WORKERS of all lands!
W In the last few days we have
received new particulars concerning
impending acts of summary justice
on representatives of the Chinese peo-
pie. Quite recently fourteen and now,
with thirteen new victims of the Brit
ish policy of provocation, twenty-seven
members of the Kuomintang, arrested
by the British authorities, have been
handed over by them to the murderers
Of Mukden.
At any moment we may expect that
these q fighters of revolutionary
China will share the fate of many
thousands of sons of the Chinese peo-
pie, tortured, victimized or beheaded
by Chinese military and counter-revo-
lutionary bands.
The arrest of the % is sign of the
open cooperation of the imperiallsts
with the black forces of China.
THE passing of the imperialists to
l. frank support of the Chinese
murderers could be noticed gradually
during recent months. After numerous
shootings in Shanghai and Picking,
perpetrated under pretext of defense
against attacks" we had in September
Of this year a regular slaughter in
Whansien. A peaceful town was sub
mitted to a bombardment, which re-
suited in 200 men killed, 500 wounded
and 1900 homes destroyed. A few days
later, as II in response to the protest
OF the Chinese representative at a
session Of the league of nations, 10
students were sentenced TO death in
Picking on a charge of agitating for
the Kuomintang. The outburst of in.
dignation all over the country pro.
yoked demonstrations of protest on
the part OF tens and hundreds OF thou.
sands Of people, which were followed
by new shootings and murders.
Every attempt to give assistance to
the families Of those killed and i'm.
prisoned is being severely forbidden.
With all the weight of their apparatus
the imperialists fell on the Chinese
Aid Society, a mass organization of
the Chinese people, which succeeded
during one year in enrolling about
100000 Individual and over 100000 col
lective members and getting the most
enthusiastic response amongst the

The unrestrained terror of the i'm
perialists and their supporters has
been provoked by an enormous revo-
lutionary movement in China, which is
growing stronger every day.
THIS terror will increase IN accord
ance with every advance Of the
popular armies, with each victory in
the direction of the emancipation of
China from slavery.
Workers and peasants of the whole
world!
The eyes of the Chinese people are
now directed to the Mukden Jail where
the impending execution of % Chinese
revolutionaries is being anxiously
awaited. But at the same time their
eyes are directed Westward towards
their brother laboring masses with a
hope of their support and assistance.

tions. Nobody should. remain a pas.
