CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE
Calling-off Motion Passed by
Indian Congress CONDITIONS ATTACHED Official Wireless. 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 that an honourable agreement is reached as the 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 unconditional abandonment of civil disobedience, which it is stated was earlier favoured by a majority of the 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 (Received July 17, 8.45 p.m.) Calcutta, July 17. The Viceroy has refused to grant Mr Gandhi an interview.
