Toa Chan began, after he was intro
duced amidst prolonged applause
from the enthusiastic audience. "To-
day / stand before you, a group of
people who are interested and are in
sympathy with the anti-imperialist
movement Of the oppressed people Of
the world
When came to America l read
the newspapers. I found out that
some of the newspapers are not very
truthful; and some are otherwise. To
day am going to tell you some OF
the facts the newspapers many times
misrepresent.
Accused by Manehu.
China was first accursed by the
Manchu, by the despotism of the Man
chu dynasty, Under that government
China contracted many unequal
treaties with foreign powers.
''Dr. Sun Vat Sen, the great leader
of the liberation movement, started a
revolution against the Manchu dynas-
~ and succeeded.
Still Oppressed.
After the revolution in 1911, the
Manchu government was overthrown.
But the people were still and are still
oppressed. This time not by the Man
chu dynasty but by another group
For fifteen years DR.. Sun Vat Sen
led the Chinese people against this
enemy-militarism and imperialism.
For all these fifteen years Dr. Sun
Vat Sen fought against them persist
emily Now, DR.. Sun Vat Sen is dead,
but altho he is physically dead, his
spirit remains: and the Kuomintang
party, which is the creation of DR..
Sun Vat Sens efforts, now continues
the struggle that DR.. Sun Vat Sen
started; and we hope that by our eff
forts, the efforts of the Kuomintang,
the spirit of DR.. Sun Vat Sen will be
carried to its destined success.
Part Of World Movement.
There are two phases of the work
of the KuOmintang. On the one hand
the Kuomintang will lead the Cypress
ed class of the Chinese people in their
fight against those who Cypress them.
On the other hand the Kuomintang
viii participate and is part and par
eel Of the world movement against
oppression, against Imperialism.
These two jobs, first fighting
against the Chinese native militarists,
then second, fighting against the
world imperialists on behalf OF those
who are Representatives, are the
tasks Of the Kuomintang party.
Only First Step.
The revolution in China is only
the first step Of this tremendous work.
IN China, the oppressed class are
composed of the workers and peas
ants, the small merchants, the great
majority OF the people. On the other
hand, the depressing class in China,
includes the militarists, the corrupt
ed under-dogs of the imperialists.
The first step of this movement is
the struggle Of the great majority of
the Chinese people against the small
minority which Expresses them. The
policy of the Kuomintang party lays
great deal Of emphasis on organiza-
ton. We feel that without organ
ization we cannot succeed; and we
know that in organization lies power;
in organization .lies the great posi-
bility Of our struggle.
Hope in Workers.
The greatest hope is with the
workers. The organized working class
of China, with the students and peas
ants and the small merchants, are the
vanguard Of the Chinese revolution. /"
substantial collection was taken
at the meeting to assist in the work
Of the anti-imperialist league on this
continent. Two numbers of Chinese
music, vocal and instrumental, enter
tanned the audience between speeches.
Able interpreter.
Mr.. Chao Ting Chi, student Of the
University Of Chicago, interpreted for
Mr.. SEE Toa Chan very clearly and
with great precision.
