It had not e\en the power to express its academ.c opinion. “Our helplessness becomes never so apparent as when Indian soldiers a shamelessly used to crush . ot “. people’s freedom. Indeed, India is tn key to the exploitation of the Asia and other non-European nations oi earth. She is held in bondage not merely for the sake of her own eX P tation. but that of her neighbours near ! and distant. . !
