UNREST IN INDIA
“NO MEETING GROUND” CONGRESS PRESIDENT’S VIEWS VICE-REGAL DECLARATION (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) LONDON, August 21 A message from Wardha, India, says the Congress President, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, made a statement that after consulting the Works Committee, he informed the Viceroy, the Marquess of Linlithgow, that there was no meeting ground on the basis of the Vice-Regal declaration of August 8 for a discussion on British policy, and added that if a situation arose in which the Viceroy thought a meeting would be advantageous, he was always willing to attend. At Bombay Jawaharlal Nehru stated that the arrest of Krishna Dutta Paliwal, President of the United Provinces Congress Committee, for a provocative speech, was a challenge and a warning. “The trial approaches,” he said. “The cause we have loved again beckons. We have no prizes in store and can look forward only to hardship, suffering and a long parting from those we love.”
