INDEPENDENCE
DEMAND MADE
BY GANDH|
lndia's Leader in HaIt.Hour
Talk at Round Table; Asks
Full Freedom for People

LONDON. Sept. ia categort-
cal demand for complete indie
pendence for India in all branches
of political and governmental af.
fairs was voiced today by Ma.
hatma M. K. Gandhi. Indian Ma.
tionalist leader. speaking at the
round.table conference.
The demand was made in such
gentle, nonaggressive tones, ac-
companied by the most humble of
mannerisms on the part Of
Gandhi. that had the inflexibillty
of his will and his power over the
millions of Indians not been in
disputably proved. it scarcely
could have been called a demand.
But those gathered around the
huge table in st. James Palace
were under no illusion as to the
strength of will and the potential
power back of that frail, brown,
incongruous figure from whence
it came. Said Gandhi:
81 am here to put forth the
claim on behalf Of the congress
(the Indian Nationalist Con-
gress) in the gentlest but also
the firmest manner possible,
and to prosecute that claim with
all the strength and energy
can command.
"If you can convince me to
the contrary, or show me that
my claim is inimical to the in
tereSts of those dumb millions,
/ would personally revise it. l
am open to conviction. But.
even so, would have to ask my
principals consent to revision
before it could become an useful
agent of the congress"
Remains Seated
Gandhi remained sitting while
he spoke. He held the center Of
attention through 80 minutes Of
quiet, unhurried statement of his
case. Only his bright eyes behind
their thick lense glasses betrayed
the intense emotion which charged
the small, brown body.
Gandhi based his demand for
independence upon the resolution
of the Karachi congress, which
he characterized as the Oldest
political body in India, repre-.
senting all Indian interests,
creeds, and castles.
The independence which India
requires, he said, must be "Purna
Swaraj," meaning complete in
dependence. including control Of
the army, foreign affairs,
finances, taxation, and economic
policies.
Proposes Tribunal
He proposed the establishment
of "an impartial tribunal to
scrutinize the financial transac-
tions of the British governments
in India; also to examine and
assess the obligations Of India
to England" He continued:
"You will find that the Con-
gresS contemplated q partner
ship between India and Britain.
But the connection was to be
such as should exist between
two absolute peoples.
"Time was when I prided my.
self at being called q British
subject. Now / would far
rather be called a rebel than a
subject aspired. and still
aspire, to be q citizen, not in
an empire but In a common
wealth i'm partnership, IL posi-
bIe-if God wills it, an in
disOluble partnership, but not q
partnership superimpOsed upon
one nation by another"
