BRITISH POLICY IN INDIA.

Attitude Of Conservatives. EXPLAINED BY MR BALDWIN. United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, February 5. Sir Samuel Hoare, In an article in the “Morning Post’’ stresses that when Mr Baldwin said he would endeavour to implement the work of the India Round Table Conference he meant that he would work for peace, but not peace at any price. There was no intention in the mind of any Conservative that the leader should sacrifice Imperial obligations. There will be no truckling to terrorists —no treaty with men determined to drive us from India. The Conservative position was most clear, and whilst members believe an All-India Federation would prove the best system of Government, we must be satisfied that any change proposed does not endanger our obligations. Our command of the army must be clear and undisputed. Internal security and financial stability must be safeguarded. Minorities must be protected and rights services preserved. There must be no unfair economic commercial discrimination against the British trader.

MR GANDHI’S ACTIVITIES. HOPES OF FRIENDLIER. CO-OPERATION. United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright DELHI, February 5. Mr Gandhi has written urging the Viceroy to institute an official inquiry into the alleged harsh treatment of demonstrators throughout India by the Police. If the Viceroy accepts, Mr Gandhi, it is stated, will endeavour to persuade the Congress to take advantage of the Premier’s offer to India. Mr Gandhi said if the returning Round-Table Conference delegates are able to explain satisfactorily the Premier’s declaration, and if, in the light of his demands, he saw a settlement possible, he (Mr Gandhi) is ready to call off civil disobendience. While the Assembly is debating a resolution urging the Government to adopt a policy of conciliation towards the Congress, the civil disobedience movement continues unabated, and even more intensive in parts of the country. Congress leaders in Bombay have started again the illicit manufacture of salt. Two hundred demonstrators picketed shops selling English cloth. Many were arrested after a clash with the police.
