Malaviya Proposed Round Table, The Viceroy Lord Reading Agreed, Mahatma Gandhi Sabotages the Idea."The Prince of Wales was due in Calcutta on 24 December, and any more violent disorder there had to be prevented at all costs..... During the next two months over 30,000 people were arrested in India as a whole, and of the top leadership of the Non-Cooperation Movement, only Gandhi remained free . There was a very real danger for the government that its new wave of repression would drive the Liberals and Moderates back into the Congress camp, which would have been disastrous. Malaviya had been urging the viceroy for some time to call a round-table conference with Gandhi and the Moderates.] In mid-December, Reading agreed, promising at the same time to release the political prisoners, end the repressive measures, and even grant ''full provincial autonomy'' ifGandhi would call off the non-co-operation movement . At first, Gandhi agreed. But he quickly changed his mind, wiring Malaviya: Non-co-operation can cease only after satisfactory result conference. In no case have I authority to decide for Congress.''
