CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE.
GANDHI'S CAMPAIGN. GOVERNMENT PRECAUTIONS, POLICE FORCE BOYCOTTED. United Press Assn.—Eloc. Tel.—CopyrlgL., (Received March 28, 10.45 a.m.) DELHI, March 27. Gandhi and his followers are likely to be given little opportunity of breaking the Salt Act as part of the campaign of civil disobedience, for the Government has employed hundreds of labourers, who, guarded by police, are engaged in destroying the salt crystals, which arc lying on the seashore at' Danmi, the spot where Gandhi proposes to inaugurate the campaign by gathering the salt without payment of revenue.■ The police and labourers are boycotted by the'villagers in the neigh-' bourhood, and have to journey ten miles to procure food. Large forces of police arc concentrating at Jalapur, where Gandhi is due to arrive in a few days. Importance is attached to the sudden departure of Sir F. H. Sykes, Governor of Bombay, for Delhi to discuss with the Viceroy the future action of the Bombay Government in re# gard to Gandhi.
