Together at Last

For six years Mohamed Ali Jinnah, head of India's Moslem League, has dodged Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. Jinnah has declined to discuss, man to man, the League's lack of relations with the All-India National Congress. Last July Gandhi accepted the Moslem League's Pakistan principle--autonomy for all Indian areas with a Moslem majority--and again proposed a meeting with Jinnah. Jinnah said yes, but fell sick. Gandhi bided his time.

Last week he walked 300 yards up the hill to Jinnah's modern bungalow in Bombay. The two men greeted each other, then disappeared inside.

Three hours later Gandhi came out again: the unity talk had been postponed until the following Monday. Sunday is the 21st day of Ramadan, the Moslem holy month, and Jinnah must spend it in silence.
