STORM CALMED IN COMMONS ON INDIA PROGRAM Brilliant Debate Clears Up, Threat of Political Controversy. By United Press LONDON, March 13.—Political controversy around the question of Indian Independence underwent a rapid change today as a result of a brilliant house of commons debate which calmed the threatened f-torm. Prime Minister J. Ramsay MacDonald and Stanley Baldwin, the conservative leader, led the debate, which had several important results both in the Indian question and in connection with political strife. The most important results were that: The Mahatma Gandhi probably will be among Indian representatives who will reassemble for the next round table conference on a new Indian constitution. The conference will not be held in Tndla but in London at a date to be set after preliminary exploration work is completed in India. The embryonic challenge of Winston Churchill for leadership of the Conservative party was crushed. The Conservative party was reunited under Baldwin’s leadership. Baldwin made one of the most brilliant speeches of his career in his statement on Indian policy, fighting off the extremist challenge of Churchill and pledging his aid for settlement of the future of India’s government—a problem which he said was "by far the most imperial question and the greatest difficulty we face today.” MacDonald, replying, said the great majority of all parties were united in the spirit of work which marked the first round table conference in London. He was interrupted several times by the cheers of parliament members. LIFE-UKE STORY BOOK Financier Started at $2.25 a Week, Now Worth $10,000,000. By United Press LONDON.
