Especial to The Daily worker)


g. PEklNG, July %. - The Chinese
natlonalists have taken the measure
Of the so-eaIled "Pan-Asiatlc congress"
engineered by the league Of nations
10 be held In Nsgasaki, Japan, on Aug
4st. And the Chinese natlonalists point
out that It Is scheme which bodies
no good to the Aslastic peoples on ac-
count Of its alleged pro-Japanese char
'aeter, while the Japanese imperlaIists,
say the Chinese, have been Just as
brutal oppressors as the European and
American Imperialism.
While China will be represented by
the league of Asiatic races with head
quarters in Picking, what the Chinese
nationaists who are leading the great
movement that is awakening the
orient to rebellion against imperialist
overlords think of the congress is told
by the Peoples Tribune" of Picking,
organ of the nationalists.
Must Be League of Exploited
A league of Asiatic nations Is not
rejected by the Chinese nationalists,
but it shall be a league Of the ex-
plotted races against their exploiters-
and Japan is one of the exploiters.
The article from the Peoples Tribune
is most interesting, as may be seen by
Che following quotations:
Japanese politicians have been
working energetically during the last
year to press forward their scheme
for the establishment of a so-called
As1atic league Of nations, the alleged
purpose of which is to promote inter
national friendship among the Asiatic
nations, and arrangements have been
made to hold conference Of the
league in Nagasaki.
Japan Behind Congress.
The idea of forming such a league
originated In Japan and it received a
iBtrong boost at the time Japan was
made to suffer the humiliation Of the
passage of the United States immigra-
!tion law prohibiting the immigration
of japanese into the United States and
sthe passing of the anti-Japanese laws
IN California. Japan then posed as a
martyr compelled to suffer the same
;indignities and disabilities to which
sthe west subjected all the poor and
9down-trodden Asiatic people. Scorned
by the west, Japan turned to her Ash
attic sister nations to seek consolation
in their common sorrow.
Japan An ExpIoiter.
Proud of her accomplishments in
the western arts and her progressive
departure from the barbarous customs
of the east, Japan once looked down
with no less contempt than the west
upon her racial brothers. Now she is
willing to place herself at the head
of the long-suffering orient and re-
store it to the splendor of its ancient
past.
For A League OF The Suppressed
This does not mean that there is
no room for a league of Asiatic ma
tons. In so far as the east, for the
most part, consists of the exploited
colonies and subject territories of the
imperialists, of nations struggling for
their independence and of nations that
have secured their independence and
are fighting to preserve it-China,
Korea, the Philippines, India, Egypt,
Turkey, Morocco, Arabia and host
OF others-a league of these nations
might help. But there is no room for
Japan in such league"
The Nagasah congress, initiated by
the league of nations thru the Interna-
tional Labor Office, on a motion by the
Japanese and Indian /. L. o. delegates,
is to be a hand-picked affair. The
greatest care has been taken to keep
"agitators' out.
