INTERVIEW WITH VICEROY. ALLEGED LACK OF FAITH. WARDHA. October 4. Mr Gandhi in a statement said the Viceroy at his interview was all courtesy but unbending. He believed in the correctness of his judgment and again showed no faith in Nationalist India. “The British are 'showing extraordinary bravery on the battlefield, but lack of courage to take risks in the moral sphere,” he said. “I often wonder whether the latter has any place in British politics. British statesmen have failed to do the right thing in India when it was easy.” CHANDRA BOSE. CHARGE UNDER DEFENCE REGULATIONS. LONDON,'October 3.
