(4) The result of boycotting such piece goods must be high prices without corresponding benefit. (5) The boycott therefore being against the law of supply and demand and against the consumer must fail in the end. (6) The destruction of hand spinning which I have deplored is due to natural causes, _viz._ the invention of time-saving appliances and was therefore inevitable. (7) The Indian farmer is responsible for his own ruin in that he has indolently neglected cotton culture which was once so good. (8) The best service I can render is therefore to induce the agriculturist to improve the quality of cotton. (9) The author concludes, 'If instead of filling homes with useless _Charkhas_ he were to start a propaganda for the more intensive cultivation of cotton and particularly for the production of longer staple cotton, his influence would be felt not only at the present day but for many generations to come.' The reader will thus see, that what I regard as the supreme necessity for the economical salvation of India, the author considers to be rank folly. There is therefore no meeting ground here. And in spite of the prefatory note of the Government of India reproduced by me, the author does represent the Government attitude. I have invited them and the co-operators definitely to make common cause with the people in this movement at any rate. They may not mind its political implications because they do not believe in them. And surely they need not feel sorry if contrary to their expectation, the rise of the _Charkha_ results in an increase in the political power of the people. Instead of waging war against _Khadi_, they might have popularised its use and disarmed the terrible suspicion they labour under of wishing to benefit the foreign manufacturer at the expense of the Indian cultivator. My invitation is open for all time. I prophesy that whatever happens to the other parts of the national programme, Swadeshi in its present shape will bide for ever and must if India's pauperism is to be banished.
