agents. Notwithstanding its great
losses, the proletariat. preserves in
tact its fighting powers, its organi-
cations and its will to fight.
Scared out of its, wits, imperial
ism now suspends the exeeutionef3s
axe over the WorEeFs and Peasants
Parties which have hitherto existed
as legal bodies. Their newspaper
offices are demolished, the leaders
of the Left wing workers and peas
ants movement are jailed. The
Workers and Peasants Parties are
not affiliated to the Communist In
ternational; by their very nature,
as 'two-class parties, they could net
affiliate to the COMMUNIST Interna-
tional. But their rapidly rising in
| fluence in town and country reflects
the revolutionary awakening of the
broad masses, their will to organ
ize for struggle,
Imperialism is hurting itself with
all the force Of military terror
against the toilers of India. Their
trade union leaders, their newspa-
per editors and the participants at
the open conferences of workers and
peasants are threatened with execu-
ton or with hard labor in the Brit
ish prisons. Justice must be melted
out in the colonial chamber of tor
ture without even a farce of sworn
jury or the staging of trial. 1t is
to open up a new chapter in the
bloody oppression of the country
with its 300 million people. To cast
cloak of legality over such JUS
tice, the Indian Legislative Assem-
bly,, this miserable simulacrum of
parliament, this diet of a handful
of corrupted plutocrats must, under
the lash of the imperialist usurpers,
approve the penal laws dictated by
the government.
Open Terror Keynote.
Never did British imperialism
reign but by the most brutal terror
and most despicable bribery. The
crisis which British Imperialism is
now undergoing makes it less and
less possible for the imperialist
,usurpers to pursue policy of hypo-
critical promises. Terror, naked vio-
lence in all it's shapes is more and
more becoming the keynote of the
policy of the colonial usurpers. The
ruthless plumber of the country, so
rich in its natural resources, con-
stitutes the main basis of British
Imperialism.
The stability of the British do
minion in India decides the strength
of British imperialist reaction on
the international arena. The plans
of British Imperialism for the COM
ing world slaughter are set by its
aim to hold fast its monopoly in the
plunder of India without having to
share out its profits with ether i'm
perialist robbers. Subjugated, ex-
hausted, losing millions of her sons
through starvation, India must also
provide cannon-fodder for the Brit
ish war machine.
j The intensification of plumber and
violence in India unleashes revolu-
ton in the country. Capitalist ra-
tionalization in India combines the
most perfected, modern methods OF
economizing machinery and material
with. the, most cruel destruction OF
human labor power, with the most
ruthless stamping out of the life
and health of the toilers. The con-
tradiction grows between the need
for the development of the produc-
tive forces and the throttling pres
sure of imperialism. Imperialism and
its feudal allies are drawing ever
tighter the moose of unbearable ex-
ploitation, deadly serfdom and ig-
nominious slavery around the neck
of the peasantry. Starvation with
its millions of victims is the accom-
plice of Imperialism in removing su-
perfluous hands in the colonies that
imperialism does not need.
Workers Leadership Grows.
With the rise of the revolutionary
wave the leading influence of the
proletariat in the fighting antrim
perialist front is growing, widen
ing and becoming stronger. The
proletariat of India is showing to the
toilers that it will not stop at any
sacrifice in order to lead the peas
antry, the urban poor and all the
exploited in victorious war against
imperialism. The workers OF Bonn
bay and Calcutta, Caragpur and
Lilloah, in their heroic self-sacrific-
ing strike struggles, in their num-
erous militant demonstrations, have
shown that they have learned dur
ing, the heavy defeats Of the revolu-
ton in 1919-1921, the art of strug-
gle and victory. They are now going
farther. The great lessons of Shang-
hal, Wuhan and Canton have not
been in vain and the Soviet slogan
| is already emblazoned on the ban
ners of the Indian proletariat.
The agrarian revolution is the
pivot of the revolution in India. The
Indian peasants are beginning to re-
alize that Notwithstanding their
great sacrifices they have been de-
ceived, broken up and kept in
thraldom because they believed the
nationalist bourgeois politicians and
leaders. Imperialism Yields its bru-
tai terror over the proletariat in the
hope of bleeding it to death before
