Could you help me?
Hi,
I have a problem understanding the following sentence.
My first possbility is "as the as the doctrine of non-cooperation remains non-violent" is omitted between the 'so long' and 'there' to avoid redundancy.
The second one is the 'that' is pronoun, not conjunction, and the 'so long' means 'so long as.' So, the 'that' is just an object of the verb, 'suggest,' and so there is no noun clause led by that-conjunction in the sentnece.
Could you tell me which one is right?
If all my guess is wrong, please tell me right one.
Thank you.==
I, therefore, venture to suggest to my learned country men that so long as the doctrine of non-cooperation remains non-violent, so long there is nothing unconstitutional in that doctrine.
