China's Revolutionary
Army Struggles for the
Downfall of Imperialism

EVOLUTION rumbles on IN the
AG Orient. Ever forward!
Out of the thunder Of the north
ward moving revolutionary armies
Of the South Chinese Republic a
voice speaks clearly and confidently.
1t is the voice Of the youthful
general, Chang Kai Shek, and he
declares with note of defiance to
world imperialism, clear and unmis-
taxable, that all treaties hitherto
imposed on China must be scrapped,
that all extraterritorial foreign con-
tcessions must be wiped out, foreign
judicial jurisdiction must be abolish
ed and, then adds:
This revolution proposes
the downfall of imperialism,
not as it is confined to China
alone, but our opposition to it
must spread to other coun-
tries under the imperialist
yoke"
That is encouragement for all the
victims Of imperialism in the Far
East. 1t will help steel the mild
protestings of the Filipinos, it will
inspire the growing militancy Of
Australian labor, it will be more
brightly burning beacon light for
midas suffering millions, 1t will
hearten the victims of Dutch op-
preston in Java and thruout the
East Indies, it will rouse for new
struggles the people Of Afghanistan,
of Persia, of Syria and on into Egypt
and the other countries Of Africa.
American labor, too, must learn
where its interests lie.
The declaration just issued by
General Chang Kai Shek shows con-
clusively that the Chinese revolu-
ton feels the earth solid beneath Its
feet, that it is confident Of quickly
terminating the struggle to drive the
last pro-imperialist war lord" into
the Pacific, and, most important,
that there is inherent in the revolu-
ton sufficient strength to combat
and overcome any armed force that
the foreign imperialists may hurl
against it.
China's national revolution speaks
out with all the self-assurance today
that was shown by the Bolshevik
Revolution of the Russian workers
and peasants in November 7, 1917,
that launched the world social re-
volution.
The declaration by General Chang
Kai Shek, that the American capital
list news agency, the Associated
Press, carries as the days most i'm
portant news to great number OF
the newspapers of this country, is
not the individual opinion Of this
revolution leader. 1t is the express
sion of the revolutionary movement
itself. This is clearly shown by a
comparison of this statement with
the official proclamations issued by
the Kuomintang, the party of the
revolution. In a recent proclama-
ton to the Hang-Kong strikers, the
central executive committee Of the
Kuomintang, declares:
Fifteen years ago the Manchu
Dynasty was overthrow and a re-
public was established. But during
these is years our country was a
republic in name only, in reality 1t
was under the domination of i'm
perialism, militarism and reaction.
The militarists carried on incessant
civil wars which devastated and i'm
poverished our people, while the
imperialists kept us in the state Of
a subjected race, dividing us thru
our own reactionaries and dominat-
ing us economically and politically.
Against these scourges Of our coun-
try the Kuomintang carried on
continual struggle to liberate our
country.
To-day, two and half years after
the first congress OF the Kuomin-
tang, the central executive commit
tee of the party solemnly proclaims
before the revolutionary world that
in entrusting the banners of the ma
| tional revolution To the masses of
