II. The British Imperialists, al
armed by the rapid Irevolutioniza-
ton process of the Indian proleta-
riat,s the slow but sure awakening of
the peasantry, resulting in a new
rising wave of the national move
ment of India, have launched cam
paign of white terror against the
labor movement all over, the coun-
try. The streets of the industrial
centres, especially in Bombay are
deeply drenched with workers
blood. Hundreds of millions land
Left Wing trade unionists are
thrown into prisons. The labor
press has been suppressed. The Of
ficers of the Left Wing trade uni
ons and the All-India Workers and
Peasants Party have been ransack-
ed. The strikes are being crushed
by military force and hundreds of
strikers killed. Compulsory arbit-
ration lis being forced upon the
workers. Strikes of transpor,
workers are outlawed. Likewise
solidarity and political strikes are
forbidden. Financial assistance to
Indian striking workers by the pro-
letariat of other countries is not
permitted. Foreign-born revolu-
tionaries are deported. This is the
practical meaning of the recently
promulgated Public Safety Bill
and the "Trade Disputes Act"
Further, armed clashes beween the
Moslems and the Hindoos or the
massacres of one native group OF
people by another on religious
grounds, are being Systematically
instigated and provoked by the Bri
fish spies and police. AT the same
time, the British imperialist agents
are trying to bride and organize
the Moslem workers as strikebreak
ers and play them against the Hin
doc workers in the class struggle
All this is aimed at splitting the la
Dor movement and stemming the re
volutionary tide in India. The same
bloody policies and massacres will
continue to prevail during the pres
ent-so-called Labor Government
Ramsay Macdonald, Tom Shaw
Henderson & Co., being lackeys o
British Imperialism, will be just a
ruthless in crushing strikes, smash
ing revolutionary labor Iorganiza
lions and arresting militant work
ers as were the Tories with Bald
win and Chamberlain at the head
Native Capitalist Betrayal.
The nationalist bourgeoisie men
aced by the "red spectre" of tn
national revolutionary independence
movement, by the rapidly approach
ing wave o" the Indian national rev
olution under the hegemony of tn
proletariat, are deserting and be
traying the struggles for natisna
independence. The nationalist bour
geoisie have accepted tho treacher
Gus Scheme of the Dominion Stat
us for India" and are compromising
most shamelessly with the British
imperialists at every turn and occa
sion.
Furthermore, the national bourg.
eoisie, if they are not officially anc
openly calling for the white terror
of British Imperialism, yet are moi
fighting against it. In fact, the ma.
tive bourgeoisie in supporting the
enactment of the "Trade Dispute.
Bill" practically have helped tt
pave the way for the reign of Brit
ish imperialist terror. Likewise, it.
luke-warm attitude and passivity il
the face of the present offensive o.
British Imperialism is nothing bu
additional link in the long chain o.
treacherous actions which points t.
the passing over of the nationa
bourgeoisie to position of counter
revolution.
! III. The brutal oppression of tn,
toiling masses by British imperial
ism, the rationaliza ion drive o.
British and Indian capital, thu
throwing out of work of hundred.
of thousands of preletarians, anc
the rising of Revolutionary spirit
and fighting endurance among the
toiling masses has resulted in gen.
eral sharpening of the class strug.
gle. This in its turn, has brought
about an intentified vacillating pol.
icies and half-measure activities
within the ranks of the left" ma
tionalists, J. Nehru, Bose, Chair
man Lal, etc., the agents of the ma.
tionalist bourgeoisie in the labor
movement, and to a whole line Of
class collaboration and social-imperi
alist actions by the trade union bu
reaucracies of M. JOSH, Bakhale &
Co. the agents of British Imperial
ism.
Thus M. JOSH, Bakhale & Co., are
sparing no efforts to prevent strikes
against the British as well as
against the native exploiters. They
are sabotaging the strikes and try
! ing to persuade the workers to en-
