on Nov. 19 with a wound in his head and a re- volver by bia side. He was taken to hospital, where he died a few hars later, and at the inquest on Nov. 20 a verdier of "Suicide while of unsound mind" was returned. The colonel of the regiment said ! that he was one of his most promis. ing officers, and his men were most attached to him. Lieutenan: Scott's mother and father returned from China only a few weeks before, and
last letter Mrs. Scott received from bez son was fell of light bant- r, and told of his recovery from an attack of influenza. A pathetic fact is that the parents had no pho- graph of their son.. His next pre. to be $ sent to his mother was photograph of himself in a silver same. They knew of no reason by Lieutenant Scott should have aken bis file, and can only assume that his attack of influenza left him depressed.
