the Indian merchants. The Indian capitaF SITS
sold out the masses but want to maintain fShe

dissatisfaction, that even the boycott Of British
goods is impossible to enforce without a militant
mass movement to back it. Already the Ian
cashire manufacturers in Britain declared their
approval of Gandhi's peace agreement because
it makes it easier for them to flood the Indian
market with their gods.

who put up such splendid resistance to the
offensive of Indian capital during the last three
years, stand this? The strike movement In the
last half Of 1880 slackened partly because Of the
temporary exhaustion Of the workers after the
prolonged strikes in the preceding period but
mainly due to the paralyzing influence OF the
National Congress and its deliberate policy OF
exhausting the working class in hartals with no
proletarian demands behind them. There are
now signs that the strike movement Is again

Gandhi (Which may not be perceptible TODAY
but will become an open fact tomorrow is also
an earnest OF the unbroken spirit of the Indian
masses, OF the rising class consciousness of the
workers. of their determination to continue the
struggle.
The Objective Conditions of the Struggle in
India
Three fundamental factors lie at the roots of
the Indian revolution: the strangulation of the
whole development of India economic, social,
cultural by British Imperialism, the land hunger
of the peasantry and the unbearable conditions
of the workers. 1t is one thing to throw few
sops to the Indian bourgeoise. 1t is quite
other thing to remove the deep causes which set
millions in motion. Even the pig-headed British
conservatives recognized the existence of these
causes and after the postwar crisis made an
attempt to find their own imperialst solution of
the basic problems Of the Indian revolution.
Three Royal Commissions were appointed (agri-
cultural labor, and the Simon Conmission).
Each Of them spent more than two years in
touring India and investigating their respective
problems. And in spite Of all this laborious
work they proved, one and all, an ig1iominious
failure If proof is needed, life itself is supply
ing the proof the peasant movement is sweep
ing the country and the strikes of the workers
during the last three years have been the great
est known in Indian history.
British imperialism was powerless to solve the
problems OF the Indian revolution by the way of
reforms after the defeat of the revolutionary
campaign Of 1892. at the time of the partial
sterilization Of the capitalist system What
chances are there now for refornist solution,
In the midst Of the severest economic crisis which
is shattering the whole capitalist world, and the
colonial system in particular, to its very founda-
tons?
There isn't now one crop in India for which
the peasant gets more than half Of the cost of
production. The deficits Of the Provincial and
the Central Indian Governments are mounting

We must remind the Right Rev Norman
Thomas that ere he go too far on this charge
of "incompetency" against the N. Y. Police De-

ago, that he not only put in his full time pinch

The National Congress Is Watching Its Step.
Both the forces of revolution and of counter
revolution have learned much during the inter-
vering years between the first and the second
revolutionary wave in India. Up till now the
working class has been unable to assume the
leadership Of the mass movement in the village
and in the city. But the fight against the Indian
bourgeoisie for the hegemony in the revolution
has begun Gandhi himself admitted this when
he stated in his letter to the viceroy that he is
afraid "of the revolutionary party daily gaining
ground"
Now as in 1922 the Indian bourgeoisie is de-
hvering the masses into the hands of the British
imperiahstS because 1t Is scared to death by the
spectre of the coming workers and peasants
revolution. But now the existence of revolution
airy working class organizations, Of Red Trade
Unions and Of the Indian Communist Party,
however weak it is, compeIs the National Con-
gress to watch its STEP" to hasten slowly with
its betrayal In 1922 flimsy pretext (the kill
ing Of 20 policemen by the peasants) was deemed
sufficient by the National Congress to pass the
Bardon resolution and call off the civil dis
obedience campaign. What do we see now?
Now Gandhi is mighty afraid to repeat the
dramatic gesture" Of Bardol in spite of the
fact that more policemen were killed during the
last few months than for the whole period OF
19l9-22 Instead Of this he tries to put on the
brakes and TO slow down the movement grad
ually and gently, in the hope that in this way
the masses may swallow the betrayal without
noticing 1t. Only thus can we explain the clown
like unceasing right-about-face of the bourgeois
nationalist leaders who now call on the masses
to stand by Gandhi's peace terms with the Vic
eroy, now promise to continue the "war" now

BORAH ASKS THRIFT,
INCOME TAX BOOST
Senator Says Congress VIII
Probably Have to DsaI
With Levy.

Increased income taxes and reduced
expenditures are advocated by Senator
William e. Borah, Republican, of Idaho
to balance the Federal budget.
Borsh said he thought these steps
should be taken as he returned to tle
Capital yesterday from his home statr.
He also expressed himself on other con-
troversial topics with his customary
vigor
Casting aside proposals for beer and
prohibition referendum as settling
nothing" he caid the cole question is
! Do the American people want to take
it che eighteenth amendment out of
| the Constitutions"
Against Farm Policy.
Borah said he was ready to vote for
abolition OF the Farm Board unless ii
changes its policy. He believes move
ments will be renewed for the export
TENS Of farm relief, but he is in &C
cord with Secretary Hyde in believing
these cannot be passed over President
Hoover's veto.
The chairman Of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee also expressed
the opinion that If States, counties and
cities have to raise money for I'M
employment Ie1eI, Lnc feQeIdl Gov
eminent should do its share. He be-
lieves income taxes should pay part Of
this as well as property taxes levied by
the States I'D cities
Tax Question Expect
ut seems altogether probable" Borah
said that We will have to deal with
the question of taxes at the coming
session. There is nothing quite so
conducive to extravaganza and waste
as the habit of passing the cost Of
running the Government over to pos
terity. We ought, in the first place
to cut Governmental expenditures TO
the lowest practicable level
There would be some compensation
in this depression through which we
are passing if there should result from
1t a thorough oyerhauling of Govern
mental expenditures. And after we
have cut expenditures as much as pos
sible, we ought then to pay as we go.
We will not spend nearly SO much
if we do"
