COUNTERING GANDHI.
Efforts to Prevent Breach of
Salt Act.
POLICE DESTROY CRYSTALS.
v (Received 10 a.m.). .-•■■;.•• DELHI; March 27. Gandhi and his followers are likely to be given little opportunity of breaking the Salt Act as part' of their campaign of civil disobedience at Surat. The Government has employed hundreds of labourers, who are guarded by the police, to destroy the salt crystals which are lying along the seashore at Danmi, the spot where Gandhi proposes to inaugurate his campaign; by gathering salt without the payment of revenue. , The police and the labourers have been boycotted by /the villagers in the neighbourhood and have to journey ten miles to. procure food. Large forces of police are concentrating at Jalalpur, where Gandhi is due to arrive in a few days.
Importance is attached to the sudden departure of Sir Frederick Sykes, Governor of Bombay, for Delhi to discuss with the Viceroy the future action of the Bombay Government in regard to Gandhi.
