NEW DELHI, Feb. 17-A most aig- ilfiosnt molu toward the basis for _ peace in the fight against British rule was taken today when the Mahatma M. K Gandhi conferred for four hours with Lord Irwin. the Viceroy.

They were lmderstood to have dis-`

cussed the Governments policy to ward the Nationalist movement and the demands by Gandhi and his fol- lowers for a greater degree of self- govemment. Gandhi appeared cp- timlstlc after the conversations. He ssid the talks would be continued to~ morrow. Lord Irwin indicated that the ques-

tion of peace lay ir1 the hands oi Gandhi, and that he was hopeful the conference would result in a cessation of the campaign against British rule. I am satisfied, even optimistic, the iiiiis biswn msn ssid, sddisg that he will talk again with the Viceroy tomorrow. The conversations could have been

ltarted in the morning, but were de- layed for.a few hours to enable the aged and bent Mahatma to finish his daily stunt. of spinning, a rits =hi<,l‘. 1-., has r.-..-.‘,~,j..,‘_-1_4r_=;f_ ta :9mbol- ize the Nationalist policy of boycot- ting foreign cloth.
