were voluntarily surrendered by the,

instance where the diplomatic repre-

Almost the first foreign alliance
consummated by the government of
revolutionary Russia was with Must
afa Renal Pasha and his Turkish
liberation movement; this alliance
was maintained thruout the course
of Kemal's struggle to free Turkey
from imperialist rule and was an
important factor in his success. In
Egypt Russia's synfpathies have been
outspokenly with the nationalist move
ment headed by Zaglul Pasha-even
when Zaglul himself threatened to
desert it. British civilization" has
just seized control again in Persia, by
means of a particularly venal coup
d'etat, but a wholesome respect for
the red army of Soviet Russia has
been, and remains, the constant friend
Of Persian independence.
Soon perhaps the forces opposing
the British-inspired coup in Persia
will be denounced in the press of Eu-
rope and America as Communists
and Bolsheviki."
Those are familiar epithets in the
mouths of imperialists, and no doubt
seem fearsome enough to them-but
they have no terrors for the revolu-
tionary nationalists of the colonies
and semicolonies, who have learned
to know imperialism as death-dealing
oppression and Communism as the
ally of national liberation.
EVEN the revolt OF the Riff tribes
- men under Abd-el-Krim has been
attributed to bolshevist propaganda.
This is of course untrue, for it is the
brutal Imperialism of France and
Spain that drove the Riff natives to
war for freedom. Nevertheless, no
one doubts where the Soviet govern
ments sympathies are in the strug-
gle. The Communist Party of France
rendered direct, aid TO Abd-el-Krim at
the very time when French imperial
ism was attacking him, and the G. p.
OF France together with the other
Communist parties are the paladins
OF Soviet Russia in western Europe.
National questions are now assum-
ing special significance and acute4

Latin-America, but even in Europe.

"A S the lordly powers of the world
4 = meet each other today across the
table at the Chinese customs confer
ence in Picking, there is one great
nation, deeply concerned in all the
affairs of China, that is conspicuous
ly among those missing. That nation
in Soviet Russia, now the Union of
Socialist Soviet Republics.
Soviet Russia was not invited, and
her request to be included was re-
fused. The reason must be clear to
everybody. Soviet Russia would scar
cely be Of help to the other great
powers in such imperialist aggres-
sions against the Chinese people as
are being re-forged at the conference
table, in the name of guarantees" for
eventual Chinese customs autonomy.
If Soviet Russia were at the confer
ence she would not side with the i'm
perialists. She would expose them.
She would defend the interests of ex-
plotted China.
Lenin called Russia the bridge be-
tween Europe and Asia, capitalist
newspapers tell us that this is the
bridge between civilization and bar
barism. They do not, however, go so
far as to cite in evidence the bloody
assault of British civilization"
against the defenseless students of
Shanghai, or the most recent exploits
of French civilization" in wiping out
whole Moroccan villages and in I'M
loosing upon the old city Of Damascus
such mad orgy of fire and destruc-
ton that even the capitalist world
stands aghast. Happily for the future
of the world, the British and French
militarists do not constitute all of
European civilization, any more than
the United States government, fresh
from its latest rape OF Panama, CON
stitutes all Of American civilization.
The revolutionary proletarian ele-
ments of the west, the class-conscious
vanguard OF the oppressed masses
struggling against exploitation and
imperialism-it is OF these elements
that the Union of Socialist Soviet Re-
publies is the triumphant expression.
They stretch out-the hand Of alliance
to all peoples fighting for national
liberation. Russia is thus no longer
merely the bridge between Europe
and Asia. She is the bridge connect
ing the class struggle of the industrial
proletariat with the liberating move

in no way settled by the great war.
The imperialist powers support the
claims, now of Bulgaria, now OF
Greece, now of Yugo-Slavia - as
their interests may dictate. Soviet
Russia echoes the slogan of Theodore
Alexandrov: Independence for Mace
donia! Similarly, the Soviet Union
endorses the aspirations for Croatiau
autonomy as originally defended by
the republican Croatian party, when
its leader, Raditch, was still loyal to
the interests of his peasant followers.
NUBJECT peoples everywhere are

attitude of the U. s. S. r. toward them

One of the great accomplishments
OF the Russian revolution. as Stain

slogan. Soviet Russia gives It reality.
and demonstrates by its relations
with the subject peoples Of all lands
the unity of the proletariat and ma
tional liberation struggles.
Russia has established the hrst last
ing proletarian dictatorship. She has
also made the first breach in the ring
OF capitalist imperialist states. This
is the unmistakable sign, to the peo-
pies OF the colonies and semi-colonies,

three times that of the United States.
In 1880 Japan had but per cent of
China's foreign trade. In 1899 this
had increased to IL per cent and in
1918 to 20 per cent. During the
world war she made huge gain, her
proportion reaching in 1917 over one
third, 35 per cent of all China's ex-
ternal commerce. From 1899 to 1913
the tonnage of Japanese steamers en-
gagged in the Chinese trade Increased
by five times, and has been growing
ever since.
CONTRIBUTING to the building up
~ of this commerce are the thous-
ands of Japanese firms in China itself.
Here there is also the record of an
enormous growth. In 1875 there was
one such company in Shanghai. There
were 1876 in 1899. Fourteen years

There is littleudoubt that the bust
ness interests of China will try to
build up the native industry thru a
protective tariff if customs autonomy
is secured. Very naturally they
would seek to adjustarates in such a
way as to build up their export trade
in coal and do away with the huge
importations from Japan; and at the
same time hinder the export of iron
ores and encourage the growth of steel
manufacturing. Each of these meas

ures would become a double-edged
sword at Japan's throat.
I" TAPAN'S economic life," as a cor
= respondent states in the Trans
Pacific recently, depends on the free
and regular exchange of commodities
with China" The Mitsui expert
whom we have previously quoted be-
lieves the prospects facing Japan are
so threatening that Japan must de-
velop into highly technicalized in
dustrial nation to maintain ITSELF"
Under such circumstances as these
what can Japan's policy be towards
the Chinese conference? 1t has al
ready been pointed out that from the
standpoint of her commercial inter-
ests any increase in the Chinese tariff
would work to her disadvantage and
absolute autonomy would be disaas-
trous. On the other hand, the large
outstanding loans owed to Japan can
not be paid unless China has an in
creased government revenue and the
customs seem the only method Of
realizing such additional income. An
other complication comes from the
fact that in the fierce International
struggle for control of China the feel
ings of the Chinese people themselves
must be taken into account, particu-
larly because the Soviet Union will
fully exploit any attitude hostile to
the workers and peasants of China.
1t is this latter and comparatively new
factor in the tangled Far Eastern
