yes -- ?
did they? well, they'll find we're a little better prepared this time. mr. gandhi will find he's on a long hiding to nothing.
but on a short trip, i wouldn't spend too much time on the indian question, mr. walker. it's a tiny factor in south african life.
of course. we westerners have a weakness for these -- these spiritually inclined men of india. but as an old lawyer, let me warn you, mr. gandhi is as shrewd a man as you will ever meet, however "otherworldly" he may seem. but i'm sure you're enough of a reporter to see that.
ah, mr. gandhi. i thought we might have a little talk.
will you have a glass of sherry?
perhaps some tea?
ahh.
please -- please do come and sit down. it's prison i wanted to talk to you about.
mr. gandhi, i've more or less decided to ask the house to repeal the act that you have taken such "exception" to.
hm. of course it is not quite that simple.
i'm glad to hear you say that.  very glad. you see if we repeal the act under pressure under this kind of pressure it will create a great deal of resentment. can you understand that?
good. good. i have thought of calling for a royal commission to "investigate" the new legislation. i think i could guarantee they would recommend the act be repealed.
but they might also recommend that future indian immigration be severely restricted -- even stopped.
you're an extraordinary man.
i'm ordering the release of all prisoners within the next twenty- four hours. you yourself are free from this moment.
assuming we are in agreement?
all right. fine.
oh! neither have i. i'm awfully sorry.
daniels, would you lend mr. gandhi a shilling for a taxi?
how far will you be going, mr. gandhi?
he's either a great man or a colossal fraud.  either way, i shall be glad to see the last of him.
