June, 1940.
£Mii®JL" t>     The first page is devoted to the usual picture of the
Spirit of Independence and to a poem which emphasises that
now is the time for action.     One stanza may refer to
+ means free GDHMI bINOH Ai-AD + - "If you wish to be called azad, sll
you Indians should emulate Ai-AD".
E8M 8* 2.      There is a crudely printed reproduction of a "Rough
account of the English Raj" which the paper says was
originally printed in every revolutionary newspaper.
"Hitler has almost destroyed brutal English imperialism,
that will now be the state of things in India?"
"ffhet follows is taken from the words or writings of
trustworthy Englishmen.     Readers should memorise this
rough account".
The following are the main items:- Removal of 50
crores of rupees to England every year, thereby
imooverishing India.      Englishmen go to India to drink the
blood of Indians.      Famine is increasing and two crores of
Indians have died of starvation in the last 16 years. In
the last 24 years 80 lakhs have died of plague. The
death rate has risen from 24 to 34 per lf000.      In the
native states dissension is caused and fear of the English
Raj is spread abroad.     Ho reasonable excuse is given for
beating Indians and dishonouring their womenfolk... India
is reduced to slavery to benefit Ju6t a few wealthy
Englishmen.      Opium and liquor are sold for profit to
Indians wno never asked for them.      Sixty per cent of
England's goods are sold in India:    India's commerce is
the ^englishman's richest loot.     The money spent by the
Knglish in enslaving India is called by them "India's
indebtedness".      The assistance given by India to enslaved
other countries is also included in tnis debt. The
interest, amounting to several crores of rupees,  is taken
to Sag land..      In the 1914 war several million pounds were
taken away as a gift in wnicn India had no say, though
people in India were dying of starvation.
PaKe 3. 3.      UDHAM SINOH Ai-AD's picture is reproduced with the
following words:- "The full story of the martyr MUHAMMAD
SINOH ALAD's life will be written in due course. Here
only one or two matters are recorded from Parangi sources
Ai-AD JI lived for some time in America.      He used to take a
great part in national work.     After remaining some time in
America, he went back to India, where two revolvers were
seized in his possession.     According to the police in
India he stated that he htd been a member of the Ghadr
Party.      "Defence Committee.     A&AD J I, by punishing
Michael OfDwyer for his evil deed6, avenged Jallianwnla
Begh.     A case is proceeding against him in London and a
Defence Committee has been formed in London which is
working harmoniously to collect money.      In America also a
Defence Committee has been formed and has sent a sum of
money to London.      #e request all who wish to help in A?.AD
JI*8 case to send their contributions to the Defence
Committee through the Party.     The Committee will forward
their contributions and acknowledge with thanks."
4.     An article headed "Slave rajas are nelping the Parangis"
publishes a list of those wno are shamelessly assisting the
Parangis.      It says that the Parangis have printed this list
to/
J
to prove the loyalty of their slaves and to show the world that
Indians are their loyal slaves.
"The liaharaja of Bhawanagar has contributed two lakhs of
rupees towards the war and has turned over his railway
workshops to war production-      The Maharaja of Rewal has given
a lakh in rations.      The Maharaja of Dewas has given an
ambulance unit and twenty-two stretcher bearers,      The flawab of
Karwai has contributed Rs. 2500 for the relief of the wounded...
etc.  etc. etc..... Altogether these slaves have given about
forty lakhs of rupees to the Farangis.      Those Indians who help
the Farangis in this war are enemies of the nation. Their
names should be remembered".
5. In an article headed "Fruit of Dr. PaI^Ia's labours" it is     Page 4.
stated that as a result of conversations witn the Immigration
officials Dr. PANDIA has secured a decision to the effect that
there will be a re-trial of all cases in which evidence of
identification of photographs was produced.      "Mr. Marshall S.
Dimmock, Second Assistant Secretary",  it says,  "has written to
Dr. PANDIA to say tnat after careful consideration the
Immigration Department has decided to re-open proceedings in
every case where photos have been identified by Mexicans.
Also all other case6 will be re-opened where there is the
slightest reason for doubt.      Indians living in America are
grateful to Dr. PANDIA.     The Doctor earnestly appeals to all
Indians whose cases are pending to get together end engage a
lawyer to fight their cases.     The Doctor is also having
conversations in Washington with high officials on the
citizenship issue.      It is hoped that he will soon have good
news to relate".
6. "Indian News.     The fruit of sin."
"The wise tell us that the evil-doer is awarded the
penalty of his sin sooner or later.     The traitor KARM SITOH
Mannanhana assisted in getting the brave Babbar martyr BHANiNA
SINQH killed by the police.     This evil-doer has now received
the fruit of his evil deeds.     Some revolutionary hero has
despatched this evil-doer to join BSIA SIHOH and ANtJP SINGH.
The identity of the killer is not yet known.     The police are
searching for him.      This news has reached us in a comrade's
letter".
7. "Compulsory recruiting in Canada.
tfe have heard ttiat a law is about to be passed for
compulsory enlistment in Canada.     Orders have issued that
everyone aged 16 to 60 must register witn the police.
Everyone will have to carry a police certificate wnich will
bear his photograph".
8. "Volunteers wanted!
