Mr.. Youngdahl flayed the alleged
Christianity of these United States
and called upon the representatives of
the government to go into battle them
selves, if they were convinced of the
righteousness of their war aims. Maui

snobbery" the pitting Of nationalities
against each other, and Maud Stock

and resistance to compulsory military
training in schools and colleges.

airy movement in China?
The explanation Of this is as fol-
lows:
u England was the only imperial
list power in India and had no rivals
in the shape of other powers;
y England was sure of the back
ing Of the native big bourgeoisie in
India, whose interests to certain eX-
,tent conceded with the interests of
Great Britain;
81 The Indian peasant and labour
movement was to considerable eX-
tent, isolated from the world revolu-
tionafy movement and had no Com
munikt vanguard.
Under Bourgeois Influence.
The, Indian labour movement, from
its very birth fell under the influence
of the national bourgeois elements
The Ghandists were at the head Of
the nationalist movement from 1919
TO 1921, but they showed themselves
unable to lead the nationalist eman-
cipatory movement. England was able
by making some political and econ
omic concessions to the big bour-
geoisie and by using some repressive
measures against the petty bour-
geoisie, to reduce the movement to
the safety minimum. The leadership of
the movement was transferred from
the Ghandists to the Swarajists, who

that only 10 per cent. of the workers
are organized.
The first place is occupied by the
postal workers. Fifty per cent. of
whom are organized, and next to
them come the railway workers.
The industrial unions are consider
ably weaker, the miners are scarcely
organized at all, (only about OF per
cent? the textile workers are better
organized than the others (up TO 10
per cent?.
The British Labour Party.
The Amsterdamites and representa-
tives of the British Labour Party
have recently not without success en-
parked upon work in India. During
the last two years (l925-26) India
has been visited by number Of rep
resentatives OF the British Labour
Party-officialiy on the plea Of ia
miliarising themselves with the posi-
ton Of workers in India, but actually
in order to endeavour to get the In
dian labour movement under their in
fluence.
The influence Of the Labour Party
is already beginning to be felt. In
1926 the Federation Of Railway
Workers joined the reformist Trans
port Workers International, their ex-
ample being quickly followed by two
seamen's unions.
But this is not all The Amster-
dam leaders are exerting all their en-
