INDIAN UNREST
UNITY CONFERENCE AT WORK GANDHI ASKED TO CEASE FAST. (UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.—COITRk/ut.) (RIOTER'S TELEGRAM.) DELHI, 29th September. At the Unity Conference, representing various Indian sections, speeches were made by tho leaders deploring the Hin-du-Moslem quarrels, which they claimed had undone the past twenty years' work towards unity. A resolution was adopted condemning the internecine quarrels, and assuring Gandhi that the country would do its ■utmost in an endeavour to enforce his principles. This decision was conveyed to Gandhi with the request that he should break his fast. The Metropolitan of India has also written to Gandhi pointing out that his fast having secured its object—the stirring of men of all parties to seek a true basis of unity—it should be abandoned, because if it proves fatal it would estrange rather than conciliate men. So_ far Gandhi has refused to abandon his fast.
