Scope and content
News of the Prince of Wales’s visit [to Bombay] will be found in Lloyd’s reports. Things are quiet there now, though bitterness between different sections of the population may cause further trouble. The Khilafat movement is still active across the country in bringing about hartals and intimidating the public, particularly in Delhi, where volunteers are picketing foreign cloth shops. Reading has sent for the Chief Commissioner, as strong steps must be taken. Council has decided to urge Local Governments to take all available means to prevent disorder. They are awaiting Gandhi’s next step. He has arranged to reply to a deputation of Mohammedans on Saturday.
