listen to the cries of the workers and
students Of China at Shanghai and
other parts of China?
"They are carrying on an unprece-
denied strike
What are they struggling for?
They are struggling for their emanci-
patton from the yoke of the Janaese
mill owners at Tsingtao and Shanghai.
The strike has since spread to other
factories and other parts of China
where conditions are very bad.
American workersI Do you know
that the bosses In these factories have
the right to BEAT UP the workers?
The strikers demand that CORPORAL
PUNISHMENT in the factories shall
be abolished.
Little children six years old are
employed in these mills. Just think
of that, you American fathers and
mothers! The strikers demand that
this terrible practice be stopped.
Horrible Conditions.
THE strikers-men, women and
children-want a few cents more
day increase in wages. Children are
now getting as little as $500 a month
for IL hours a day, with only an oc-
casional holiday, and no Sundays off.
These awful conditions were publicly
admitted to prevail by an investigat-
ing committee at Shanghai a few
months ago. The mill owners them
selves had half of the members of this
committee. The manufacturers are
making huge profits.
THE owners refused to make even
these slight concessions! Instead,
they called upon the soldiers and DO
lice to arrest and beat up the poor,
unfortunate strikers. Many of the
workers were murdered and great
numbers arrested. Their leaders
were courtmartialed and some of
them shot in cold blood.
1.-THE students of Shanghai, aroused
by this terrible injustice done to their
fellow countrymen, came to their sup
port and demanded their release. For
this simple request for justice. the
students were fred upon by the DO
lice of the foreign concessions and
mercilessly slaughtered.
Cry Of the Far East.
"On the pretext of restoring order
at Shanghai, the governments of the
great capitalist powers sent their war
ships and landed their marines to
crush the Chinese workers. Because
of these oppressive measures the
workers and students thruout China
protested by calling sympathetic

es. 1t requires no prophet to
foresee that much blood will be
shed yet in Shanghai, and that
the cry of the 400 million Chin
ese, Away with the imperialists
from China" will become ever
louder.
The imperiaIlsts' Alternative.
Imperialism which cannot exist
without plundering the colonies and
semi-colonial lands, is facing the prob
lem, either the greater exploitation Of
the colonies or acceleration of the
proletarian revolution at home.
The intensifcation of colonial ex-
ploitation will accelerate the prog
ress of the national liberation move
ment in the East, thereby facilitating
the proletarian revolution in the i'm
perialist states like England. The
world historical significance of the
Shanghai happenings consists in the
very clear demonstration of this truth.
At moment when the Chinese
workers are passing from very mod
crate economic demands to the slo.
gan: Away with the Imperialists! ="
they are becoming the most import
ant factor in the international prole-
Z tartan revolution.
Rapid Loss of ImperiaIist Power.
The relative revolutionary import
ance of the British proletariat was
for long time small because there
were in its ranks many imperialistic
elements as well as a petty bour-
geois resistance against the idea of
proletarian revolutions The revolu-
tionarizing process that has now set
in among the British proletariat is
organically connected with the de-
cline of British imperialism.
The growing self-consciousness Of
the working class in the colonial and
semi-colonial countries and the de-
cline of the imperialistic spirit among
the workers of the imperialist states,
are two parallel symptoms of one and
the same process.
PoWerfulness of the Chinese
Proletariat.
The Chinese proletariat counts only
100000 out of population of 400,-
100000. But it becomes obvious that
the Chinese working class can be-
come the leader of the great national
liberation movement when we take
the following facts into considerations
l. The Chinese working class can
not be infected with imperialist ide-
ology on the contrary, it is com
PEELED by the objective situation to
assume the leadership in the struggle
Of the Chinese people against impe-
rialism.
2. The vanguard of the Europ-
can proletariat, led by the Comintern,
recognizes the great significance of
the Chinese proletariat and floods its
way with feminist light.

students that took part in the demon
stration.
The Chinese government thereupon
sent a still more energetic note with
the categorical demand that all the
prisoners be freed; in this note it was
also pointed out to the foreign powers
that the bullet holes in the backs Of
those shot furnish the best evidence
against the guilty ones.

and American troops fired for
no reason at all upon the work
ers; the result was eight killed,
eleven severely wounded and a
large number slightly wounded.
Vicious White Guard Nearly Lynehed
Workers Organizer.
The limits of the foreign quarter
are guarded by machine guns. The
volunteer troops repeatedly attempt
ed to attack the Chinese section, but
they retreated before the Chinese po-
lice, who only with difficulty managed
to save the captured volunteers from
lynching.
The strike movement is spreading
Not only the workers but all Office
employees as well as the Chinese bust
nessmen, banks and students are in
volved in the strike. The workers
of the electrical power station had
been forced at the point of the gun
to stay at their work and were re-
tanned in the building, but they finally
succeeded in disarming the guard and
to flee.
Four Chinese, twenty Japanese and
a number Of British textile mills, with
total of 10000 workers are involved
in the strike. With the exception of
the Bulletin of the newly formed
Trade Union Cuncil, the entire press
is laid still. The whole port is tied
up.
Strike Spreads to All Elements.
The total number of strikers reach
es about 125,000-a number unparal-
led in the history of the Chinese Ia
Dor movement. Hundreds of Chinese
living in the foreign section have
moved to the Chinese quarters. The
anti-imperialist movement is spread
ing thruout China. Numerous demon
STATIONS took place in Marking, Han
kow, Hangchu and other towns.
In Picking there took place many
mass meetings in which tens of thou
sands and workers participated. The
student body sent kilograms to the
British and Japanese labor organiza-
tons with an appeal for support in
their struggle against imperialism.
The professors of the National Uni
versity of Picking are accusing the
Chinese government of lack of en-
ergy, and demand the recall of the
British and japanese consuls from
Shanghai, the punishment Of the for
eign police, the compensation of the
victims families, an official express
sion of regret on the part of the
guilty foreign powers, and the restor-
alton of Chinese sovereignty over the
concessioned section of Shanghai
Even the Y. Nj. C. A. Protests.
Even the American Y. NJ. c. A. is
sued a statement stigmatizing the
bestiality of the imperialists, and
pointing out the need OF revising the
foreign treaties that enslaye the Chin
ese people.
Yesterday being the anniversary of
the anti-Japanese strike of 1918. the
occasion was commemorated by a
mass meeting comprising some thirty
thousand workers and students, who
issued an appeal to the nations of the
whole world, and also sent kilograms
to the labor party and to the Com
munist Party OF Great Britain.
