Since my crimes are known to I
nothing and to make a clear breast
crime: Preparation and execution"
Zinoviev then describes the prepar-
alive phase by sketching the most i'm
portant stages of imperialist penetra-
ton in China since the forties of the
XIX century, in others words,-45
years before zinviev was born.
He recalls the first opium war, the
Nankin treaty, the British conquest of
Hong Kong, the second opium war of
1858, the Tientsin treaty, the large
tributes of 1860, the conquest of
China's most important ports by the
aliens, the Japanese war of 1895, the
conquests that followed-by Japan,
Russia, France, Germany and Great
Britain, the consolidation of imperial
list rule in China after the Boxer re-
volt in 19O0,-"The suppression of
which constituted a vial step in the
preparative phase of m5 crime, since
the last 25 years of imperialist brutal
ity and plumber have obviously con-
tributed to causing the present unrest
in China"
Japs Help "Prepare."
zinoviev then proceeds to enumer-
ate the crimes of Japanese imperial
ism in China from 1906 up to the
world war But the most important
factor in the preparation" of the
present unrest in China was the in
naturalization of China that set in in
the forties of the last century, and
the circumstance that the working
conditions in the foreign-owned indus
try are incomparably worse than in
the most backward capitalist country
The Japanese and British capital
lists built factories in China, taking
advantage of the slave status of the
Chinese worker in order to squeeze
surplus profits out of him.
More Red Preparations"
And finally, in order to complete
the preparations" the British and
Japanese officers have recently dis
played their talents by shooting upon
Chinese working children by murder
ing students. by organizing joy rides
with armored cars and tanks thru the
streets of Shanghai, by shooting upon
and unarmed Chinese from
the rear and committing other brave
deeds.
All this of course, happened not on
of the British and Japanese
imperialists, but on Zinoviev's in
for it was only thus pos
sible for the Bolsheviks to create I'M
rest most successfully.
Little Left for Him to Do.
We'll. Mr. Dawson, writes Zino-
admit before the entire world
that | am guilty of all the crimes at
tributed to me, but / should like to
make just one correction: all the
enumerated preparatory measures
were carried out by members of your
camp. After these preparations" we
had but a few details to execute: To
recommend to some Chinese that they
commit suicide as a protest against
the imperialist bestiality; to recon-
mend to others that they cut off their
fingers and write in their own blood |
certain short but expressive senten.
ces; to suggest to hundreds of /
thousands of workers to strike and /
% demonstrate, to bewitch hundreds |
IF thousands of small tradesmen and /
he entire student body of China into
aking part in these actions, and--to
get certain reactionary generals,
lmong them Chang Tso-lin, to con-
ribute considerable sums in support
# the anti-imperialist movement.
But, Messrs. Dawson, your prepa-
ations were so exhaustive that we
lont find 1t difficult at all to commit
he crime OF stirring the hundreds of
Millions of Chinese to unrest, so that
'ou are now unable to appease them
ither with machineguns or with dip
omatic notes.
Mr.. DAWSON seems to be as tai
nted as Mr.. Hicks, the minister OF
he interior, who in speech delivered
" him few days ago, defended the
light trade union leaders like Clynes,
'homas and Macdonald against the
communists. We hope that in the
uture Messrs. Macdonald and Clynes
Till continue to engage such talented
ounsel as with as much influence in
abor circles as Mr.. Hicks enjoys. I
Hicks declares that the British
'rade Union Movement is financed by I
ioscow, and that his predecessor,
IT. Henderson, had said the same.
We may congratulate both! The Brit
sh Trade Union Movement is being
nanced by Moscow, and the Chinese
nrest is being stirred by Moscow.
"All that still remains to be said is
hat the moon was manufactured in
hamburg and that the Japanese earth I
uake was decreed by the executive
the Comintern. Just continue in I
lis manner gentlemenl You are
lessing us with pleasant recrea- .
on"
