“Gandhi’s civil disobedience campaign does not represent the true feelings of this country,” said Lord Linlithgow, addressing the Associated Chambers of Commerce. “Gandhi thinks that both Congressmen and non-Congressmen should urge the people to refrain from assisting the war effort because it might involve India’s participation in bloodshed.. We cannot subscribe to that proposition. I am convinced that India is united in detestation of Hitlerism, and all it stands for.”
Lord Linlithgow said he sympathised with the idea of a National Government for India, and added that he was satisfied the offer that Britain made on August 8- represented, closer than any other scheme, the' wishes for a National Government. .
