THE MOST SERIOUS OF THE INCIDENTS, IT IS REVEAL ED, OCCURRED ON APRIL 6, EXACTLY A WEEK AGO, BUT THE STORY OF THE RAMPAGE HAS ONLY JUST BEEN RE- VEALED..

Engaged in the rioting were 1 some ten thousand coolies who were engaged for the purpose of dredging operations in the Grand Canal and the trouble arose, it is understood, solely from the re- thefusal of officials to give them a day's rice allowance before they had started work.

Unexpected support for the Reich in its conflict with the German Church has materialised from "Union of German Christians."

Established in Thuringia, Meck- lenburg, Oldenburg and Luebeck, the Union has declared against the resolution of the Lutheran Council of provincial Bishops and church committees to form an in-. dependent Church administration.

“The resolution is contrary to the ruling of the Reich Church Minister," states the Union in official statement-Trans-Ocean.

GANDHI

PROPOSAL REJECTEDI

London, To-day. Mahatma Gandhi's proposal that a court of arbitration be set up to settle the Indian, con- stitutional question, has been received with little enthusiasm in London.

The Secretary for India, Lord Zetland, announced in the House of Lords yesterday that the Government would open discus- sions with the Congress Party only on condition that the party leaders show a changed attitude.

England was not willing to confer as long as Congress talked about "misunderstandings.”

Criticism of Gandhi's proposal is also made by the "Times,” which calls the plan unfeasible. Trans-Ocean.
