INDIAN POLITICS.

—_* SWARAJIST POLICY. (W CABLE—PBESS ASSOCIATION—COPTMGHT.) (nUTBB'S TSLIOKAMS.) DELHI, April 21. An important conference between the Swarajists who had withdrawn from the Legislature on the ground of the unsatisfactory nature of the Government's response to the demand for a further advance to the Swaraj and Responsivists, who advocate entering the Legislatures in order to advance the attainment of the Swaraj, met at the instance of Gandhi in an endeavour to .arrive at a common formula upon which to work. An agreement was reached which the executive of. the National Congress will be asked to ratify, providing that if Ministers in the provinces are given given the requisite power, responsibility and initiative, the porties adhering to the agreement will work for the Swaraj through the Legislatures, otherwise they will refuse to accept office and will reject supply; V As a result of persistent refusal of Ministers' salaries by the Swarajist majority in the Central Provinces, the Council of the Government of India, with the sanction of the Secretary of State, has suspended the Dyarchical Administration till the end of January, 1927, when fresh elections will bring new control into being.
