CANDHI CHEERED
BY VAST CROWD
IN FRENCH PORT
Mahatma, Thinner Than
Ever, GreetS Reporters
at MarSeiIIes.
United Press

81 United Press
MARSEILLES, France, Sept. IL
The Mahatma Gandhi, the Great
Soul" bearing the blessing Of mil
lions Of indian, arrived here today
en- route TO the Indian round table
conference at London.
The Mahatma, clad in his Gus
tomary loin cloth, with a scarf
thrown loosely across his shoulders
and a watch dangling from his
waist, travelled second class from
Bombay on the P. 81 o. liner Raj
putana. He will travel across France
by train to a channel port and con-
tinue to London, where he will ar
rive Saturday.
Gandhi was welcomed by q huge
crowd. There were hundreds of
kilograms and other messages for
him. Officers and stewards of the
Rajputana, officials of the steam
ship line, and local police had diff
ficulty keeping the mob behind
police lines,
Thinner Than Ever
A hundred newspapermen and
photographers fought their way
through the crowd to the Rajput-
ana's gangplank.
He talked in cultured English
and frequently laughed and joked
with reporters. His legs appeared
more spindly and his body and arms
thinner than ever.
Again questioned regarding the
new British government, he said,
II can only hope that there will be
no change of policy so far as it con-
Germs Britains attitude toward
India's independence"
Gandhi was accompanied by his
son Devidas Gandhi, Miss Slade, his
English disciple and daughter On
the late Admiral Slade, who looked
after his scant luggage, and Indian
advisors.
Little Hope for Success
Il am completely out Of touch
with developments during the two
weeks we were on our way, but I
can see no reason to have more
hope than when 1 left Bombay"
Gandhi said. He has maintained
that no important results may be
hoped for from the London meet
ing.
Being an optimist, should have
high hopes of accomplishing my
mission, but can not see Indian
independence on the immediate no.
rizon. However, I have faith in
God and humanity. God will use
me for the service of India"
Gandhi ridiculed charges of his
enemies that he is going to London
on Bonded knees.
"They are crippled but not bent;
but then, am a crippled man and
it is only natural that a crippled
nation should have crippled dele
gate" he said.
Gandhi seldom was seen during
the voyage from Bombay, passengers
aboard the Rajputana said. He
spent most of his time in study in
his cabin.
