DISOBEDIENCE IN INDIA
ENROLMENT BEGUN BY CONGRESS MOSLEM APPROACH TO MR GANDHI (Received March 31, 8 p.m.) ALLAHABAD, March 30. The Congress Party headquarters has ordered provincial organisations to enrol those who will sign a pledge to join a civil disobedience campaign under Mr Gandhi’s conditions. A message from New Delhi says that Mr Jinnah, president of the Moslem League, has invited Mr Gandhi to confer with him privately about partitioning India into Moslem and Hindu States. Interviewed, Mr Jinnah said he would be satisfied with Dominion status for Moslem India within the British Commonwealth. “Mr Gandhi, like me, knows India is not ready for complete independence,” he said.
