UNREST IN INDIA.
GANDHI’S ULTIMATUM. CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE. LETTER TO VICEROY. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Delhi, Feb. 4. Mr. Gandhi has written to Viscount Reading, stating that it was originally intended to start civil disobedience in the Brdoliaauratt district as a sign of national revolt against the Government’s criminality. The step was postponed on account of the Bombay riots. Meanwhile a virulent repression started in many, parts of the country. Mr. Gandhi then repeated his old arguments emphasising that mass civil disobedience was now an imperative duty, but for the present will be confined to Baroli under his (Gandhi’s) personal leadership, though he may give his consent to a similar action in Guntur.
The letter ends practically with ar ultimatum that unless the Viceroy accepts Gandhi’s terms and issues a manifesto within seven days direct action will commence. —Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
