Keep India Forever"
Forging New Chains
On Chiang's "victory"'

Stanley Baldwin put it,
the central council of the Con-
sentative and Unionist Assoc
Citations, which have a major
ity in parliament, voted by 8
to / to adopt the governments
new scheme for India.
There we're 1,7OO delegates pres
ent when this matter was discussed
and voted on Tuesday.
The report thereby adopted is
called by the British Daily Worker
zone of the most monstrous docu-
ments ever issued in the bloody his-
tory of British imperialism"
Here are the main provisions for
future British rule in India:
All of the armed forces are placed
unreservedly in the hands of the
British governor general. Relations
of India with all other powers are
controlled by the British overlords.
The British imperialists retain CONF
plete control of British Baluchistan,
one of the gateways for attack on
the Soviet Union.
Under the pretext of safeguard
ing of financial stability and credit"
the entire economic life of the couns
try is under the domination of the
British Shareholders.
Recognizing that this document,
which is intended to shackle India
more firmly to the British impe-
rialist chariot, the report provides
for the most drastic attack on all
revolutionary forces. The British
rulers are given absolute fascist
rights, the right to use any branch
of the government against all those
who resist British rule. This pro-
posal runs: For the purpose Of
combating terrorism the governor
should have power to take under
his own control any branch Of gov
eminent which it is necessary to use
for that purpose"
EVERYTHING is done TO perpetu-
IL ate conditions of the Indian
workers. described as follows by the
report of the Indian League Dele
cation when they visited Poona:
"On less than one acre of ground
at least 500 humans and a num-
Der Of cows, calves, goats, ETC., were
accommodated The mud huts were
rooted with old kerosene oil tin
sheets, latch and all sorts of scrap
material, and the walls we're about
four feet high. There were no vim
dows and no sanitary arrange
ments. practically every infant
under three years was drugged with
opium.
Delhi, the imperial capital, beat
every record. We passed through
alleys where we could not breathe
on account of the stencil; we called
on few railway workers who lived
in what we're literally boxes with
out windows or any other opening
whatever for ventilation, the front
door being rows of planks.
1.-THE man inside sits up all night
as there is no room for him to
stretch himself out. We did not
measure these places, but we would
Judge them to be about three feet
by four or AZ feet each. Imperial
Delhi staggers the Imagination.
THE people are in the constant
grip of moneylenders and landlords.
In the agricultural areas the huts
are built chiefly of a mixture Of
mud and COW dung, are small and
without ventilation or sanitation"
This is what the British overlords
want to keep in India forever"
But neither their new chains nor
their fascist terror will keep the IN
dian masses enslaved.
THE Japanese imperialists are very
much worried by Chang Kali
Shek's reported victories" over the
Chinese Soviets in Kiangsi After
the Kuomintang's reported capture
of Juichin, capital of the Central
Soviet Government in Kiangsi, the
Osaka Mainichi, commented gloom
ily "The Red troops have never
been crushed the communist
troops have escaped without suffer-
ing any serious losses"
They go on further to point out
that Chang Kai-Shek's reported
victory" does not in the least save
the Marking regime from the rapid
ly worsening crisis which threatens
to overwhelm it.
The economic structure under
the administration of General
Chang" they write, "at the same
time, although undoubtedly affected
by the worldwide economic despon-
dency, may be said to be bordering
on total collapse. Thus, General
Chang, successful as he has been !.
is turning the society under his ad.
ministration into a hotbed of COM
munism."
They go on further to point out
that behind Chang Kai -Shek stands
the capitalist powers, particularly
the Roosevelt regime. Two inter-
esting features are observed. One
is the establishment of the fact that
the communist armies in China will
be always combatted by the inter-
national cspitalistic organization.
Behind Chang Kai Shek may be
noted the assistance rendered by
American arms manufacturers or
merchants on condition Of Chinas
purchasing arms"
