The report is such an arrogant sure of the imperialist program and attitude, of the contempt of rulers for ruled, of the firm dete: mination of the Empire and all its parties to inte y the blood-suck- ing exploitation of India by Britain, that it must result in a wave of popular rage against imperialism, and a d to break its rule. A new stage of the Indian revolution now be- ginning, in which the Indian working class must emerge as the poli- tical and organizational leaders of the struggle. For the workers of the United States, the Indian revolution is of the most profound interest. The freedom of over 300 million people from imperialist rule, which is the stake of the Intian struggle, has the most profound consequences for world imperialism as a whole.

When this murderer was arraigned before the capitalist courts, it was, naturally, brought out that he was the brother of “His Honor,” Magistrate Flood of Manhattan. The murderer was therefore released on bail. He had merely killed a man.
