OF NEHRU GROUP WINS FASCISTS " Radical Wing Demands Complete Freedom CALCUTTA, India, Dec, 28,—The failure of the various groups in the 4 eundian legislature to come to an agreement as to the policy to follow , Tegarding the national independence movement will make it necessary to y hold a special session of the Na- tional Congress on Saturday. While the upper house of the legislature has agreed to co-operate with the Simon Commission, at pres- ent in India on a mission frem the + British government to attempt to appease the nationalists, the lower |, »house, or more popular body, has refused to pledge such co-operation. " At today’s meeting of ihe house subjects committee, Mahatma Gan- + dhi, anostle of non-violent non-co- operation, who had formerly stood out for independence. deseited this stand and introduced a resolution favoring the acceptance of the Nehru constitution, whict would ac- p cept a dominion status for India. Gandhi made the provision that if the British government does not ac- » cept the constitution before the end ef 1989, his pacifist policy should be revised. The move radical sections of the nationalists, however, will not com- promise on a dominion status, but demand complete independence. The group led by Srininvasa Tyengar, while not supporting Gandhi, would * accept the Nehru constitution as , only an intermediate stage, they 1h the in demonstrations, pretesting the p1 meanwhile popular mass , ence of the Simon Commission, take place everywhere Simon his group travel, _.BIG PLANS FOR ” SDAILY?

Loudon Does Not Reply to Litvinov Letter GENEVA, Dec. 28.—Another fake prenaratory disarmament conference of the League of Nations will mect in April, announces Dr, E. Loudon, | its president. Loudon issued the | usual declaration that the govern- ments had composed their differ- ences in private to the point where | this preparatory conference could ' fix a date for the first General Di armament Conference, to meet some |time in 1930, | The League has been holding such preparatory conferences for e years now, several each year du most of that time, and the result in anything more tha ying for position in the n ermy race for power and increased naval forces, and give an op’ tunity for clever diplomacy in ing alliances. The United & although not a member of League, has participated the in many | of them, and will probably be rep- lyesented again. The League has before it as un- finished business the proposal of | the Union of Socialist Soviet Repub- lics for, first, complete disarmament, a fifty per cent reduction in armaments. Dr. Loudon and the representa- s who | have commented on this proposal assume without argument that will of course be rejected by the | ist nations. Dr. Lox tion that the gov jhave this time agreed indicates, |they say, that some formula for re- |iecting the only sincere d a- jment proposal likely to appe |the meeting has been decided upon Won’t Answer Litvinov. | President Loudon of the commis- sion has in no way indicated the commission's response to the letter lof Maxim Litvinov, Vice-Commi sar of Foreign Affairs for the Soviet Union, who demanded that the di: armament commission be called im- | mediately to discuss the Soviet pro- pesole for complete disarmament. In spite of Litvinov’s demand that | the negotiations be made public, that |no secret parleys be conducted, all | \the preliminary proceedings have been marked by utmost secrecy. | Another difficult point is the An- | |glo-French naval accord, which has } | been called a violation of the League | theory by the two principal coun- tries in it. | The meeting is preceded by és | meeting of Foreign Ministers | | Stresseman of Germany, Briand of France and Chamberlain of Eng- land at Lugano last month. | FREIGHTER REFLOATED.
