EXTREMISTS IN INDIA.
Disobedience Campaign. GANDHI’S CESSATION TERMS. United Press Association— By Eiactrlc Telegraph —Cooyright (Received August 19. 9.50 p.m.) LONDON, August 19. Gandhi’s terms for the cessation of the civil disobedience campaign have been communicated to the Viceroy through the agency of friends, who were permitted to visit him in prison. The terms are, according to the “Daily Telegraph" as follows:—Gandhi recognises in view of the strength of the Conservative and Liberal Opposition, that the Labour Government may not be able to guarantee Dominion status as a result of a round-table conference, but demands that the Government should definitely adopt a policy of substantive independence as its own at that conference, giving as a pledge amnesty to political prisoners, upon which the non-co-operation movement will be called off. The “Daily Telegraph” editorially comments that Gandhi's programme has been changed only to the extent of dictating a policy to the British Government, instead of Parliament. Little is hoped from the parleys. Gandhi will learn that Britain is not prepared, under any political circumstances, to sanction the crime of flinging India into chaos.
