LATE NEWS Admonition

✡

Bombay, Jan. §. Gandhi, in his paper arijan, de- clares that the Congress organisation shows signs of disintegration,

lle continues, "The Bengal Com- mittee is frankly deflant; Orissa is split into two camps; things are not better in Kartanan, while a cortes- pondent in Kamla says that the Pro- vincial Committee does not believe in the present polley and the com- mand is trying by every means to undermine Uie influence of the Working Committee. Things are not 50 rosy.in the Punjab."

He continuas, "I cherish the hope that they will right themselves; if not, I cannot lead an undisciplined arms to victory. The fresh elections holy on. The Congressmen's cre choice is unfettered. Let the younger men come forward and take charge. If they will not, but still retain the old team, they should give implicit obedience."

Gandhi's criticism of Bengal, which is an elaborate and lengthy state- ment issued by Prasad, is interpreted, in political circles as once more a Mahaima's clear indication of the

action anxiety to avoid precipitate in connection-with-the... present. political situation and the Congress majority's determination to keep left wing elements in order.-Reuter.