The present state of the world demands toat the party's
work shall be intensified and speeded up.      The party wants
devote<-6 who understand the value of organisation and are ready
in all circumstances to do any work as ordered by the party.
Any comrade who wants to serve is requested to send in his name
and intimate any change of address!
9. An editorial on the situation created by the Nazi successes Pages 5 & 6
in the West.      It is fully anticipated that France will first
succumb to the German war machine and then Britain. "The
England which has made a habit of oppressing unarmed Indians,
when/
when it tastes the big stick of a Hitler stronger than itself,
will understand what Indians are feeling like under Farangi
oppression!"     The editorial concludes:   "To-day the Dig
stick is in power.     Can the Mahatma stop Hitler's big stick
with his philosophy?     The whole of India should have
combined.      Had it done so a considerable degree of success
mignt have been anticipated.     Alas! it could not be. Left
and right are pulling in opposite directions and the
sectarian reactionaries are playing into the hands of the
Farangis.      Witnessing the domestic dissensions of Indians,
patriots lament but John Bull applauds".
A crude cartoon is printed depicting a Hindu and a
Muhammadan fighting.     John Bull witnesses the scene and
urges them to go on fighting, saying that he will guarantee
to reward the winner.
10. An article by "B.S. Argentina" headed "Be on your guard!"
attacks Mahatma Oandhi for his failure to give a decisive
lead.      It goes on:    "If it be admitted that Naziism is a bad
thing,  it is for consideration that we have nothing whatever
to do with Haziism.      How can we go and fight Hitler when we
are ourselves slaves?     It is a trick to divert the
enthusiasm of Indians.     They must be on their guard against
it.....The Mahatma says that force is evil.      He ought to be
asked whether it is not force when he sends Indians to help
the English against Hitler.     Can Hitler be checked by
passive resistance?      Is it not force to help the Farangi
robbers?      Is it only force wnen independence is obtained by
armed revolt?     The history of the world proclaims that
independence can be secured only by armed revolt.      It is
attained by sacrifice only:    that is why it is so precious,
just as gold is co:-tly because much labour is required for
its extraction.      If it could be attained by prayers or by
four days of fasting,  then everyone would attain it, but
independence so easily attained would be worthless.....
Indians, be on your guard, don't be misled.      Our first
enemy is the one who tnrottles us.      Our next enemy is the
one who stands and looks on from a distance.      If we can free
ourselves from tne former, then we can tackle the latter, but
if we cannot save ourselves from the first and bigger enemy,
then we cannot escape tne latter.      We ought to give up
everything else and turn out the Farangi Government.
Afterwards accounts can quickly be settled with the other
enemies!      Inqilab Zindabad!     Zalim Shahi Murdabad!"
11. "Some little time ago a newspaper named "OHADR DHANDORA"
appeared in China.     For various reasons it ceased to exist.
It has now begun to anpear again.      Two copies have reached
our office.      We congratulate those comrades whose courage
has resulted in the reappearance of this newspaper".
12. "Proclamation of tne progressive party.
(Note:- This proclamation has been published by the
progressive party so that workers and peasants may be brought
into the independence movement.     They form the vast majority
in India, but until it is clearly explained to them what they
will get after Independence has been attained they cunnot be
expected to play their part in the independence movement in
large numbers.      in this proclamation an attempt has been made
to clarify the situation.)
"Dear Comrades, the real European war has now begun.
This war will bring mourning to the homes of the English and
joy to the homes of Indians.      Indian heroes, wake up.
1914-1918/
1914-1918 has returned.     Do not be again entangled In the net
of the Parangis.     This is no repetition of the last war which
will allow you to return home with rewards-      From the next
war very, very few will survive.
"To-day English I.noerialism ie seriously embarrassed.
It is a golden opportunity for Indians.     The Parangis are
trembling with fear.     Arabs and Sgyptians have risen. The
prestige of the Parangis is lowered to the dust.      India is the
one place where the roots of the Parangis are firmly planted.
The eyes of tne wnole world are directed towards India. If
even now Indians will not rise they will be the whole world's
debtors.
Indians, awake!     Do not la£ behind as if you were asleep!
Organise and fight for freedom,  land and breadl
flThat will our freedom mean to us?
(l) Tvery man will get double pay.
(g) All workers will have a working day of at most seven hours.
(3) Bvery worker will get a month's holiday every year in
addition to hie pay.
(4) Workers will en^oy full Union rights.
(6) everyone over 50 will get a 3tate pension.
(6) The State will be responsiole for tne treatment and support
of the sick and needy.
(7) Peasants will be given free grants of arable land.
Revenue will be fixed according to produce.
(3) Schools and hospitals will be provided free by the State.
The time has come.      Indians, arise!      Wave the flag of
freedom over the whole of India!      Inqilab 2.indabad!H
13. A poem signed "B.S. Argentina" entitled "Think of a way
to release (our) general" is an appeal to young men to plan
mean6 of releasing PIRTHI SIftf>H.      It also refers to Gandhi's
unfulfilled promise for nis release and says that it was
Oandhi wno had him sent to 3ail but forgot all about him.
It alleges that the Manatma was similarly responsible for
BtiAGAT SIWH'8 fate.
14. The issue concludes witn tne following remarks
"Dictatorsnip in ringiand.     iir. Churchill nau been made
Dictator in England."
