is incumbent on the whole Chinese

Using Hua Students, Manifesto.

Using Hua Students Manifesto.
China, the great nation, has long
been suffering the bondage Of foreign
oppression. However, in all circum-
stances, she has been patient and gen.
erous, extending her hospitality to all
alike that inhabit and visit her
ground. Her people. lovers of peace
and order, have maintained thruout
the ages an attitude of goodwill and
friendship toward her neighbors.
Alas! Her hope of peace has been
again and again INSTRUCTED by some
that live right under her patronage
and hospitality Ingratitude and injus-
tice that you find in this world are
no more despicable than this! The
most outrageous act of the British and
Japanese happened in Shanghai a few
days ago.
Our fellow students of Shanghai, in
sympathy with the Chinese laborers
who had been killed by the Japanese
mills, were out lecturing in the streets
one day. The right of free speech as
so strongly advocated by these So
called civilized countries, to our great
surprise, was denied to them.
The British policemen forced the
unarmed lecturers to dispense by gun
shots. AS a consequence several of our
brethren were killed. This is the story
sufficient to harrow our souls and
freeze our bloodl Rise up, you own
ers of this great land!
We, the students of Using Hua Col
lege, are indignant over this brutal
treatment of students by the British
and Japanese authorities and so have
prepared this manifesto that it may
be circulated to the effect that we, as
Chinese, representing the republic and
standing for our national sovereignty
should present united front against
foreign oppressionl
In any country, the function Of the
police is to preserve order and Its
deemed a breach of law to abuse their
weapons.

Shanghai is therefore unprecedented

1T seemed like local incident and
could have been easily settled. But

was only an occasion Of the present

which are far deeper and far more

ton in China. II really opens a new
chapter in the history Of China.
Now am going to paint out to
YOU some of the underlying causes OF
the unrest in China.
Causes Explained.
"The frst and immediate cause Is
the intolerable conditions of the Chin
ese workers themselves. With the in.
naturalization OF China, the Chinese
workers suffered the same sad lot as
their brothers in other industrialized
countries.

child work, unsanitary conditions,

the foreign exploitation.

nationally minded to be anti-foreign.

IF he lived today, believe, he
would certainly belong to a workers
party. In China at present It is not
only class struggle but also a strug-
gle of the oppressed nation with the
imperialistic nations.
THE third underlying cause OF the
present unrest is the political DONNA
ton OF China by the foreign powers.
China is not only an economical slave
but also a political slave. She has no
tariff autonomy. She cannot protect
some of her industries, that need pro-
lection. She cannot raise enough re-

ment that can maintain order and
peace.

talists. Started as a local incident,
the movement has spread rapidly as
a protest against the foreign exploit

as individuals and China as a nation
are the economical slaves of the CAPT

with the support of their respective
governments have extorted from
China concessions Of various kinds,

Foreigners Are Exploiters
Il may frankly tell you that the
Chinese people are fighting foreigners
now not because they are foreigners
but because these foreigners are also
exploiters. In other words, the pres

The letter signed by Charles Krum-
bein, district organizer, follows
Dear Sirs and Brothers.
THE Chinese people are waging
valiant struggle for their independ-
ence and against the brutal oppression
of the foreign imperialists. The toll
ing masses of China demand that the
imperialists get out of China and let
the Chinese people develop freely
their own lives and manage their own
affairs.
lmperialists Murder Rule
but the rapacious imperialists Of
America. England, Japan and France,
the capitalist powers that are holding
China in their grip, refuse to accede
to the rightful demands of the Chinese
people Foreign Imperialism is de-
termined to hold on to China by sheer
force, by falling, persecution and
wholesale murder.

SEES. At the same time the imperialists
and milltarists are using the Chinese
situation as pretext to mobilize their
forces to a new attack on Soviet Rus

These efforts of the bankers and
mperlalists mean a new world war in
which the workers will be sacrificed
for the greed and profits of big bust
ness. They mean more suffering and
misery for the masses of England,
France and Japan, as we'll as for the
people of China.

1--WE, the workers of Philadelphia,

July II, 1926 declare: That the con-

British and Japanese Imperialism into
all parts of the world, and particularly
in the Orient, is danger not only to
the hundreds of millions of colonial
and semi-colonial peoples, but to all
the workers of the world.

