The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-10-08

On the other hand, in order to alleviate the men,
tai agony of his suffering poor, or simply through
the accustomed unfeengness of the capitalist pro-
fiteer, the educated Indian tries to inst phoso-
phcal contentment in the workers and the peasants
and to prevent far possible any sef-conscious-
dawning upon them. Thus is accomplished
with success vast experiment of the British i'm
periaist of producing modern goods and services of
public utility through human agency at a cost in
eomparably lower than at home He also succeeds
in personal domination by keeping large masses of
humanity as bondslaves, vigorously tied to their
jobs through the necessity Of saving off starvation
and through the severity of legislative enactments.
In the midst of this process some of us cried out
against it in Britain, but in vain to tell the Brton
that his immediate task lay in leveng up the con-
ditions of his feDow-workers in India But the ap-
peal failed to touch the British worker His leaders
and his organizations worked like machines that
were invented and perfected before the advent of
economic imperialism and peril and proved ncap-
able of devoting themselves to better their condi-
lions.
An almost concerted view taken that the low
level of the Indian was well deserved and that the
higher level of the British workers was something
that permanently secure by his own merit. The
shrewd capitalist class the other hand awaited
sterilization of conditions to the difference between
two standards of human life under its control which
were well marked and were capable of being brought
to play their part under and the same common
imperial commercialism. Then, by exerting the or
compels the British worker to level down to the
economic position of the Indian worker, which pro-
cess will naturally continue till common level is
reached either low that of the Indian or
one high as that to which the British organiza-
tons assist the Indian workers to reach.
For the last four years the cry of the Indian
wo1 kers went out unheeded by British to secure
for them trade union rights similar to their own
and to save them from proposals which were not
comforting special rights for the Indian workers but
which were tightening the bonds of serfdom upon
them.
Here again the British worker dreamt that
his own position secure forever, up to a GER
tain stage and it would be the lookout of the Indian
worker to safely reach that stage of advancement
However, under economic Imperialism, such dreams
are shattered, today the challenge goes forth
to the British workers to level down the serfdom
of the Indian workers. / therefore two rapid
Developments the Brtanizng of master-class in
India and the Indianizing of the working class of
Britain. To me it is clear as daylight that the
primary duty of the British workers is to form an
international solidarity with the Indian and Oriental
workers and to level them up for the sake of secur
ing world standard and not to look upon such an
act of solidarity as 6. spasmodic expression Of
lnte1natlonalism or as act of secondary charity
from the stronger &c the weaker group
More words useless and unnecessary; events
will prove the correctness otherwise of this fore
cast.
