'NO RENT' DRIVE 15 SPREADING More Complicated Affair Campaign in India London.--The "no rent", cam- paign of the Indian peasanis nov gathering force in the Provinces, and which is beginning to cause considerable difficulties for the local British authorities, is a much more complicated af- fair than the civil disobedience campaign of Gandhi, and the In- dian Nations] Congress of last year. On the former ons there were only two parties to the dispute--the Government and the civilly disobedient. But in the United Provinces today the trou- ble is mainly between the manent Indian land-owning c! on one side, and the Indian tens ants on the other. The Indian Government, however, has been unwillingly drawn into the strug- gle and is obliged to participate because the landlords are refus- ing to pay any taxes if the ten- ants do not pay rentals. The struggle is not a part of the Congress of Swaraj Campaign, but the Congress has been assist- ing the peasants in following out its policy of identifying itself with the masses of Indian people against all classes in political ana economic authority over them. The Congress in this case is not fighting over a political issue with the government, but over an economic f{ssue with the Indian landlord class, and the responsi- bility for financing the struggle rests mainly, not on the Congress, but on the tenants concerned. The Congress' activities are confined chiefly to advising the peasants how to organize and con- duct their campaign of passive resistance, and by its dgents en- couraging and directing the peas- ant volunteer agitators, who have come from ull parts of the coun- try to assist the campaign. This influx of volunteer organizers is the result of the tactics employed by the Congress during the last civie disobedience campaign. Training Oentres On that occasion the United Provinces and the Congress se- lected ten candidates from every subdivision of every district and had them trained in passive resist ance tactics at training centres in various villages. These village or- ganizations have been functioning for the last three years, and dur- ing the last two they have secur- ed the services of 6,000 trained volunteers who have been spend- ing their time perfecting village organizations for the gort of con- flict which bas now broken out. Thus the Government's efforts to prevent the spread of the present trouble by restricting the move- ments of the Congress leaders is proving ineffective. The Congress anticipated such an attempt would be made, and the work of agitation is now most- ly in the hands of trained local workers. The next tew weeks will show how far this intensive train. ing of the last two years has been able to solidify the agrarian popu- lation--a solidarity which is nec. essary for a prolonged struggle. Naturally, the Government {is backed by the landlords in the no-rent dispute, and the tenants and the Congress officials claim that the peasants' victory would mean the practical wiping out of the landlord class which has al- ways been a loyal supporter of the Indian Government in the re- sistance to the agitation for the Indian Swaraj. There is, however, another force on the side of the landlord. Every land owner has a retinue of servants and attaches to his house -- servants belonging to families which have served him for generations, and the strong tles created by this semi-feudal system may prove a difficult one for the tenants to break, The ques- tion of finance 1s one of the weak spots of the peasants' campaign but according to some Indian quarters, they have been receiv.
