INDIA PEACE ORDERS PUT INTO EFFECT
Nationalist Congress Orders Cessation of Civil Disobedience Campaign
NE\y DELHI, India, Mar. 5— (UP)—The new peace tn India went into effect today when the Nationalist All-India congress dispatched telegrams to Its branches j throughout the country ordering them to call an Immediate truce In the civil disobedience campaign.
Lord Irwin, the Viceroy, reciprocated by announcing that the India government planned to order the release of some 25,000 political prisoners, followers of the Mahatma M. K. Gandhi, Independence leader. The order will be issued tomorrow.
The Viceroy further declared that the ordinances regarding restrictions on the press and instigation and holding of unlawful associations would be withdrawn. The congress ordered discontinuance of the campaign against payments of taxes.
These moves were in accordance with the agreement reached be tween Lord Irwin and Gandhi earlier this week, and approved by the government and the All-India congress.
The provisional nature of tbe accord was stressed. The telegram dispatched by the congress leaders referred to it as the "provisional accord,” and there was no doubt hut that the termination of the campaign led by Gandhi was looked upon by the Nationalists as purely a compromise born of present exigencies.
Gandhi, himself, declared to na tive and foreign correspondents that while the settlement would give "irrestlble prestige” to the rongress. the efforts so far were far from their goal.
