Lancashire's Poverty Held
Nothing I4ke That of. India
"The steps I took," he said,
were part of my duty toward the
largest, army of unemployed in
the world, India's starving 1 mil
lions,' besides whose pauperism the
poverty of Lancashire dwindles in
insignificance.
The Mahatma was wholly un
disturbed during his tour about
Darwen. He had a bodyguard of
plalnclothesmen,' but they were
not needed. In addition, police
were stationed at intervals of 50
feet for a mile or so along every
road near the house in which he
is staying. '

for his simple lunch he encounter

of the. hardships undergone, by
the district and that it depressed
him to think: he had . had some
share, - even If unintended, In
bringing about distress.
But India, he said, must stand
firm on the determination to pro
duce : her own cloth. He pointed
out that slnee the Delhi truce the
boycott has been effective not
only against Britain but against
all nations. And he promised that,
If the present round table confer-"!
