GANDHI'S TERMS.
FOR CESSATION OF CAMPAICN.
SUBSTANTIVE INDEPENDENCE.
(United Press Association—Copyright.)
LONDON, August 19. Gandhi's terms for the cessation of the civil disobedience compaign have been communicated to the Viceroy (Lord Irwin) through the agency oi friends who were permitted to visit him in prison. They are, according to the "Daily Telegraph," as follow:
Gandhi recognises, in view of the strength of Conservative and Liberal opposition, that the Labour Government may not be able to guarantee Dominion status as a result of the round-table conference, but he demands that < the Government should definitely adopt a policy of substantive independence as its own at that conference, giving as a pledge amnesty to political prisoners, upon which the non-co-operation movement will be called off.
The "Daily Telegraph" editorially comments that Gandhi's programme lias been changed only to the extent of dictating a policy to the British Government instead of Parliament. Little is hoped from the parleys, and the result is nothing. Gandhi will learn that Great Britain is not prepared, under any political circumstances, to sanction, the crime of flinging India into chaos.
