BY the Associated Press.
NEW DELHI, Feb. 20.-The Brit
ish Government today reiterated its
position that the responsibility for
Mohandas K Gandhi's hunger
strike rested solely with him and
that any decision to end it must
be made by the Indian nationalist
leader himself.
AS the 73-year-old Gandhi COM
pleted the 18th day of his 21-day
fast in the guarded palace Of the
Aga Khan at PoOna, the govern
ment issued communique in Bonn
bay saying his condition had
changed considerably for the worse
and was regarded as grave.
The secretary to the viceroy, Lord
Iinlithgow, pointed out in letter
to TejUahadur Sapru, moderate
leader, that the government had set
forth its position clearly February

IF he fasts while in detention he
does so solely on his own respon-
sibility and at his own risk" the
government said.
The conference of leaders also
decided today to send resolutions
demanding the immediate and IN
conditional release of Mr.. Gandhi
to Prime Minister Churchill and
William Phillips, United States AM
bassador to India. Mr.. Sapru con-
, ferred with Mr.. Phillips before the
meeting.
On Washington, Secretary Of
State Hull conferred with Brit
ish Ambassador Lord Halifax and
expressed American concern over
the situation in India, but cor
respondents were given to under
stand that it in no way meant
American intervention
A spokesman for the conference,
which included industrialists, law
yers, educators and several Britons,
said the best hope for a reconcllla-
ton between the British and Indian
peoples depended on Mr.. Gandhis
release.

Chakravarthi Rajagopalachari,
Indian Nationalist Congress leader,
visited Ambassador Phillips yester-
day and said afterward that If Mr.
Gandhi should die the bitterness in
India would be directed against
Americans as we'll as the British.
Phillips can do nothing here,
he said, adding that Americans
could do nothing to influence the
British in India.
Mr.. Gandhi's youngest son, De-
vidas, and other members of his
family arrived at Poona tonight to
remain at his bedside.
