DRAWEN, Lancashire, England, Sep- tember 26.—Mahatma Gandhi, sur- rounded by the vestiges of Great Britain’s vanished textile trade with India, today turned a deaf ear to Lan- cashire’s plea that he lift the National- 1st boycott against foreign cotton goods. After hearing from the workers, the jobless spinners and from the mill owners how difficult Lancashire's lot has become, he replied that India’s lot is still harder to bear and that he and the Indian Congress party would re- main firm in their stand that India produce cioth sufficient for its own needs. Since the Delhi truce negotiatad with Viceroy Lord Irwin, the boycott has been effective not only against British goods, but against that of other ex- porting nations, he said. If the round table conference now in progress should develop & solutlm\ of India’s difficulties, he added, it is possible that some time in the future India might need more goods than she is able to produce, in which case British products would be favored over those of other nations. Afterward the mayor of Darwen said it was apparent that Gandhi is de- people first and that Great Britain must come to the realization thas Lan- cashire never will regain its lost textile trade with India. Ganhdi, today met the people who | | have been harmed most by his struggle | in_behalf of India's independenc: He found them cheerful for the most | part, however, and there was little chill in their greeting. As one man, shaking his fist in the bearded face of R Charles\ Andrews, Gandhi's friend ex- | pressed it: “You tell Gandhi that a thousand Gandhi couldn’t shake Lan- cashire off its feet.
