MOSCOW, U. S. S. R., Dec. 1.-THE
.reactionary role being played by
United States imperialism in China is
even more dangerous than that of the
other powers, because it conceals its
real purposes under a hypocritical
mask of friendship for the Chinese
people," said the American delegate,
Duncan, before the session Of the en-
Iarged plenum of the executive com
mittee of the Communist International
during the debate on the situation in
China now under discussion.
This discussion follows the brilliant
report on China made by the delegate
of the Chinese Communist Party, Tan
Ping Shiang, at Mondays session.
"The great events now going on in
China Duncan stated, will unmask
China's friendss
He said that a peculiar aspect of
the American attitude towards China
was that certain sections of the labor
bureaucracy were even more imperial
istic than many capitalists. Viewing
the Chinese situation itself, he said
the peasant question was the main
problem of the Chinese revolution.
The Communist Party of China must
seriously tackle this question and mo-
bilize the peasant masses to carry on
the energetic work begun by the ma
tional revolutionary army and the
youth, Duncan concluded.
Japanese Dough.
The session was under the chair
manship of Birch Omitted States),
who next called on Sen Katayama, of
the Japanese Communist Party.
Speaking of the different methods used
by the powers for the consolidation OF
their positions in China, Katayama
put special emphasis on the role of
Japan, particularly in Manchuria.
Concerning the organization problem
of the Chinese Communist Party, the
speaker declared its work was made
easier by the existence of various
gilds of union workers and home
craftsmen. The Communist Party's
main task, as he viewed 1t, was the
consolidation of the country on the
basis of middle China, intensification
of Communist activity in the Kuomin-
tang and the rallying Of all elements
capable of fighting foreign imperial
ISM.
The Communist Party must pay spe-
Cial attention to the utilization of the
guild organizations having a pro-
ficient revolutionary tradition. The
Chinese / oletariat. with the support
Of the victorious workers of the Soviet
Union and the western proletariat, can
achieve victory, said Katayama in clos
ing.
Germany Changes Front.
Egerlein German Communist
Party noted recent changes In the
policy of German capitalists towards
China in connection with Locarno.
Germany's entry into the league of
nations, and its generally westward
orientation. Instead of its former at
Fempts at a friendly policy towards
China, the Germany bourgeoisle ac-
tually fosters imperialistic aspirations
in the Far East, said the speaker.
For example, he pointed out, the Ger.
an war ministry had sent 10000
rifles to the reactionary general Chang
Tso Lin. 1--WE must warn the Chinese
people not to put their faith in the
German bourgeoisie, who, in spite OF
their pose of friendliness, are no Tess
reactiOnary and predatory than Amer
lean, Japanese and British imperial
ism," Egerlein said.
Similar to Red Army.
Delegate Hertroff exhaustively ana.
lyzed the actual situation in China
and remarked that the successes Ui
the Cantonese armies are in many re.
spects similar to the success Of the
Russian red army. He pointed out
two mistaken tendencies in the Chi
nese problem. One tendency inclined
to oyerestimate importance Of keeping
the Chinese bourgeoisie within the
