Or. Sun Vat Sen, president OF
the revolutionary government
of Southern China, today de-
cIared his intention of seizing
customs receipts in Canton in
order to raise funds for his Red
Army.
This action may cause the
British government to openly
participate in the civil war on
the side of the Chinese Fascist.
Predicts United Nation.
British forces have already on more
than one occasion given support to
the Canton merchants, but in case
Sun carries out his threat, It ls be-
lieved that the British government,
tho still under the direction Of Ram
say Macdonald, socialist premier, viii
make open war on the workers of
Southern China.
Sun Vat Sen in an interview to The
DAILY WORKER representative in
Canton, declared that China will be a
united nation and that India will also
achieve her independence.
Puts Blame on lmperialIsts.
He blamed the imperialist powers
Of the world for the present civil war
fare. The Chinese revolution must
go on, he declared, until the old sys-
tenn is rooted out bag and baggage.
DR.. Sun was generous in his praise
l nf hn Of ~ rzk
ward China. He seemed proud Of the
friendly relations that existed between
Canton and Moscow and said that
Soviet Russia was the only govern
ment in the world, that was helping
the Chinese masses on the road to
unity, peace and prosperity.
Under the czarist regime" declar-
ed the revolutionary president, who,
by the way looks extremely healthy
considering his recent death by assas-
! sination, as reported in the capital
list press, Russia was the foe of
China. But since the workers seized
power. they have shown time and
again that the interests of the Chi
nese workers are as dear to their
hearts as the interests of the work
ers within the borders of the great
Workers Republic.
| Russia Shows Friendship.
zone of the first acts of the Sow
let government" continued Sun, was
to abolish the extra privileges for for
eigners and to remit the Russian
share Of the Boxer indemnity. Russia
is the only country that has met us
with open arms. The other countries
have prosecuted us. Is it any won
der that the Chinese masses should
have a deep feeling of love In their
hearts for the mighty power Of Red
Russian"
Asked if the Chinese workers were
influenced by the anti-Communist
propaganda put out by the capitalists
newspapers in China, principally the
British papers, he replied:
Not Worried by Lies.
1.-THE Chinese workers are not as
unintelligent as our enemies pretend
to believe. 1t. does not take very much
thinking on their part OF realize that
those people who are putting out this
anti-Soviet propaganda, are their own
prosecutors and they understand that
tie capitalist sheets hate the Soviet
government because it is 4 workers
government.
THE cry Of Communism has no ter.
rors for the workers of southern Chi
ma. In fact, they delight in being call
ed Red and look on the Red flag as
the only banner worth fighting under
"The great powers are afraid that
II China is united and the thieving
tuchuns put where they belong, an
other and greater Japan wiz confront
them. WI Pei Flu, who is supported
by the British and American govern
ments. are trying to unity the country
by force and establish his dictatorship
which would be no improvement on
the Manchu dynasty.
II could have unified China, but the
capitalist powers are fighting me. We
must develop China industrially.
China is an agricultural country with
surplus population which brings
problems OF banditry.
British Fear for India.
"The American state department
follows Downing Street" said Sun.
'The British know that the Hindoos
are following closely the develop
ments in China. They know that once
India goes, the empire is no more.
India is the keystone Of the British
imperial ssytem, but we predSt that
the day Of the British empire 10 draw
