“OFFER TOO VAGUE”
FUTURE OF INDIA OPINION OF GANDHI (Reed. Oct. 23, 9 a.m.) BOMBAY, Oct. 21. Mahatma Gandhi ' described Britain’s offer to India as too vague. He said that the Indian Congress wanted India treated as an independent nation. It was necessary to speak to India in the language of precision before she could be enthusiastic about participation in the war. Provided the will existed, the India Congress demands could easily be fulfilled. “This will is not evident in the Viceroy’s , Statement,” added Gandhi. “It is for the constituent assembly to decide whether India is ready for Dominion status.”
