Bundles for Britain

Little Mobandas Karamchand Gandhi, who hates violence as much as he loves the squatting position, last week admitted "at least theoretically" that he had aided Britain's war effort by allowing his organizations to sell hand-woven blankets for British soldiers' use.

Said the spindling Mahatma, in an argument which was none too substantial itself: "We cannot live in India, or in any part of the world, without rendering such theoretical help" to war, because anything we do or say helps the war. . . .

"The principle of nonviolence may be compared to Euclid's definition of a line as having no dimensions, but in practice it assumes some thickness. Persons can follow the policy of nonviolence only as far as is practicable. . . .

"If my trade helps society and does not help in destroying society, it becomes my duty to sell my merchandise even to soldiers."
