Urges Chinese Have Courage.
Il am happy, on this day, which is
the anniversary Of our revolution and
our national holiday, to welcome here
the representatives of the Chinese
government and national army and Of
the people Of China.
China is now passing thru hard
days, which are made still more diff
cult by the internal struggle and for
eign intrigues. However, you must
not lose courage and confidence in
your victory, if you are resolute and
ready to fight to the end without any
fear Of obstacles or intimidation.
''The example of Soviet Russia
ought to show that with the viii to
fight and conquer in this struggle.
into which all the Chinese people have
been drawn, victory is bound to be
yours. Indeed, the Chinese people
must and will conquer, but It is nee
essary that not individual leaders but
all the nation be attracted to the con-
struction Of new national life.
There is this in common between
struggle and destinies of the people
of China and the Union Of Soviet 81
cialist Republics that our internal diff
culties during the last six years an6
yours during all the years Of tn,
Chinese republic are intertwined an6
are indissolubly bound with external
conditions and the international situa
ton Of the country.
Treaties Should Be Torn Up.
II was glad when / saw this morn
ing the statement of the Chinese min
lister Of foreign affairs, who spoke
quite naturally in careful terms-of
the revision Of treaties with foreign
powers as being in the order of the
day. Now, as / am not the foreign
minister OF the republic of China,
may be permitted to say more def
nitely that those treaties should not
only be revised; they ought to be torn
asunder, abolished, because they
strangle China and because China
cannot live under them. No govern
ment, no efforts to reconstruct and
Improve the administration Of the
country can be successful unless you
will throw of the chains that bind
each movement and each attempt Of
yours to help the Chinese people.

agreement recently concluded be-
tween the union and China and which

as a basis for the pending negotia-

You, we are happy that the October
