GANDH| REFUSES
TO LIFT BOYCOTT
Tells Textile Workers in
Lancashire That midas
Lot Is Harder.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DRAWEN, Lancashire, England, Sep
tef1ber 26.-Mahatma Gandht, sur
rounded by the vestiges of Great
Britain's vanished textile trade with
India, today turned deaf ear to Lam
cashire's plea that he lift the National
list boycott against foreign cotton goods.
After hearing from the workers, the
jobless spinners and from the mill
owners how difficult LancashireS lot
has become. he replied that 1ndlas lou
is still harder to bear and that ne and
the Indian Congress party would re-
main firm In their stand that India
produce cloth sufficient for Its own
needs.
Since the Delhi truce negotiated 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 a solution OF
midas difficulties, he added, itI 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 Gandht is de-
termined to ease the lot OF his own
people first and that Great Britain
must come to the realization thai Lam
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 midas independence.
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 Rev.
Charles Andrews, Gandhis friend ex-
pressed it: You tell Gandhi that a
thousand Gandhi couldn't shake Lam
cashire of its feet"

TOUR PLANS

Meanwhile Eagle Waits Go
Sign From MeteoroIogists

NOME, Alaska, Aug. IA G.N.SO.
The globe-girdling Lindberghs, de-
layed here by unfavorable weather
for more than two days, early
today hoped to get a "go" signal
from meteorologists.
Announcement that the noted
couple will attempt to circle the
globe, continuing to Europe from
Tokyo, was made by Colonel
Lindbergh.
Eventually the pair will termi-
nate their vagabondage back in
New York, their starting place.
To Tour China, Too
Before leaving the Orient, how
ever, they plan to tour parts of
China. They will probably cross
the Atlantic by way of the Azores.
Everything was in readiness to-
day for the Lindbergh's perilous
hop of 1,067 miles across the
Bering Sea to Karaginsk Island.
Five hundred gallons of gaso-
line was stored in the Seaplane,
which had been thoroughly in
spected. The fliers indicated an
eagerneSs to be off.
That the radio with which
Mrs. Lindbergh will contact the
outside world during the long
trip is in working order was as
Sured by tests she conducted with
the station at st. Paul Island,
Alaska.
Weather Clears
Most Of Alaska and a large
part of the Bering Sea yesterday
were overcast by fog and clouds.
There was a heavy rainfall. Fly
ing conditions farther west and
in Siberia were reported good,
however.
When they arrive at KaraginSk,
the Lindberghs will repIenish
their fuel supply from a cache
there. From that island they
will complete their flight to
Tokyo in two or more hops.
While waiting favorable
weather here, Lindy and Anne
have inspected Nome's gold fields
and, witnessed an Eskimo wolf
dance" and a kyak race.
