DELHI, April 6

Gandhi easily leads tbe field in amassing honours in bis civil disobedience campaign. Ho bad the satisfaction of producing over a ton of salt, which by no means is palatable and comes under the Government edict as unfit for human consumption. The authorities are ignoring Gandhi’s efforts and greatly to his disappointment, lie still remains a free man.

The police, however, took swift action in another district.of Bombay where they arrested Katari, one of Gandhi’s chief lieutenants, and fiftyone volunteers.

Reports from oilier parts of India prove the opening of the campaign was reduced to a farce.
