The conference of political leaders in Bombay was held in private,' and was attended by over 200 delegates, representative of all shades of opinion throughout India. Sir Sankaran Nair presided. * ‘ Pundit Malaviya declared that the non-co-operation movement was spreading as the result of the Government’s mistakes and policy of wholesale repression, which he declared could not be justified. A resolution was drafted after long discussion with a view to securing a fur-> ther round table conference, which it was thought would be acceptable both to Ghandi and the Government, but Gandhi refused to subscriba to the resolution, demanding as a preliminary the release of all the agitators and a change in the Government’s policy.
