WASHINGTON, D. c., July 3d.
While Secretary of State Kellogg was
denying that his department had ever
issued statements that other powers
had agreed to the American proposal
for a conference Of the nine powers
on the subject Of revision of the
Chinese treaties, President Green of
the American Federation of Labor
gave out the complete text of the APP
peal cabled him from the South China
government at Canton. II reads as fol-
lows:
First WI Pei Flu, and now Chang
Tso-lin, came into power in nearly
the whole of northern and central
China. He came to power because of
the support given him by another
group of imperialists. Now that he is
in power he continues to be more
faithful to his foreign masters than
TO the aspirations of his own people
ike the rest of his predecessors he
will be overthrow end so on ad in
initum.
seems to the average foreign observer,
has become perfectly clear to the
thinking men of our own country. We
believe this confusion to be due to
the unequal international status of
China. We are certain that so long
as the unequal treaties exist China
will not be able to put her house in
order.
want Keys TO Our Own House."
Therefore we demand that our in
ternational status be forthwith chang
ed on the basis of equality with other
nations. Our people demand nothing
but what they are ready to accede to
other nations-equality in information
al relations, independence in the ex-
ercise of their sovereign rights.
This entails the abolition of extra
territorial rights, foreign jurisdiction,
economic privileges which are un-
lateral in their nature.
I'VE demand the reversion of the
maritime customs to the nation that
it might have the chance of adopting
such economic policies as would adj
vance our economic development We
demand the keys to our own house.
The abolition of the unequal treaties
will at once cut the vicious roots
which have been supporting and nour-
ishing all our evils .
Asks A. r. Of /. TO Halt U. S.
Government Atrocity.
China is not led by agitators who
are supposed to be stirring up trouble
against foreigners. China is rising be-
cause there isia deep-seated feeling
OF wrongs and injustices suffered at
the hands Of soulless exploiters. She
is unable to endure these wrongs and
injustices any longer.
"china appeals to you for fair
play, for she, is certain II the real
facts will be known to you, you
will not suffer your government to
continue their atroeious policies In
this country even for a day.
"You will add your voices to ours
in the common demand for justice
which to us means independence and
to you means no harm at all, on the
contrary, it will mean to you more
economic prosperity, more assurance
that the peace of the world will not
be endangered
Anyway, we can not all be ex-
terminated thru such massacres as
have recently taken place in the most
important cities OF our country. 1t
can only spur us on in our endeavors
to free ourselves from Imperialism
thru means which the most far
sighted of us can hardly foretell.
Peoples of the world, we appeal to
you for justice. Help us TO do away
with the evil thing called unequal
treaties"
