Situation in China and
Whistles for Courage
BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

denounce all existing treaties with
the imperialist powers, that extra
territorial privileges will be abol-
ished and that the struggle against
Imperialism will be continued
everywhere, because the Chinese
national revolution is part of the
world revolution, in the words Of
the Chinese spokesman at the op-
ening Of the Seventh Enlarged
Plenum of the executive committee
Of the Communist International at
Moscow, ON Monday.
The New York Times is trying
to laugh that off," 1t says that
General Chiang's "pronunciamen
tos need not be taken too serious
ly, as thew are somewhat on par
with our own party convention
platform resolutions. They are
useful for home consumption"
The big point is that the Chinese
people take the program seriously,
whether Wall Street openly pro-
fesses to or not. They are rallying
in support of it. All are being edu-
Gated to understand 1t. A revolu-
tionary army, continually growing
in strength, has been built in sup
port Of it. 1t is said that old party
programs are built for capitalist
politicians to ride into Office on
The program of the Chinese revolu-
&c rff ~, s,-
built as a unifying instrument for
the Chinese masses to go into
power.
Whereas the American capitalist
party programs are constituted of
a flood of words, the Chinese revolu-
tionary program calls for a flood
of deeds that moves ever onward
engulfng all its enemies. No COM
fort here for the enemies of the
people.
The Times whistles another tune
on the question of Bolshevik infiu-
ence in China. 1t now declares that
the Cantonese movement is neither
Red" nor "pro-Bolshevik," stating
that:
AS matter of fact it suited the
interests of the Cantonese to use
the Russians for a time. Later
they gave the Russian leaders
their walking papers,"
1t was rather unfortunate for The
New York Times that on the same
day this editorial appeared, Shau Ii
TIE, representative of the Kuomin-
tangs party of China. was address
ing the gathering of the Communist
international in Moscow declaring
that the Kuomintang is acting unit
edly with the Communist Party Of
China in the struggle for the eman.
cipation of the Chinese people.
With some of the other conclus-
ions of The Times it is easier to
agree, especially that, "of all the
warning groups in China today the
Cantonese have what most nearly
approximates a constructive pro-
gram" The only other groups of
any consequence are luOSe uedu6u
by WI Pei Flu and Chang Tso Lin,
and they have no program except
to play the role Of cats-paw for ma
tive and alien profiteers. The
forces of the former are especially
going thru process of rapid dis
integration. One of his most pow
erful allies. General Yang Sen, has
just deserted to the Canton cause.
taking with him $4,000 troops in a
most important sector.
Considering all this, in speaking
of the Cantonese. The New York
Times exclaims:
IF their military successes con-
tinue, they may soon command the
attention Of the world"
The Times is wrong again. The
Chinese Nationalist Revolution is
now commanding the attention of
the world. 1t is the duty OF every
American worker and farmer to
study and understand it, because
they may soon be drawn into the
very center of the vortex Of strug-
