Main political instrument of the Congress consists of the eleven provincial governments. In eight of them the party has a majority, in one other a strong minority. First move would be for those nine to get a vote of censure of Lord Linlithgow's statement from their respective legislatures ; then resign. After that would begin widespread civil disobedience which might cut off Britain's supply of Indian raw materials. This week, Congress orders went out to the nine strong governments to set machinery moving which might do as much to dislocate Britain's Empire as Herr Hitler's war machine.
