Nationalist Movement Gains Im petus and Plan of Attack ,' Outlived in Speech. NEW YORK. Jun 2. fSnep.ia.1.1 Since the British following the de parture or tne prince of Wales from India undertook to stifle-the non-co-operative movement by the im- prisonment of Mahatma Gbndi and many of his followers and by other strong measures, little has been al lowed to come out of that great land to show what is really going on. Highly censored' dispatches have given only glimpses of wholesale ar rests and severe treatment of the nationalists. Much interest, therefore, attaches to a document which has come from India, a copy of the speech of Pandit K. Santaniam. the new leader of the nationalist movement in the Punjab and therefore the representative of most of its 70.000,000 Moslems, as well as the Hindu followers , of Ghandi. The speech was delivered at the meeting of the Punjab provincial con- ierence, called by the non-co-operators to adopt measures for carrying on their campaign in a manner to avoid repression. New Programme Outlined. The new programme as he outlined it and as it has been approved by the various associations is: Recruitment of . members for the congress committees and a collection of funds to bring about freedom for India. ' Removal of untouchability, or caste distinctions. Promotion of unity among all classes. Effective boycott of foreign clothes and encouragement of home spinning. Stoppage of the drink evil. Establishment of courts and arbi tration boards' independent of the imperial system, to settle disputes among natives. Pandit Santaniam dealt at length with the new British repression and charged that this policy had been ac companied by grave abuses. He said 40,000 of the leading spirits in the non-co-operation movement were held in jail in India, under distressing conditions and multitudes more had been arrested without any real cause. He made special complaint -that the Indians who refused to resort to vio lence or resistance to repression had been harshly treated. Government Attitude Changed. "We find the attitude ot the gov ernment has entirely changed, espe cially since the departure of the prince of Wales from the Indian shores," he said. "I have it on re liable authority that one of the dis- trict officers had Issued instructions to his subordinate to make a clean sweep of all the political workers in his district. "Since the new repressive policy started about a month and a half ago a number of blank warrants are issued by the magistrate to the police officials and the filling up of the names of the accused is left to their sweet will and pleasure. It can read ily be imagined what an abuse this, practice lends itself to, as it gives a wide scope to the police to terrorize Innocent neonle'and extort, nerhans. money from them by threatening them with arrest."

WASHINGTON, D. C, June 2. With the declaration that although world powers at the recent arms- conference had placed "the Han of public con demnation" on gas warfare. Senator F.orah, republican, Idaho, discussing the army appropriation today in the senate, asserted that representatives of the United States and six other powers recently had conferred in Washington with a view to extending gas warfare, thus "practically de stroying the results of the arms con ference." ' Senator Borah added that it "ap peared that Washington was the dis tributing depot" for information on the development of chemical warfare. The arms conference treaties, said the Idaho senator, had been rushed through the senate "upon the plea that the United States should take the first step toward world peace. and yet, he added, none had been rati fied by the other powers. "And I judge that they do not pro pose to ratify some," Senator Borah observed. enator Borah's statements regard ing the reported conference of rep resentatives of seven nations was based on a statement published sev eral weeks ago in a local newspaper that "nations of the world, no less than seven of them, have sought in formation from the United States on the manufacture of poison gas since the arms conference." Information to this effect was said to have been "verified" at the war department. At both the war and state depart ments, however, after Senator Borah Had made his attacks officials said they knew of no such conference having been held. Senator Borah declared that the representatives of the seven nations came here and met with the war de-nartment- "The United) States, by permitting this conference here, encourages,1' said Senator Borah, "what must in evitably result in. the complete break down of the gas treaty. I go further and say that the very fact that the seven nations came here, conferred together and interchanged views, is in violation of the spirit of the treaty."
