POLITICAL PRISONERS WON'T BE RELEASED
London, Feb. 16. The question of a new politi- cal situation in India consequent on the resignation of Congress Ministries in the United Pro- vinces and Bihar was raised in the House of Commons this afternoon after a recapitulation į of recent events by Lord Win- terton, Under-Secretary of State for India.
-Lard Winterton sald that the Governor General, ivho was specially responsible for preventing any grave. menace to the peace and tranquillity of India, had decided that he could not agree to an immediate and in- con- discriminate body of legally vleted
who prisoners,
included terrorists with the worst of police re- cords.
He was satisfied, and the Marquis of Zetland was in complete agreement with him, that adoption of рго- posals of the Ministries of these two Provinces would be attended by the gravest rise to peace arul tran- quillity.

GRAVE CONSEQUENCES
Haripura, Feb. 16. Mahatma Gandhi, who is at Harl- pura attending the annual Congress meeting, told Reuter this morning that the action of the Governor Gen- eral in refusing to grant an amnesty for the rest of the political prisoners, as demanded by the Bihar Ministry, might entail a crisis the consequences of which no one could foretell.

He added that the discharged of a few prisoners, even though they were crimes that included convicted of terrorism, could not endanger India's peace and tranquillity. The Mahatma said that the prisoners had assured the President of the Ministry that. their convictions had been changed since their Imprisonment, and that their only destre was to live the lte | Shanghal of peaceful citizens.-Reuter."
