INDIAN NATIONALISTS.
GANDHI'S LATEST SCHEMES.
CAMPAIGN FOR INDEPENDENCE.
DELHI, Feb. 14. The plans of the Indian Nationalist leader, Gandhi, for the opening of the congress in connection with the independence campaign were to-day submitted to the Working Committee of tho National Congress at Sabarmati. They include proposals that the congress should not control or direct a civil disobedience campaign, but should give moral support to a " council of war to control operation in selected areas. In this way tho congress would be divested of responsibility for outbreaks of violence in those areas. Gandhi favours a campaign for the nonpayment of taxes in certain areas and concerted defiance of the Government's salt monopoly, the latter includo the production of salt by the' people wherever there are natural facilities, and the organisation of the dock workers at Calcutta and other ports to refuse to handle foreign salt. *
If the congress does not assent t,o tho plan Gandhi will carry out tho campaign
