Indian Reformer

Rajkot, Mar. 7 After the British Government ana the Government in India had intervened to assure satisfactory settlement of his demand for the liberalization of the government of Rajko, Mr. M. K. Gandhi today ended his "fast unto death."

He had been without food for 98% hours. His fast began at noon on Friday.

The aged man seemed to be nearing the point of collapse when at last he agreed to eat. After having passed a restless night, he appeared more exhausted this morning than at any time since beginning his fast on Fri day. His nausea, which was noticeable yesterday, persisted and made it difficult for him to take even small quantities of water.—United Press.
