Alex- ander, first Lord of Admiralty, show s. net total of $258,025,000, a decrease of $1,701,000 under the 1930 estim- ates.

A previous supplementary es- timate of $1,041,000 last July 4th was mentioned in a foot note as included in the 1030 total.

Under the estimates published to- day, the personnel of the naval ser- vices will be reduced by 3,400 officers and men to a total of 93,650. The new program for the year includes provision for commencing the follow- ing ships.

Declares That While Settlement

Prestige To The

Congress The Efforts So Far Were Far From Their Goal.

(British United Press)

NEW DELHI, India, March 5.-The new peace in India went into effect today, when the Nationalist All In- dia Congress dispatched telegrams to its branches throughout the coun- try, ordering them to call an immed- late truce in the civil disobedience campaign. Lord Irwin the Viceroy, reciprocated by announcing that the India Govt. planned to order the re- lease of some 25,000 political prison- ers. The order will be issued tomor- row. The viceroy further declared that the ordinances regarding re- strictions on the press and instiga- tion and holding of unlawful associa- tions would be wlthdrawn. The Con- gress ordered discontinuance of the campaign against payments of taxes.

These moves on both sides were in accordance with the agreement reached between 10rd Irwin and the Mahatma M. K. Gandhi earlier this week and approved by the Govern- ment and the All India Congress.

Nevertheless the provisional nature of the accord was stressed. The cir- cular telegram dispatched by the Congress leaders referred to it as the "provisional accord," and there was no doubt but that the termination of the campaign led by Gandhi was lokecl upon by the Nationalists as purely s. compromise born of present exigencies.

forts so far were far from their goal. Gandhi paid tribute to Lord Irwin for his "patience and frankness," but in the same breath declared that the recent India Round Table Confer- ence in London had not carried In- dia half way to its goal of independ- ence. He appealed to the Indian princes, the Nationalists and the radical anarchists all to unite in a common accord to permit him to at- tain that goal without violence.

An atmosphere far from complete optimism, hence, prevailed in New Delhi, despite the general signific- ance of the move. The Congress committees telegram called on all other sectional committees to “act immediately" and in accordance with the Irwin-Gandhi accord, stressing that the "strict fulfillment of our obligations is essential for the ad- vance of India. towards Swaraj (in- dependence)!’

While this is denied, the in- structlons are to dispense with all temporaries who are ernployes but not actually required.
