INDAN DELEGATON FAES DSRUPTION Gandhi, Threatening to Bolt, Makes Taxation Demand. Moslems Also Balk. By the Assoclated Press. BOMBAY, India, .August 11.—Almost | on the eve of the departure of dele- tes, two of the most vital elements | India threatened today ‘o wreck | the unity and representative character of the second round table conference in London, which is expected to give Great Britain's restless dependency its new charter of freedom. With a dramatic swiftness which | must have taken the breath away from f Viceroy Willingdon, Mahatma Gardhi | served notice on the Simla government | that he would not go to. London urless | he is given positive assurance that dur- ing his absence peasants who are in arrears with taxes will not be placed | under duress by revenue authorities | and that there will be no further evic- tions for default in land revenue or rents. | Moslems and C. of C. Balk. | Gandhi's virtual ultimatum followed | elose upon Mohammedan ieaders’ de- cision to withhold their 19 delegates from participating in the conference | unless their demands for representation | in the projected central legislature and | provincial assemblies were granted and | unless the Minorities Committec of the | conference was convened before the Federal Structures Committee, Scarcely had the government received these wholly unexpected threats from the Nationalist and Mohamm | ments when it appeared likely that the | werful Federation of Indian Cham-| rs of Commerce might boycott the | hatma’s going, a_communication was received from Sir Ernest Hoson, acting Governor of the Bombay ‘presidency, insisting that the government had pur- sued and would pursue in the future | only normal methods in collecting land | taxes and revenue from peasants and discla!ming any intention to use re- pressive measures in dealing with the | delinquents. | Gandhi Gives Ultimatum. | Mr. Hotson's letter was cmrlcur-’ ized by the cabinct as “wholly unsatis- | factory and at variance with the actual facts.” Immediately thereafter Gandhl dis- patched telegrams to Lord Willingdon and Home Secretary Emerson, saying he could not go to London unless the government changed its attitude to- ward the peasants. Unless the Simla government. which has been in telegraphic communication with London, ylelds at the last mo- ment to Gandhi’s command, it was believed there was mo likelihood that he would sail with the other delegates next Saturday, if at all. Vallabhi Patel, president of the In- dian Nationalist Congress, told the As- sociated Press “The situation is extremely serious. You may say categorically that Gandhi will not go to London unless the gov- ernment gives us definite guarantees that the peasantry will not be further molested for taxes which their desti- tute situation renders it utterly impos- sible for them to pay.” MARE LEADS.
