TURMOIL IN INDIA.
GHANDI’S CAMPAIGN. IGNORED BY AUTHORITIES. INCITEMENT TO VIOLENCE. United Pross Assn.—Elec. Tel. — Copyright. DELHI, April 8. Thousands of villagers who journeyed to Aat, in the Bombay Presidency, expecting to see Gandhi arrested were disappointed. The authorities completely ignored the Nationalist Leader. In a speech Gandhi exhorted his hearers to abandon their attitude of non-violence and to resist to the utmost the confiscation of any of the small quantity of salt he and his followers distributed. He urged women especially to defy the authorities to touch them —an action which would constitute insult in the eyes of the natives;. Demonstrators have been arrested at several places and sentenced to terms of imprisonment. A fracas between some of Gandhi s volunteers and the police at Delhi resulted in slight injuries to seven of the former, who were carried through the streets as evidence of Government’s “ repression methods.”
