46 A PILGRIMAGE FOB, PEACE
Could it have had a place In counteracting Italian aggression ?
Could it be employed in Spain ? How is the conscience of the
world to be roused against the aggressor in such a way that
mere physical success becomes turned into a moral defeat ? Is
there a moral world sanction that does not depend for its effect-
iveness upon the use of physical force ? Would it be possible to
use such a moral sanction, to put a last question, to pacify the
tribesmen on the North-West Frontier of India ? "
Badshah Khan and his Khudai Khidmatgar move-
ment had partly furnished the answer. Gandhiji now set
out to see whether the question mark could not altogether
be removed.
