salt? all right -- he's breaking the law. what will he be depriving us of, two rupees of salt tax? don't patronize me, charles. and that's the basis of this "declaration of independence"? general edgar is right -- ignore it. mr. gandhi will find it's going to take a great deal more than a pinch of salt to bring down the british empire. we're required to stop it. and stop it we will. i don't care if we fill the jails, stop it. arrest anyone, any rank -- except gandhi. we'll cut his strength from under him. and then we'll deal with the mahatma. who's leading them? i believe the question was intended to discover if there was any violence of their side. he's addressed this letter directly to you, has he? thank him for his letter, and put him in jail. and fields, keep that salt works open. mr. gandhi, i have instructions to request your attendance at an all- government conference in london to discuss -- to discuss the possible independence of india.
