§ 49. Sir NICHOLAS GRATTAN-DOYLEasked the Prime Minister whether a reply has been made, and of what nature, to the cablegram sent to him from 102 clergymen of various denominations in the United States calling upon him to seek a way of amicable settlement with Mahatma Gandhi?
§ The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Ramsay MacDonald)No, Sir; no reply has been sent.
§ Sir N. GRATTAN-DOYLEDoes not the right hon. Gentleman think that it is desirable to send a reply and that in 15 that reply there should be an admonition of these well-intentioned people, saying that we are capable of running our own affairs in this country?
§ Mr. ARTHUR MICHAEL SAMUELDoes not the right hon. Gentleman think that a message sent to us in those terms does harm to the amicable arrangements in these countries?
