TALKING GANDHI OVER
RIOTS DELIVER BLOW AT INDIA’S TRADE CONVERSATIONS IN GAOL Reed. 9.5 a.m. DELHI, Friday. Sir Tej Bahadur Sapru and Mr. Jayakar, two Indian moderate leaders, asked permission to have private interviews witli Gandhi, Pandit Motilal Nehru and Pandit Jawaharl Nehru, who are npw in gaol, with a view to endeavouring to make them see reason and call off the civil disobedience movement. They said they would emphasise that they alone were responsible for the overtures and would not commit the Government in any way. They alone would be responsible if Gandhi and his friends remained intractable. The Viceroy, Lord Irwin, gave the necessary permission. Encouragement of the truth is all that moderate Indians and many members of the Indian National Congress desire. They say they are appalled at the economic losses the country will suffer if the present state of affairs continues. Mr. Schuster, finance member of the Government of India, says the drop in the customs revenue for the quarter ended June 30 was very considerable.
