"We do not believe in rigid autarchy (absolute rule), but we do want to make India as self-sufficient in regards to her needs as far as this is possible. We want to develop international trade, importing articles we cannot easily produce and exporting such articles as the rest of the world wants from us. We do not propose to submit to economic imperialism of any other country or to impose our own on others. We believe that nations of the world can cooperate together in building a world economy which is advantageous for all and in this work we shall gladly cooperate together in building a world economy which is advantageous for all and in the work we shall gladly cooperate. But this economy cannot be based on the individual profit motive, nor can it subsist within the framework of an imperialist system. It means a new world order, both politically and economically, and free nations cooperating together for their own as well as the larger good."
