‘ DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, SATURDAY, MAY 3, 1930 ‘NORTH INDIA REVOLT _OVERSHADOWS GANDHI _ AND HIS SALTY FAKE | British Rule Insecure Along Afghan Frontier as Officials Try to “Explain” Peshawar Battle pondas Order to Arrest Ghandi Deliberately Made to Turn Revolt Into Pacifism Dispatches from Peshawar, India, | commemorates the fight of April 23. J tell of a tense revolutionary situa- tion in Northern India, where anger at Britain is growing hourly as news spreads of the massacre by British troops at Peshawar on April 28. Capitalist reports tell of “a brooding atmosphere of suspicion prevailing” there, where the famous Khyber Pass, northern gateway to India, is “closed” by the British troops, fearing something from the North. “Apparently only a spark is need- ed to fire the smoldering passions of the people,” says a capitalist cor- espondent. And so concerned are} 1e British that airplanes are flying} ver villages and tribal camps along} the Afghan border, dropping leaflets “explaining why soldiers fired on| natives in Peshawar last week,” as/| the report states. As irtdicative of how shaky Brit-| ish rule is in this strategic region, | it is said that British families are| leaving Peshawar. Volunteers are proudly guarding a rough stone me- morial in the central bazaar, which Still more apprehension is felt by the British and their native lackeys at the prospect of what may happen May 2, which is “Hartal Day” (Pro- test Day) against the murders of April 23. It was here that British “tradition” was robbed of its dig- nity by the mutiny of the sixth bat- talion of native riflemen, who re- fused to fire upon the masses. With these “alarming rumors of unrest along the frontier,” the gov- ernor of Madras called in the lead- ers of the group known as “mod- erates” to obtain their cooperation with the government, the first time jany governor of India ever did such a thing. Not only industrial stocks but government securities are drop- ping heavily in price on the Bombay exchange. The arrest vii Gandhi by order of euwi which is rumored, would tend tb turn attention to the roused Indian masses away from this really revolutionary action to passive re- sistance of Gandhi, which is the only reason why the British may order his arrest. Phyrric Victory in Lunchow MOSCOW (IPS).—Pravda writes: “The Chinese counter-revolution has won a phyrric victory in the Lun- chow district of the Kwangsi pro-| vince against the evolutionary | troops, but even this victory was won with the energetic assistance | of French imperialism which sent! both aeroplanes and troops into ac- tion in support of the counter-rev-| olution.

All they did, according to the agen- cies, is to carry out reprisals for the expulsion of the French consul and the French catholic missionaries by the reds, and as far as Commu- nists are concerned, everything is permissible, and one can laugh at the sovereignity of China, at the League of Nations and at the Kel- logg Pact. The Kuomintang pr is devoutly thankful for the ‘coin- cidence’ and deeply regrets the fact that the French lost three first class planes during the operations.
