Sabarmati 23-12-'46 ( From the original in Gujarati ) N. P. THE TEXTILE POLICY OF THE MADRAS GOVERNMENT Commencing from a leading article in the Hindu of Madras up to the present time a good lot of criticism has been levelled against the Textile policy of the Government of Madras as propounded by the Premier. [...] The labour of the millions of the unemployed countrymén of ours should be harnessed together and directed to the benefit of the inhabitants of this vast country of ours of whom a large majority dwell in the seven lacs of our' villages. [...] Is the introduction of more spindles and the establishment of more mills the solution of the problem ? The hungry weavers should be given more work and thereby more wages. [...] Is the progress of a country to be measured by the number of cotton mills or is it to be measured by the status of its man in the street ? Mere addition to. [...] In every department of life individual freedom either to live or to do or not to do a thing according to one's own desire has to be reasonable i. e. consistent with the advancment of the country as a whole and the upliftment of the lowest individual in particular.
