The Shape of Things.

The article presents discussions on various topics. The recent political crisis in India will seem less startling and more intelligible. Two of the seven provincial cabinets which the Indian National Congress won in the elections last year have resigned. They did so after the British governors vetoed a move to release political prisoners in those areas. Although only forty-one prisoners were actually involved, the incident has crystallized those crucial divisions within the Indian Congress. When the Congress, after bitter internal controversy, yielded to the plea of the moderates for participation in the government, the radial wing asserted its skepticism of the result. It predicted arbitrary exercise of the safeguard power retained by Great Britain, allegedly for use in emergencies only.
