He listened attentively to the proceedings but took no part in them, although occasionally he wrote a brief question and handed it to the Chairman, Lord Sankey; who wrote his answer and handed It back.
Lard Sankey's Welcome
Lord Sankey extended a welcome to three new delegates not present at the last meeting, the Gaekwar of Baroda, Gandhi and Pandit Malaviya. Their presence, he said, greatly strengthened the representative character of the committee, and he was convinced that with patience and good will such as had been displayed during the carilor work of the Committee, a settlement would be reached.
Their duty, he went on, was to make suggestions and to examine thele acceptability. He did not anticipate anything in the nature of, an ultimatum from any quarter, but. he would remind the Committee that the time for ultimatumà camo, if- at all, at the end not at the be- ginning of the, negotiations.
