If the Government really desire to remove the wants of the Indian people, it should send Indian youths to England in order to have them taught in the working of machinery. India is suffering heavy loss for the want of knowledge. The manufacture of jute cloths is very profitable. But educated Indians do not engage in that profitable business. Manchester drains away the wealth of this country by making cloth out of its jute. The writer complains that every European country levies duties upon goods imported from India. Even, London, the home of free trade, levies duties upon Indian gold and silver plates. This oppression will not cease until India begins to manufacture articles with the aid of machinery.

Among the various exhibits of the Calcutta Exhibition, the mechanical appliances of Ghatak Iron Works deserve mention. These include the rice-husking machine, flour-husking machine, pump, etc. Late Jagadishwar Ghatak, the father of the present proprietor Babu Umapati Ghatak, first introduced rice-mill in Bengal almost thirty-five years ago. Today rice-mill is a flourishing industry throughout Bengal. The Ghatak Iron Works also first established match factory in Bengal and invested huge amount of money to strengthen the industry. Many aspirant young men learnt the art from them and started match industry successfully. Their match-making machine was the centre of attraction in the Calcutta Exhibition of 1923–24 and won gold-medal and felicitation. Their inventive capacity is commendable.
