education, but they must at the same
time prove to the home population
l that their intention really is not
exploitation but development and ad-
vancement. Some of. the petty bour-
geois or middle men are granted
same knowledge so that they can be
used as drivers Tor the slaves and
wage workers When these nationals
participate to some degree in the
management of things they newt
ably gain national consciousness and
strive to do all these things for
themselves, that they have been
doing for their foreign masters. On
the other hand, large masses of work
ers are concentrated in mines, fields
and factories, to toll for the for
eign masters, under the gu dance and
supervision of their more advanced,
nationals. Like in the motherland,
so in the colonies, the modern in
dustrial system tends to develop
class consciousness among the work
ers and nationalism among the petty
bourgeoisie. Although for different
reasons, they both strive Tor in
dependence.
81 INDEPENDENCE OF COLONIES
l-WEAKENING OF IMPERIALISM.
To enable the capitalist world to
exist, it becomes indispensable to Sc
cure colonies, where the surplus
capital of the billionaires and trus1
magnates could be invested. If nov
after many years, the colonies succeed
on their side to break away from
Their foreign masters, that will be
| a deadly blow to the economic >sys'
tenn of the imperialistic nations
Such imperialistic nations, as Great
Britain, are enabled to maintain their
Sinister order thru sheer robbery in
the colonies. Great Britain 7ecures
immense revenue by the exploitation
of India, Egypt and about half OF
tAfrica. The approximate forty mil
lion population of the United King
dom, keep in subjugation 37O mil
; lion of colorials all over the world.
The British imperialists are in a
| position of grant concessions to the
, British workers, and still prosper on
account of the colonials. The work
ers of the motherland can be salts
fled so as to use them as marauders
and suppressors for the colonies and
) dependencies, and thus perpetuate
5 the imperialist system. The workers
