GANDHI'S DEATH CANNOT DEFLECT B'S PLAN

Sacrifice Seems To Be For Trifting Point. PRESS BACKS PREMIER

London, To-day. Careful examination, of Ma- hatma Gandhi's, arguments by the English press lead to a gen- eral conclusion that the Govern- inent's decision in regard to re presentations for the Depressed lasses of India cannot be de- threat. flected by his suicide.

The Times" points out that Premier MacDonald vainly sought to reason with him in an altogether admirable reply, wherein he shows that the award has merely given the Depressed Classes a limited number of spe- cial constituencies to enable them better to defend their inter- ests.

Mr. MacDonald "vainly ex- plained that far from cutting off the Depressed Classes from the Hindu world, the award gave these voters a second vote in thei general or Hindu constituencies in order to preserve their con nection with the Hindu society and encourage political, co-opera- tion between the casteless and caste Hindus."
