Rec. Dec. 1, 5.5 p.m. LONDON, Monday. The Cabinet sat for three hours until midnight when Mr. Ramsay MacDonald resumed the presidency of the Conference. Mr. Gandhi stated that the Indian National Congress represented the spirit of rehellion or whatever name they liked to call it, but they want independenee. "I do not- want to break the bond between Great Britain and India," he said, "but the bond must be based on freedom. I do not want to revive eivil disobedience; I want to convert the truce into a lasting peace. There cannot be any solution while foreign rul'e wants the Indian princes to becorne constitutional rulsrs like King George." Mr. Gandhi then appealed to the British Government not *to be blind to the changed India or to the writing on the wall. Mr, Grinavasa Sastfi appealed to Mr. Gandhi not to return to the arid field of non-co-operation. "Your duty," he said, "is with us." Mr. MacDonald at 2.15 a.m. described Mr. Sastri's appeal as irresistable and announced that the conference would adjourn until 11,30 a.m.
