Gandhi Names Conditions to Attend Congress
In Bombay August 18, telegraphic talks between Viceroy Willingdon and Governor Sir Ernest Hotson discuss Gandhi’s latest offer to travel to London if an impartial inquiry into Delhi pact breaches is held. Government may sanction such an inquiry if Gandhi does not demand every minor dispute be investigated, a move seen as boosting chances for the second round table conference. Gandhi doubts departure but signals desire for justice, while Willingdon weighs whether to support arbitration or inquiry. The government stresses it cannot recognize outside bodies between state and people, especially on land revenue and related duties.
