Mr. Gandhi Replies to Criticism.

Bombay, April 17. "As in the matter of Hindu- Muslim unity, there has been mis- representation în the matter of 'untouchability.' It has been stated that I am sacrificing the Interests of the 'untouchables' for the sake of Saraj. I know lakhs of 'untouchables' won't believe any auch thing of me. For me, just as there is no Swaraj without com- munal unity, so there is до Swaraj without the removal of 'untouchability"."

Thus writes Mr. Gandhi in to day's Young India. He proceeds: "But what I do feel is that, with- out Swaraj, there will neither be. communal unity nor the removal of 'untouchability. He who runs may see that it is to the interesta of the ruling caste to keep up. divisions among us.

"That caste is no more interest- ed in Hindus and Moslems, coming together than in the removal of 'untouchability. Such being my deep conviction, I would be wrong- ing the minorities and wronging. the touchables if I stopped the progress to. Swaraj by inaction:

My indictment is not against the English as men. It is against Englishmen as the ruling caste, As men they are as good as we In some respects they are better, in some others they may be worse. But ad rulere they are highly un- desirable. As rulers they can đó and have done no good to any of 2. They pandered: to accentuate our vices.
