Rafi Ahmed Kidawi, leader of the civil disobedi- ence movement at Rae Bareilly, was} terday “served with a notice for- | bidding him to address meetings” and the National Congress has been prohibited from using mimeograph machines to issue bulletins. Yet this is the same “socialist” hypocrite of the Second International which Wed- nesday issued “an appeal to Rus- sian workers” asking them to over-| throw the Soviet Government and | “establish democracy!” London dispatches feature the an- ger of the British imperialist press rt the similar hypocrisy of American preachers who have ap- | pealed to MacDonald to come to agreement with Gandhi. The British press plays up the lynching at Sher- man, Texas, and talks about “The Mote and the Beam.” The British | are especially sore at the fact that 4merican imperialism is getting | } duction in iron prices in the domes- |tie market.
