INDIA’S “WAR OF INDEPENDENCE.”
Gandhi’s New Campaign. LEADER ADVOCATES VIOLENCE. (Unite* Press Association—By SI .elegraph—Copyright.) Received April 9, 7.45 p.m. DELHI, April 8. Thousands of villagers who journeyed to the Bombay Presidency, expecting to see Mr Gandhi arrested, have been disappointed. The authorities are completely ignoring the Mahatma, who exhorted his hearers to abandon their attitude of non-violence and resist to the utmost the confiscation of even the smallest quantity of salt he and his followers have distributed. Gandhi is urging the women especially to defy the authorities to touch them, which would constitute a deadly insult in native eyes. Demonstrators, arrested in several places, were sentenced to terms of imprisonment. A fracas between Mr Gandhi’s volunteers and the police in Delhi, resulted in slight injuries to seven of the former, who were carried through the streets as evidence of the “Government’s repression” methods.
