The ImperiaIist Attack on Chinese People

lacking from the north and against
the troops of Chang Tso Lins agent,
the former governor of the province
Of Shantung, which are attacking
from the south, would be, in a catas-
trophic position, should Chang Tso
Lin's troops appear in their rear.
THE allies note represents a diplo-
1 matte victory of British imperial
ism. British Imperialism is encounter
ing two chief obstacles in its endeav-
ors ito restore order in China" The
first is the fact that it finds it difficult
to make up its mind to tie it's own
hands by involving it's forces in the
fight in China. The second is its fear
of diplomatic isolation. British i'm
perialism is trying to overcome the
first obstacle by supporting the coun-
ter-revolutionary forces of China
itself.
There is not the slightest doubt that
both Chang Tso Lin and WI Pei Flu
are at present enjoying England's sup
port; it is indeed by no means out Of
the question that an agreement has
been concluded between them and
Great Britain and Japan which, in
case of a victory over the peoples
armies, would allow Chang Tso Lin to
proclaim the independence of China,
in which case north and central China
would be united under the rule Of WI
Pei Flu.
This would imply England's consent
to Japan actually taking possession Of
Manchuria under the cover of Chang
Tso Lin's rule, whilst in north and
central China WI Pei Flu would have
to guard the interests of both Great
Britain and Japan.

A S regards the impossibility of iso-
4 A lated action on the part Of Great
Britain, it came very much into prom
inence during the last fight for Can
ton. Great Britain had sounded the
other powers as to whether they
would agree to her taking action
which might lead to an armed cam
paign against the government of Can
ton.
AS, however this action would
above all have required a prolonged
blockade Of Canton, which would have
meant serious injury to the shipping
and trade of Japan and the United
States, neither Japan nor the United
States showed any great desire to sup
port Great Britain. The most recent
note, however, bears the signature of
the United States as we'll. The Amer
lean agency Associated Press" states
that the United States is actually in
clined to interfere, even with armed
force, if the situation demands it..
Any Intervention of this kind on the
part of the United States would imply
an approach of American to British
policy and indirectly to that of Japan.
The editor of the China Weekly Re-
view and the China correspondent of
the New York Times" who is known
as an American expert in the affairs
of the Far East, ascribes the fact that
the United States is obviously becom-
ing reconciled to imperialist interven-
ton, to the influence of local Ameri.

CAMDEN, N. j., May Sixty thou
sand copies of the May edition of the

These copies had been run from the

come more acute. British Imperialism
may now succeed in doing in north
China what it failed in the conflict
with Canton. Not only the Commu-
mist parties, but every labor party
which is an enemy of imperialism,
must raise it's voice in decided pro-
test against this attack.
THE greatest responsibility falls on
= the British labor party. 1t can, if
it wishes, be a powerful force. 1t
ought to understand that it is not
merely question of protesting
against blow aimed at the Chinese
revolution, is is question of opposing
the preparations for a great imperial
list campaign. May the British work
ers clearly understand that armed in
tervention on the part of the imper-
ialist powers in China will rouse a
gigantic popular movement! II Brit
ish and other merchants living in
China are seriously affected by this
movement, the imperialists will en-
bark on a tremendous agitation to at
tack China on a broad front.
Even should the imperialists sue
coed in coming to an agreement with
regard to an attack on China, they
will be quarreling about the division
of the spoil on the morrow. The
whole far east represents a powder
magazine. Anyone who strikes a
match near this powder magazine is
in danger of causing an explosion
which will not be limited to the far
east. The situation demands the ac-
tive Intervention not only OF all
friends of the Chinese revolution but
also of all enemies of new imperialst

chilli WAR-LORD
BETRAYS FORCES
OF KUOMINCHUN
Aids Chang Gain Con-
troll of Picking


The following dispatch from the
Imprecor Agency in Moscow shows
how the Chinese national army was
betrayed by WI Pei Flu, Chilli war
lord, and his generals and were forced
to evacuate Picking and also the rea-
son Japan's insistence on the fierco
bombardment of Picking by Chang
Tso-Lin, Manchurian military dicta-
tor:
MOSCOW, U. S. S. R., April 49,
(By Mail)-The evacuation of Pek-
ing by the national army has been
completed in absolute order. The ma
tional army was the victim of
.treachery. The troops of Tien Wei
Chin, supporters of WI Pei-Fu. failed
to come to the assistance of the ma
tional army in bitter struggle
against the troops under Chang Tso-
Lin as had been agreed upon.
At the same time the ninth divi-
sion which consisted of troops which
a year ago formed the personal body
guard of Tuan TchiHui, abandoned
its positions to the east of Picking.
The main bodies of the Mukden troops
and the army of WI Pei-Fu will not
enter Picking according to a mutual
arrangement until the political situa-
ton in Picking has been finally cleared
up. At present it is difficult to Judge
the situation which has been created
in any detail, altho the domination
of Chang Tso-Lin who is actually in
power in Picking, is a clear fact.
Chinese political circles are firmly
convinced that the determined attack
Of the Mukden troops on Picking was
due to pressure from Japan which
wishes to see Picking taken by Chang
Tso-Lin and the regime of Tuan
Tchi-Hui restored.
Picking is in a panic for fear of
plumber by the advance guard OF the
Mukden army, which has many Rus
sian white guardists in its ranks.
II IS supposed that Tuan is at pres
ent in hiding in the Japanese embas-
sy. There are signs to show that the
diplomatic corps is making prepare
lions to move to some other place
where a central government with
Tuan at its head is to be formed.
II has been discovered that Tuan
has appropriated 100000 intended as
wages for his personal bodyguard
The money in question was not hand
ed to the finance ministry but to
Tuan personally. Chinese circles are
indignant at the cyncism of the dip
lomatic corps which thus handed over
money belonging to China to the
militarists and now declares that
this money did not belong to the
diplomatic corps and that the corps
has therefore no interest in the af-
fair.
According to reports of the Japan
ese agency Nippon Dempo" Tuan
Tchi-Hui will in the next few days
once again appear in the political
arena. Up to the present the situation
Of WI Pei-Fu is not yet clear. Ac-
cording to reports of a Chinese agency
negotiations will take place shortly
between Chang Tso-Lin and WI Pei
Flu.
The Peoples Tribune, the organ of
the Kuomintang which appears in the
English language, writes that the aim
OF the imperiallsts which was to an.
initiate the national forces. of China
has not been achieved. The political
situation caused the national army to
retreat in order TO maintain its fight
ing force, and 1t will still play an i'm.
portant role in the struggle of the
Chinese people for It's emancipation.

even then getting the writ signed in
Jersey City and was speeding to Gar

up his palm and the hall doors were
opened. A deputy kicked one worker
in the stomach as the crowd streamed
in, and the man who first opened the
doors was taken in the patrol wagon
to the police station. But the meeting
