unless the Minorities Committee OF the
conference was convened before the

Scarcely had the government received
these wholly unexpected threats from
the Nationalist and Mohammedan ele-

powerful Federation of Indian Cham

insisting that the government had pur-

only normal methods in collecting land

Immediately thereafter Gandhi dis

he could not go to London unless the

Unless the Simla government, which

Vallabhi Patel. president Of the In

You may say categorically that Gandhi
will not 90 to London unless the gov

that the peasantry will not be further
molested for taxes which their deSti-
