The Indian Communist Party
Leader of the Indian
Revolution
By r. DOONPING.

AS the Indian masses are rising in revolt
"A against British imperialism and as British
troops are firing upon thousands and killing
and wounding revolutionary workers and peas
ants in Karachi, Calcutta and elsewhere,
Gandhi, voicing the cowardice and apprehen-
sions of the Indian bourgeosie, issued warn
ing to the revolutionsts against loosing their
restraint" He said, LET me warn those
whom my message may reach that, if they
cannot restrain themselves, they must not
terfere with the struggle. If they do they
only retard their countrys' progress toward its
goal" Asking the revolutionists not TO in
terfere with the struggle!"-This is the lest
kind of warning" Macdonald can give TO the
Indian workers and peasants. No wonder Mac
Donald refuses to arrest Gandhi.
1t is obvious that movement that warns
real revolutionary elements from interfering"
with the struggle and advising restraint" is
not to be taken seriously by the imperialists.
The imperasts, who do not hesitate moment
in the use of force against the revolutionists
and who fully know the value and the abso-
lutte necessity of force in any struggle, d1 net
conceal their contempt for Gandhis "non-vio-
lence." Speaking to the Board meeting of The
National Bank of India, British concern,
Sir Charles C. Mcleod, the Chairman, made
the following remarks in reference to the
threatened reputation of British loans and in.
vestments in India by the Indian National
Congress. He said:
SIT. is true that certain uneasiness show
ed itself in this country on rumors from In
da that a reputation of Indian liabilities
might be attempted under certain eventu-
alities, and in consequence Indian loans had
setback, but the statement from the Sec =
rotary of State for India treasured the hold
ers that such suggestion need not be taken
seriously, and Indian stocks have recovered
But the imperialists cannot say the same
thing in regard to the Communists. They
know the real revolutionary example set by the
November Revolution in Russia. They know
that when we Jay we will repudiate state debts
contracted by the oppressors of the workers
and peasants we mean business. 1t is because
the Communists mean business and because
the Communist Party is the only Party of the
workers and really fights for the revolution
that the Indian workers and peasants will fol-
low the leadership of the Communist Party in
the momentous struggle Of the Indian Revolu-
ton.
The nter-revolutonary role of Gandhi
was already fully exposed in the Bardoli be-
trayal in 1922 when flat declaration to "cal
Off the last revolutionary struggles was
issued by the Indian National Congress.
Gandhi's role effectively as an agent of the
British imperialists is now being further ex-
posed by recent developments of the Indian
revolution Living revolutionary experience is
teaching the Indian masses whom they should
trust with the leadership of the Indian Revo-
lutionary movement. Not Gandhi, not the In
dian National Congress, but the Indian Com
munist Party is the real leader that will
complish the historical task of guiding the In
dian Revolution to final victory.
