AGITATION BY PEASANTRY A REVIVAL POSSIBLE (United Press Association.) (By Ele-ji’-to Telegraph—Copyright.) CALCUTTA, June 19,
Significance is attached to the visit of tlie Viceroy (Lord VVillingdon) to Naini Tal, the summer headquarters of the United Provinces Government, where it is understood his Excellency has gone to study the situation in the light of the early release from gaol of Jawahar Lai Nehru and other Congress leaders, who, it is possible, will attempt, when free, a revival of the peasantry agitation similar to that of 1931, when the Irwin-Gandhi pact was deliberately broken. Another message states that little attention is paid to the latest effort at Congress showmanship in renewing the suspension of the k civil disobedience movement for a further six weeks. Very few people now remain in prison for the non-payment of taxes, and those that have been released show no desire to return to the practice. The movement is, in fact, dead.
