Cotton goods had been more severely boycotted than others. The boycott was now weakening over India as a whole but was still effective. In its weekly appreciation, of the situation the Government of India recorded the continuance of improvement throughput the country, the conference proceedings continuing "to attract great attention and the developments so far beino- generally regarded as hopeful. “I/ln? presentation of India’s aspirations by India delegates is much- appreciated and in m any quarters there is a recognition of the sympathetic trend of British opinion and a disposition to explore various avenues of approach to the general problem is more in evidence, but there is a natural reluctance to express even qualified approval of any particular scheme until the details have been disclosed and the implications fully comprehended.”
