TO ATTACK ON
CHINESE POLICY
Soviet Program Only
Solution in Far East
Especial to The Daily worksrl


MOSCOW, July 15.-(By Mail.)-l
Commenting upon the attacks Of the
English semi-offieial press, particular
Iy the Daily Telegraph, on Soviet min
lister Of foreign affairs Tchtcherin's
recent utteranees regarding the Soviet
policy in China and the Russo-5ritish
relations, the lzvestla observes edto-
rally that the British semi-offcial
comments did not contain even the
least attempt at an essential analysis
Of Tchitcberin's statements.
Thus, remarks the Moscow organ,
there remained unanswered the prin-
ciple indicated by the Soviet peoples
commsisary of foreign affairs to the
effect that the government of the
Union considers the creation Of cen
tralized democratic China, independ-
ent of any foreign pressure, as the
only issue out of the present situa-
ton capable of satisfying the interests
of not only China, but also the coun-
tries standing in need of economic re-
lations with China.
English EnslaVe China.
Now, the English leading press with
out any proofs at all denies the desire
AZ the Soviet government to contrib
respecting the rights of the Chinese
people. But what can more easily
provoke new war than the English
policy of enslaving China? asks the
Izvestia. And what better pledge of
International peace could be found
than the Soviet governments program
of self-determination of nations?
The Moscow paper goes on to COM
pare the outbreaks of the English
press against the Soviet government
in reference to the Chinese events
with the recently increased attacks on
the U. S. S. r. emanating from the
same press in connection with the
American proposal to revise the rights
of extra-territoriality of foreigners in
China, and points out ironically that
the Daily Telegraph's anti-American
diatribc is more. passionate and re-
veals more fear than the anti-Tchitche-
rim one.
Attack American Capitalism.
The directing lines of Britain's
world policy are becoming radically
divergent from the American policy.
Americas proposal Of an International
conference on Chinese affairs is meet
ing with favorable response except on
the part of England, which alone is
interested in the complete suppression
Of the national movement in China
and which alone is carrying on pol
icy of ruthless repression.
England's isolation in the far east
is daily becoming more obvious, with
France carefully keeping in the back
ground of the actual events, while
Japan is engaged in a complex policy,
subtly playing with the Chinese ma
tional movement.
1t is becoming ever more evident
that America is returning to her old
traditional policy in China, as she
has probably realized that Mr. Hughes
Chinese policy was only prejudicial to
American interests. II is also becom-
ng obvious that after a period of
engthy voluntary isolation, America
gradually stepping out into the
worlds arena and slowly gaining
world hegemony.
Soviet Program Only Solution.
With her pacifst humanitarian slo-
gans, America is undermining the
authority of her fellow powers and
rivals, working for personal predomi-
nance. Frightened at this danger,
England is seeking the help Of her for
mer ally. Japan. whom she but recent
ly betrayed. Up to the present. how.
ever, the Englishmen alone are trum-
petlng this new Anglo-Japanese friend
ship, while Il is doubtful that the
clear.sighted Japanese politicians will
be caught in The bait.
In such circumstances, concludes
the leading Moscow organ, only the
prorram OF the Soviet government, as
il is formulated by peoples commits.
