COMMUNAL DECISIONS
PROTEST
CORRESPONDENCE WITH PREMIER
London, Sept. 12.
THE MAHATMA GANDHI HAS DECIDED TO "FAST UNTO DEATH" as a protest against the British Government's solution of the problem of the Depressed Classes in the communal decision recently announced.
The fast will commence, Gandhi says, on September 20. The probabilities are that he will be released from prison on that date. ·
Gandhi has been engaged in correspondence with the Prime Minister, Mr. Ramsay MacDonald, and the Secretary of State for India, Sir Samuel Hoare, touching the problem of the De- pressed Classes.Gandhi maintains that the Government's solution is no remedy for their crushing degradation and his decision to fast follows the inability of the British Government to alter their decision.
In his final message, Mr. Ramsay MacDonald ex- presses regret at Gandhi's decision and says that the Government's decision must stand. He points out that it was reached as a means of safeguarding the rights and interests of the Depressed Classes.
