INDIA’S INDEPENDENCE
GANDHI’S NEW CAMPAIGN. (By Cable—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Received February 15, 10.30 a.m.) DELHI, February 14. Gandhi’s plans for the''opening Congress on the Independence campaign, which is being submitted to the Congress working committee at Sabarmati to-day, include a proposal that the Congress should not control or direct, the civil disobedience campaign, but should give moral support to the “Council of War,” to control the operation in selected areas, thus the Congress would be divested of responsibility for outbreaks of violence in such areas. Gandhi favours 'a campaign of nonpayment of taxes in certain areas, and concerted defiance of the Government’s salt monopoly, the latter to include production of salt by people whereever there are natural facilities and organisation. The dock workers at Calcutta and other ports are to refuse to handle foreign salt. If. Congress does not assent to the plan, Gandhi will carry out the campaign himself.
