description This article discusses and commends Mahatma Gandhi's plans for a "bloodless revolution" in India, comparing it to revolutionary wars in the United States, France, and Russia: "India contains more than 300,000,000 people. The demand for freedom is probably as widespread and intense there as it was in the American colonies in 1776...All the 'makings' of a frightful catastrophe are present in full measure. But Gandhi sticks to his doctrine of peace [and] it begins to look as if he would carry the day. The importance of this achievement can hardly be overestimated. In a world that has almost invariably used force to gain its ends, Gandhi has demonstrated that other means can be more effective. A revolution without an appeal to arms, is, indeed, something new under the sun."
