CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE IN INDIA.
—♦- DECISION OF CONGRESS. CONDITIONAL ABANDONMENT. I.F.HIVIiU OFFICIAL V. IKELEsS.) RUGBY, July 15. The conference of the Indian Congress party passed a resolution last night in favour of calling off the civil disobedience campaign provided an honourable agreement was reached as a result of negotiations between the Viceroy and Mr Gandhi. The session was held in secret, but the newspapers state that Mr Gandhi's speech in support of this resolution resulted in the rejection of a proposal favouring the unconditional abandonment of civil disobedience, which, it is stated, was earlier favoured by the majority of the members of Congress. Reports state that Mr Gandhi has telegraphed asking the Viceroy for an interview. There is, however, reason to believe that the well-known policy of the Government to refuse to negotiate while the civil disobedience movement remains the official policy of the Congress is unchanged. INTERVIEW REFUSED BY VICEROY. (Received July 17, 8.26 p.m.) CALCUTTA, July 17. The Viceroy has refused to grant Mr Gandhi an interview.
