United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. (Received 23rd March, 11 a.mO .. DELHI, 22nd March.
An informal conference was held in the Viceroy's house at New Delhi to explore the question of the future procedure for carrying on the work of the Round Table Conference. Mr. Gandhi represented the Indian Congress, and others present included delegates from the Round Table Conference and representatives of the Indian States. The Congress position is that participation in the next London Conference is conditional on the settlement of the Hindu-Moslem problem . If settlement is impossible, the British Government may intervene to make a declaration on the question of safeguards for minorities. In an interview, Mr. Gandhi said that if Lord Sankey and Mr. Wedgwood Benn regarded the safeguards evolved by the London Conference as final in substance and. form, it was no use Congress going to London, and the second Conference as far as India's masses were concerned must fail. Mr. Gandhi doubted that the Hindu-Moslem question could be settled before the Congress session at Karachi oh Friday.
