Mahatma Collects Salt at Surat Government Seeks to Suppress Move mcnt Without Disturb anCeS.

Surat. Bombay. India, April tF Moving to new battlefront, Ma hatma Gardhi preached his doctrine of civil disobedience and passive re- sistance to British authority today at Bhimrad.
 A considerable gathering of vil- lagers, volunteers, and visitors from Surat listened attentively and hailed him, Hong live Gandhi." when he walked onto lands inundated by the tides and collected salt in violation of the British monopoly
 Each then followed suit, taking a small quantity of salt from the marshy land. A striking feature of the demonstration was q chorus which sang seoitious songs. Gandhi's journey hero was by train. He was accompanied by his son, Manilal Gandhi.
 The revolt against the British law is gaining ground daily. There was additional evidence today from vari- ous parts of Gujerat of further civil disobedience and of participation of Indian women in spectacular dcmon- strations.
 Objects to Salt Seizure
 The Mahatma has become annoyed at tactics of the British authorities in seizing the salt the nationalist volunteers arc collecting. He ad- dressed a message to the people of Kathiwar in which he said:
 What is going on at Dholera where the police have seized the contraband salt is intolerable. It is sheer vulgarity to snatch salt from the Satyagrahis (nationalist volun- teers). It is my. earnest desire that the Satyagrahis should not part with their salt in spite of the most severe injury to their hands. But they should not use countcr-forcc.
 At Aat yesterday Gandhi told his followers they should lay down their lives before giving up their salt: If your fists arc the fists of Satyagrahi with the strength of God in them they cannot be opened" he said.
