What Next in India?

The past six months have witnessed many swings backward and forward in Indian political life. A pause has now been reached in this oscillation with the Viceroy's announcement that dominion status was the declared goal of British statesmanship and that a conference was to be summoned in London, England. The new tone adopted in England towards China has also not passed unnoticed. Young India, especially, has begun to feel a new strength of her own. She is no longer in a pliant mood. These inner facts will probably account for the checkered reception which has been given to the Viceroy's declaration. The younger members of the Nationalist Party, who are at heart in favor of complete separation from England, are critical of everything that comes from England today.
