BOYCOTT OF GOODS QUESTION IN COMMONS MINISTERIAL REPLY 1 British Official Wireless. | RUGBY, Dec. 1. tn a Parliamentary answer Mr Wedgewood-Benn said that the strength of the boycott of British goods in Ipdia varied greatly in different places, and from time to time, and cotton goods had been more severely boycotted than others. The boycott was now sveakening over India as a whole, but was still an effective body. In its weekly appreciation of the situation the Government of India recorded a continuance of the improvement throughout the-country. The Round Table Conference proceedings were continuing to attract great attention, and the developments so far were generally regarded as hopeful. “The presentation of India’s aspirations by Indian delegates is much appreciated, and in many quarters there is a recognition of the sympathetic trend of Britis opinion. A disposition to explore the 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 ?.re disclosed, and the implication fully comprehended. ”
