Lord Reading on Labor in India

NhIE are, however, convinced that a
EH conspiracy does exist, neverthe-
less. But it is not conspiracy of
tremendous and subtle secret socie-
ties, which constitute the nightmare
picture presented to us by Lord Read
ing and his bureaucrats. It is a
gigantic conspiracy. by the imperial
istic rulers of India, to check the
movement Of the Indian people to-
wards national freedom. It is a con-
spiracy to hamper the expression of
midas oppressed millions, to stifie
their demand for liberation from the
CALLING shackles of British imperialist
capitalism. by fiinging their best lead.
ers into prison, forbidding the free
publication Of their organs, and the
free assemblage Of their societies. It
is conspiracy to intensity the heavy
repression, under the weight of which
the Indian masses are bowed.
The Labor Government Approved.
N dealing with the special ordinance.
the instrument used in the whole
sale arrests OF Bengal nationalists,
Lord Reading took his hearers into
his confidence. He gave them the
details Of the genesis of this ordin-
ance, Of this imperial edict which
filched from the Indians the scanty
rights they possessed. The viceroy
states that in this revelation, he is
departing from the usual course. 81
am well aware that l am taking an
exceptional course in giving you this
information, but do It advisedly after
careful thought" After careful
thought, Lord Reading considers that
it is just as well to give credit where
credit is due-and, in this case, 1t is
due to--the labor government!

they were simple souls, and they had
given credulous ear to the mealy-
mouthed chattering of brotherhood"
issuing from the various P. S. A. halls
where our /. L. P. leaders were per-
forming. They had believed the fine,
idealistic declarations, proceeding
from these labour leaders, before
they took office. iaL"
NOW they will no longer believe.
j y. This admission Of the Viceroy win
destroy for ever any lingering hope
the people of India may have in the
labor party politicians, in the I. L.
z. socialists" Now that they are
out of Office, the cat is let out OF the
bag. They stand revealed as the in
famous oppressors of the Indian
people, as the politicians who gave
the word which set all the powers OF
repression upon the Indian nationalist
movement. Thank you, Lord Read
ing! We always knew 1t, but 1t is
well you should confirm It.

THE toilers of India are slowly
learning. Now, they are learning
who are their enemies. Now, they are
discovering their false friends. Let
them go further; let them know what
the Communists say. regarding i'm
periaiism, and its overthrow. Let
them know that the Communists have
always foretold the actions Of the
pretended friends Of India-these
white terrorists who impudently
adopt the title of Tabor" Let them
hear and read the Communist message
to the colonial peoples: and then they
will have started, at last, upon the
road which, after strong determined
struggle, shall lead to freedom.

| EFT us see what the Viceroy says.
- Referring to the PRONUNCIATION of
the special ordinance, he remarks:
"The whole matter was submit
ted to careful examination by Lord
oliver and his maIesty's govern
ment as then constituted. They
agreed with the course suggested
as the only possible method of deal
Ing with the dangers facing peace
In Bengal"
Thus, you viii see that the special
ordinance, the wholesale arrests-the
course uggested"-were submitted
to that sterling proletarian member Of
the labor party, Lord Oliver, and to
the labor government, before this
course was adopted, AND THAT THE
LABOR GOVERNMENT APPROVED
OF IT!
1T was the labor government, then,
| according to Lord Reading, which
unleashed the police hounds, and set
them at the threats of the Indian ma
tionalist leaders. It was the labor
government, that mixed hodge-podge
of pacifists, sentimentalists, bureau
Gratis, trade union officials and intel
lectuals, which approved of this final
and heaviest burden being laid upon
the bowed shoulders of the Indian
masses. It was the labor govern
ment which cheeered Lord Reading
on. when he was still in doubt, and
consulted them as to whether he
should take this extreme step. Lord
Reading says SO; will they deny it?
n ND, actually, when the labor
. government came in, there were
Indians who greeted it with faith and
hope. Now was a new era about to
dawn for India, thought they. For

Communists Are Not Dreamers.
The Communists are the only ones
who seem to be free from the poIiti-

'Tis said the gods produced this pre-

In time when they had nothing
else to do;
And when they are ensued with state
affairs,
To make them merry they will look
downstairs;
And see the tom-fools' action here on

JONES WINS IMPORTANT
LAWSUIT VERDICT

John NJ, Jones who owns the G.
b. Taylor ranch east Of Vashon
and resides there with his wife
was one Of the unfortunate vic.
tins Of the Vashon State Bank
burglary which occurred couple
of years ago. Bonds belonging
to Mr. Jones on the city Of Bill
lnsS, Montana amounting to $2,-
600 We're stolen from a safety de-
post vault at that time, and these
bonds turned up for payment
few weeks ago, being in the pos
session Of The American Bank and
Trust Company Of Seattle.
Through his attorneys, Alex
Stewart and Robert ID. Hamlin, of
9O9 Arctic building, Seattle, Mr..
Jones brought suit against the
above named bank for the bonds,
or their equal in value. The case
was heard in the Superior court,
Judge Everett Smith, presiding.
The matter hinged on whether the
bonds were negotiable instru-
ments" or not, within the meaning
of the law. If they were "negoti-
able then the possessor had title
very much the same as a gov
ernment bank note, If they were
not negotiable" then the owner
Of the bonds was tbs purchaser,
Mr.. Jones.
The bonds in question stipulated
they were TO be paid according to
a resolution of the City Council of
Billings, Montana which issued
them. 1t was shown the resolu--
ton specified the purpose for
which they were issued, and the
manner in which they were to be
paid. Judge Smith held that this
made them non-negotiable and
ordered the above named bank to
either turn the bonds or their
equivalent over to Mr.. Jones who
Is the lawful owner. This is an
other big decision for the attor-
neys above named.
