38 DR. BABASAHEB AMBEDKAR : WRITINGS AND SPEECHES
can this New Order be established if the Allied Nations lose the war ? That is the supreme question which Labour knows it would be fatal to shirk or to avoid. Can this New Order be established by sitting idle and refusing to fight? Labour believes that Victory for the Allied Nations is the only hope of such a New Order coming into being. If the Allies fail, sure enough there will be a New Order. But the New Order will be no other than the Nazi Order. It will be an Order in which liberty will be found to be suppressed, equality denied, and fraternity expurgated as a pernicious doctrine.

As though this is not humiliating enough, the Nazis have declared that the Brown Races shall be the serfs of the German and the White Races. They arc not to have education, they arc not to have any liberty—political or economic.

No one who compares the Nazi Order with the New Order which Labour has in view, can have any doubt that Labour, in making up its determination to fight for the Allies and to defeat and destroy Nazism, has taken up a position which is the only position which all sensible people can take. There are, however, people who refuse to take this view.
There are some who think that they do not mind a Nazi victory’ and the coming of the New Nazi Order. Fortunately, not many of these are to be found in the country. Those who take this view are not serious
