PRISONERS FREED

REGARDED AS WEAKNESS ■ M INDIANS DEMONSTRATE DOWN WITH UNION JACK TROUBLE AHEAD IF GANDHI DOES NOT ACT Press Association. —Copyright. (Reed. 8.35 a.m.) CALCUTTA, March 1). A thousand political prisoners released from the Yeravda gaol at Poona regarded their freedom as a huge victory and shouted at every European, "Down with the Union Jack!" and "We will always boycott the British!" None of the prisoners knew the terms of the agreement and were allowed to return to their provinces with anti-British feelings predominating. It is certain that, unless Gandhi pays attention to this phase by issuing definite orders to his followers to make the terms known, the agreement will be a failure.
