NAGPUR, January 2.

At the Nationalist Congress (mentioned in our earlier cables), s resolution with regard to non-violent non-cooperation urges the with- drawal of children from the State Schools, students from State "institutions, and lawyers from their practices. It appeals to merchants and traders gradually to boycott foreign trade. It says that the Congress will appoint a committee of experts to formulate a scheme of economic boycott and call upon the elected members of the Council to resign, soldiers and police to refuse to subordinate creed and Government employes country to the fulfilment of orders, and

pending the national call for their resignation to "help the national cause by greater kindness and stricter honesty in their dealings with the people." It urges all bodies exclusively to give attention to non-coopera- tion in order that self-government.may be established in one year.
