Gandhi Finds New Cabinet

Gandhi Finds New Cabinet.

The watchfulness of the white world—the gold world—will be enhanced by the crisis into which Britain, Europe, and America have so suddenly and completely been plunged. The wider effect of this crisis is economic, but the deeper effect is moral, or even moral-religious (as indicated by the widespread revival of the study of prophecy). Gandhi's arrival in London could have had no more vivid back-ground than this near-breakdown of the gold world's page 50 economic system, including grave perils to the finance of the British money-centre. Events have moved so rapidly that imagination might easily read destiny into them. Gandhi was invited by one Government. He is received by another. For at a moment's notice the Prime Minister of Britain and his ablest lieutenant have had to cut themselves off from The Lahour Party in order to head a National Government to ward off economic blows aimed even at the financial citadel.
