While the Prince of Wales was proceeding through the main

streets of Bombay, Mr. Gandhi's followers in another part of the city started a violent riot. They attacked the police and killed some constables, they burnt tramcars, and they assaulted all the Anglo-Indians and Parsees whom they met. The police had in the end to restore order by firing on the " non-co-operators," several- of whom were -killed. In Calcutta on the same day organized bodies of Hindu and Moslem " non-co-operators " stopped the traffic and compelled the shopkeepers to close their doors. After this, Mr. Montagu felt it necessary to permit the Indian Government to proclaim Mr. Gandhi's " volunteer*" corps as illegal associations.