TOPEKA COUNCIL

to Imperialism
BY JESSE A. KEE5LE.
Worker Correspondent.

TOPEKA, Kan.-The last meeting
of the Topeka industrial council was
not as large as usual. This was part
ly due to the intensely hot evening
and partly to the fact that a good
many of the delegates were attending
a protest meeting at the Y. W. G. A.
in conjunction with the w. c. T. U.
and several other organizations to
prevent the adoption of the Winston
primer as a text book in the Kansas
schools. What the meeting lacked in
numbers 1t made up in enthusiasm.
FaVors Chinese Liberation.
The following resolution was intro
duced by Delegate j. T. Filler from
the Brotherhood of Railway Carmen
and unanimously adopted;
WHEREAS. the exploiters of labor
in England, France, Japan and the
United States. in order to evade pay
ing the required standard of wages Of
these respective countries, have in
vested their capital in China and Mex
leo, and at this moment are carrying
on Joint military Intervention to sub
due the revolt of the Chinese masses,
Means War.
This means war, this means the
sacrifice of thousands of people on the
altar Of capitalism; it means more
suffering and misery for the masses
of England, America, Mexico, Japan
and France as we'll as the people of
China.
THE labor movement of the United
States is vitality interested in the sue
cess of the struggle of the Chinese
workers against the capitalist exploit
ers as well as the struggles OF the
Chinese people for national freedom
and independence.
Demands A. r. Of L. Act.
Therefore be it resolved that the
industrial council Of Topeka, Kansas,
call upon the executive committee Of
the American Federation of Labor to
use all the influence and power at
their command to arouse the working
class of America to the enormity Of
the situation.
| Be it further resolved, that copy
of these resolutions be given to the

| Mr.. Tom Tilma, editor of the labor
! paper at Wichita, Kansas, was present
and made an excellent talk urging the
workers here to start labor college
here, soon after Labor Day, to study
economics from a laborer's viewpoint
and other things of vital interest to
labor.
It was voted to take up for discus.
sion at the next industrial council the
question of an open forum to get
speakers to talk to the laborers and
discuss labor subjects.

Communists Appeal
10y ROsta servlce)

MOSCOW, June 1s.-(5y MaiD-M.
Brown and M. Sonar, members OF
the British and French Communist
Parties, respectively have, under
their Joint signatures, published
declaration, in which they state that
II the Second International and the
Amsterdam international Federation
of Trade-Unions agree to the PROPOSE
tIon of the comintern Communist In
ternationaD and the Profintern (lnter-
national of Red Labor Unions) regard
ina Joint assistance to China, the
warships and machine guns of the inn
periaIists will have no force against
such organized united front OF the
working class"
No Technical Delay.
This proposition must be quickly
accepted; declining it for any formal
reasons or otherwise would be disas-
trous. There is yet another POSSIBLE
ity. which must be carefully avoided,
namely that the Second and the Am
sterdam Internationals might try
either to dodge their answer or even
seize upon the opportunity to use the
proposal for polemic purposes.
Immediate measures must be taken.
the authors of the declaration urge,
TO secure the active unity of the front
nf world labor with the Chinese peo-
ple against international Imperialism.
The steps taken in England for organ
fling a united workmen's front on
national scale are bound to influence
the Second international and the Am
sterdam organization.
British Unions Stand True.
Such activity on the part of the
British working class is the more I'M
portant, remark Comrades Brown and
Sonar. as it shows Chat while Britain
is the directing and active factor OF
international Imperialism in China
the British workers are taking anew
stand against imperialism. 1t is in
deed interesting to note that less than
year ago, the left wing of the British
labor movement was unable to make
the labor organization support China
Quick Action Imperative.
There is no doubt but that the NIL
noritv of the Amsterdam Trade-Union
Federation is sincerely in favor OF
unity of the labor movement and viii
welcome an attempt to organize sup
port of the Chinese people to large
scale. Be it as it may. any attempt to
dodge or decline the proposition Of
the Comintern and the Prohntern viii
only result in bringing discredit upon
the Second International and the Am
sterdam International Federation OF
Trade Unions in the eyes not only Of
the Chinese people, but of all the
awakening peoples of the East anC

which still have confidence in them
