been radically changed, the supplanting of European by
Indian agency will not make for self-government in this
country.

Nor is it from the British Government that Mr. Pal looks for, or would
accept, _Swaraj_:--

If the Government were to come and tell me to-day "Take
_Swaraj" I would say thank you for the gift, but I will not
have that which I cannot acquire by my own hand....
Our programme is that we shall so work in the country,
so combine the resources of the people, so organize the forces
of the nation, so develop the instincts of freedom in the community,
that by this means we shall--_shall_ in the imperative--compel
the submission to our will of any power that may set
itself against us.

Equally definite is Mr. Pal as to the methods by which _Swaraj_ is to be
made "imperative." They consist of _Swadeshi_ in the economic domain,
i.e., the encouragement of native industries reinforced by the boycott
of imported goods which will kill British commerce and, in the political
domain, passive resistance reinforced by the boycott of Government
service.

They say:--Can you boycott all the Government offices?
Whoever said that we would? Whoever said that there
would not be found a single Indian to serve the Government
or the European community here? But what we can do is this.
We can make the Government impossible without entirely
making it impossible for them to find people to serve them.
