Sim—I regret that Mr. Gargi Devi still insists upon "censuring' me_and I still claim that "hiding idea @ pseudonym" he has no such right.
afraid Mr, Gargi Devi has. very little experience of English ities. A few days the "hustings" even in Gladstone's day and later would have shocked him terribly I fear. Rival—condidates calling each other by terrible names, accusing the opposing party of rob-ery, theft, political and even human murder—to wit Irish sympathizers in Liverpool during the 80-90' 80-90's—and other crimes too numerous to mention. My designation of the British Government of to-day as being a Kuli or (coolie) Government is I maintain quite correct. To call it a "Labour" Government is wrong because although many of its members have been "labourers"—that fs, please, as understood generally in Great Britain, manual labourers <a great number of those in the Government, War Office, Excise, Law, ete,, permanent Government officials, "ete, are certainly not manual labourers—they do not pull shas or carry bamboo poles, they }do not plough, sow and reap in the fields—but they do work for hire jand I maintain that even as myself they are Kuli's or (coolies).
This is the distinction, Mr. Gargi Devi. The Government of England from Elizabeth down to Victorian days was (except for permanent officials) voluntary. It is only quite recently that our legislators who control the Goverament, who vote for or withhold financial supplies have been paid or Kuli workers. In the old days there were many poor men in Parliament and in the {Cabinet (Government) but their, services to the country were voluntary and not "paid." These I ma tain were better "men than any "hired" parliamentarian such as to-[day are to be found in the House Commons.
