INDIAN CONTROVERSY
POLITICAL PRISONERS VICEROY'S STATEMENT MAHATMA GANDHI'S REPLY (Received February 24, 5.5 p.m.) , BOMBAY, Feb. 23 "The Marquess of Linlithgow's statement of yesterday is special pleading by an unworthy personage who possesses unheard of powers," said Mahatma Gandhi, Indian Nationalist leader, to-day. "The right of examining the cases of political prisoners belongs to the responsible Ministers and the Governors' duty is to advise the Ministers on questions of broad policy and to warn them of the danger of consequences, after which they should leave the Ministers free. "The Ministers will find difficulty in shouldering their responsibilities unless the question is decided in their favour.® Nevertheless, the Viceroy has left the door open for the Governors, to negotiate with the Ministers."
