Mahatma Gandhi, his life, writings and speeches/Mr. Charles Roberts
Mr. CHARLES ROBERTS. M.P.
Mr. Charles Roberts, M.P., said that the present was not the time for speeches, but they had met that afternoon to give expression in the most informal way to their personal feelings of good-will towards Mr. Gandhi and he was glad to contribute his share. The work which Mr. Gandhi had at heart was mainly accomplished as far as South Africa was concerned, although it might remain to be more completely fulfilled in other parts of the empire. He should like to take the opportunity to thank Mr. Gandhi for the help he had rendered to the Ambulance movement, and to testify to the really excellent work which Indians were doing in connection with it. (Hear Hear). It might be that in leaving England Mr. Gandhi felt to some extent disappointed of the hope of giving that help which he had so willingly afforded in South Africa; but the prospect lay before him of more good work in India (Hear, Hear).
