BY MANUEL GOMEZ.

XTTORDS no less than men are creatures OF history.
w That explains why one mans utterance will now
and then seem to have come out Of the threats OF
millions. Scarcely is such word or phrase utter
ed. when It fills the world with its importance.
. How else shall we account for the unmistakable
magic OF two short paragraphs in the interview
which the youthful Cantonese commander General
Chang Kai Shek gave out on November 22nd thru
the Associated Press? Those two paragraphs have
already been repeated. from end of the world
to the other. Everywhere great masses Of people
have been thrilled by them
The interview as a whole of great significance,
for 1t was blunt exposition of the concrete meas
ures which the allied national revolutionary forces
Of south and northwest China propose to take, for
the unifcation of China and the roofing out of inn
periast stronghods But the paragraphs referred
to above do not confne themselves to the Chinese
situation.
Listen! 1t is the Chinese revolution speaking:
"This revolution purposes the downfall of inn
periaIism, not as it is confined to China alone,
but our opposition to it must spread to other
countries under imperialist yoke"
1t is not strange that the whole world should feel
the impact of those words. waiting and respons-
i've audience has been created for them by the same
historic forces that gave them utterance.
The Chinese revolution proclams itself part OF
the universal revolution
No one is surprised-for history has been moving
forward rapidly particularly in China. Yet we
must realize that we are in the presence Of some
thing new.
Dr. Sun Vat Sen set the feet of the Chinese revo
luton upon this path before he died. He saw De-
yond the borders of his native land and recognized
the Importance for China, of the revolutionary work
ing-class movement as embodied in the Communist
International and the Union of Socialist Soviet Re-
publics. More and more it became plain to him
that the Communists enemies Of imperialism
against which he too obliged to struggle his
Iastn VIII and testament which is read to this day
at every Kuomintang meeting, counsels the party
to remain faithful to the alliance with Soviet Rus
STA.
Nevertheless, DR.. Sun tended to see the alliance
as an isolated thing-something between China and
Soviet Russia, or between China and the Commu-

Counts his beads,

one Of the prime movers in the World Congress
Against Imperialism which to take place at Brus-
sels Belgium, beginning January 2, 1927 Chang
Kai Sheks statement is a re-affrmation Of the same
general policy It becomes a public policy of the
Canton government boldly stated before the world
by an outstanding government representative
There is nothing new in the idea that colonies and
semfcolones cannot be kept forever under the heel
of imperialism. But General Changs statement 10
predicated upon the assumption of world upheavaL !
One must understand it in the light of whole
series of contemporary happenings-in Morocco, in
Egypt in Syria, in Arabia in Turkey, and in India
It is put forward not theoretically but mitanty as
an expression of the will to struggle. leading
member of nationalrevolutionary government is
speaking, generalissimo with army at his back!
Definite strategic possibilities therefore present
themselves, appealing to millions who have Deen
held in subsection and pointing the way to emanci-
patton for many small peoples who have sometimes
looked upon their as hopeless.
Lenin's mighty slogan: workers and subject
peoples unite!," comes again forcibly to mind when
reading the words of General Chang.
China is a country of 44OOOOOOO people making
up onefourth of the human strong and un-
fled China, freed Of the shackles of Imperialism
that is something that every imperialist power
breads and every enemy Of Imperialism must hope
for "a e+.f j
II the policy expressed by Chang is maintained

enormously increasing the influence Of the Chinese
revolution upon all colonial and semi-colonia peo-
pies The great movement which has sprung up IN
the Near East, particularly exemplhed by the
Arab peoples will draw closer. But the most de-
csive effect will be upon those subject nations thae
are contiguous to nearby the territory of China
such nations as Korea, French Indo-Chna, Burma

In all these countries support for the Chinese

Hadge Meets a Woman Who Is
 Marked for Death

Instincdvely I bent low over my books as Lucia Meredith came to- ward the corner of the big reference room at the public library where was making the intensive review of mediaeval history which Lillian had asked of me. Though but a min- ute before I had been searching my brain for some way of voiding the promise the beautiful, selfish wife of brilliant Hal Meredith had wrested from Katherine. yet l shrank from meeting the coolly hostile glance which l was sure her eyes would hold for me. 1 had not forgotten the unaccountablc and instinctiye antagonism which had sprung up between us upon the occasion of her only call at the farmhouse, and was sure that her memory was as good as mine.
 Of course possessing the terrible pending doom. inevitable, though unsuspected by herself, which Kath- erine had given me, there was no trace of rancor in my heart for the wife of the famous alienist, even thought I knew that there lived no more self-centered and interruptions woman than she. But it was that very knowledge which made me shrink from any contact with her. Talking to her, l told myself il would be like conyersing with q prisoner in the death cell.
 Lucia Mcrcdith'S Arrogance
 She came straight toward the table at which l was sitting, and without a glance at me. sat down, forestalling with a quick impatient push of the books I had spread out before me, the hasty movement had made to take them out of heI way. The little incident was illumi- native Of the arrogance which was always evident in Lucia Meredith's dealings with strangers or in fact with all people save those, few ir number, whom she considered her social equals or superiors.
 Unobtrusively l packed my book: more compactly at my side Of tn table, and tried to go on with my work. But l found myself so upse' by her unexpected advent, uncannily following my troubled speculation

 Madge Reviews the Situation Swiftly I went over the things Katherine had told me about Dr. Hal Meredith-unloved and unlov- ing husband Of the souless beauty. whom. because of his debt to her father, he had married to save her from disgrace.

 All his scruples had been for Katherine. There had been none for himself or for Lucia. She had been his wife only in name for some years and her heart, if she possessed one. long had been given to Philip Scars dale. This was the famous portrait artist who frequently had depicted her exotic and remarkable beauty ,upon his canVaSeS.

But a sudden illness of Lucia Meredith's had necessitated an ap- parently simple operation which had revealed a hopeless condition Of one of her organs, There was nothing to be done but 10 make as easy as possible her swift progress to the grave. With all the resources at his command her husband was fitting up a luxurious private hospital suite in a house overlooking the Hudson river. Lucia had been told that fl she wished to recover her former vibrant health, she must submit to a long course of treatment. She had asked for few weeks of her usual routine before taking up the treat lments. and her husband, knowing that nothing mattered had consent ,cd.
