§ Sir S. HOAREI am unable to add to the answer which I gave to the hon. Member on the 10th February.
§ Mr. WILLIAMSDo we understand from the right hon. Gentleman, then, that peaceful propaganda for buying Indian goods is actually regarded as civil disobedience?
§ Sir S. HOARENo; it depends on the special circumstances of the case.
