INDIAN INDEPENDENCE
GANDHI’S CAMPAIGN NON-PAYMENT OF TAXES (Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Received Feb. 15, 11 a.m.) - DELHI, Feb. 14. Mr. Gandhi’s plans for the opening of the congress on independence campaign, which is being submitted to the congress working committee at Sabarmati to-day includes a proposal that the congress should not control or a civil disobedience campaign, but should give moral support to a “council of war” to control operations in selected areas. Thus the congress will be divested of responsibility for the outbreaks of violence in such areas.
Mr. Gandhi favors a campaign of non-payment of taxes in certain areas and concerted defiance of the Government's salt monopoly, the latter to include tile production of salt by the people wherever there arc natural facilities, and the organisation of dock workers in Calcutta and other ports for a refusal to haudlc foreign salt. If the congress decs not assent to the plan Mr. Gandhi will carry out the campaign himself.
