Calcutta, India, Aug. 4.--According
to reports circulating in well informed
circles here Mr.. Ghandi, the founder
and leader of the "nonco- operative"
movement. and Lord Reading, the new
Viceroy of India, have reached an un-

will drop their policy of taking no

their best to make the new reform
government a success, and the British
Will dissolve the present Parliament,
calling a new election so that the
nationists will have a voice in the

1t is said that Mr.. Ghandi was well
satisfied with the result of his con-
ference with the ylceroy and is doing
his utmost to bring his followers ia
fall in line with the new policy. He
wants to prove to Great Britain that
India is capable of government
and he feels that If his followers de-
sire, they can influence the British to
grant it before the expiration of the
ten year probation originally fiXeC

In recent speech at Bombay Mr.
Ghandi said he was fighting for a
parliamentary government With con-

revenue, etc, and that he would be
content with dominion self-govern-

whether the Ministers were natives
