INDIA CONGRESS WEAKENS
DISOBEDIENCE CAMPAIGN CONDITIONAL SURRENDER HONOURABLE AGREEMENT AN INTERVIEW REFUSED British Official Wireless. Rec. 5.5 p.m. Rugby, July 15. The conference of the Indian Congress Party last night passed a resolution in favour of calling off the civil disobedience campaign, provided an honourable agreement is reached as a result of negotiations between the Viceroy • and Gandhi. The session was held in secret, but the newspapers state that Gandhi's speech in support of the motion resulted in the rejection of a proposal favouring unconditional abandonment of civil disobedience, which it is stated was earlier favoured by a majority of the Congress. Reports state that Gandhi has telegraphed asking the Viceroy for an interview. There is, however, reason to believe the well known policy of the Government to refuse to negotiate while the civil disobedience movement remains the official policy of the Congress is unchanged. A later report states that the Viceroy has refused to allow Gandhi an interview.
