BUKHARIN BRANDS
FENG TRAITOR TO
Chinese REVOLT
Says Left Wing Must
Purge Kuomintang

MOSCOW, July With the
treachery of General Feng Yu-hsiang
and the consolidation of native big
business interests the task of liberia
ting China lies entirely in the hands
of the workers, peasants and petty
bourgeoisie, according to an article
in the Pravda by N. Bukharin.
N. Bukharin's article follows:
"The bloc of Feng Yu-hsiang and
Chang Kai-shek means a further
step in the separation of the class
forces of China. Chang Tso-lin's
camp is the camp of feudal reaction;
this camp is actually in the descend
ent. The second camp, the camp of
the liberal bourgeois counterrevolu-
tion, at given stage in the develop
ment of events in China, is the victori-
Gus force holding quite peculiar
place in the struggle of classes.
The class basis of the generals
coups is to be sought in the passing
of the liberal bourgeoisie to the
! counter-revolution and in the agrar-
ian revolution of the Chinese pea
SAINTS. The bloc of Chang Kai-shek
and Feng Yu-hsiang and other gen
erals plus Eventually the left wing
of the "Fengtienese" such is the
bourgeois bloc from military aspect.
At present this bloc is the strongest
Of the struggling camps. The
strength of this liberal counter-revo-
lutionary camp consists in the num-
erical predominance of it's armed
forces and it's political position as
compared with the political position
of the feudal camp. The bourgeois
camp already tends to amalgamate
with the feudal reaction and i'm
/ perialism; however it is in a certain
measure still independently the
surface.
Liberals are masquerading as the
true liberators of China, as distinct
from Communists whom they call
agents of the Russian State" One of
the strong points of the liberal coun-
ter-revolution is that it has it's agents
IN third camp, namely, Wunan.
Feng's Betrayal.
Wuhan's weak point is that it has
] not sufficient armed forces. With
Feng's betrayal, Wuhan lost the best
part of it's military forces, while the
remaining part under Tang Shen-chl
is likewise unreliable. The reliable
military units are insufficient num-
erically.
Furthermore, both in the Central
Committee of the Kuomintang and
the government are Chlang Nal
shek's spies and wavering petty
bourgeois politicians, a weak ununi-
fled political leadership in Wuhan, in
distinction to growing mass move
ment, is a most vulnerable point.
Ii the Communist Internationals
directing line were practically full
filled the situation would not be so
dangerous for Wuhan.
The strength of Wuhan in power

SAINTS.
This revolution will throw away
the wavering prattlers and the en-
emy's spies and wavering terrified
leaders.
So far the camp of the bourgeois
counter-revolution has been fighting
against feudalism and to some ex-
tent, against the imperialists. At
the same time it acts against the
workers and peasants of its own ma
ton, thereby becoming the henchman
of the counter-revolution
! Must Mobilize Workers.
The substance of the actual class
battles is the struggle for hegemony
in the bourgeois democratic revolu-
ton between the working class and
liberal bourgeoisie or otherwise, which
amounts the same, the struggle be-
tween the liberal and plebian de-
velopments of the Chinese revolution.
The more dangerous actual situation,
the more energetic must be the sup
port of the third camp, the more en-
ergetic the mobilization Of the
workers, the peasants and the petty
} bourgeois masses.
The policy of the Communist In
ternational: mobilize the masses;
loosen the agrarian revolution;
loosen the labor movement, struggle

repeI all compromising tendencies on
the part of the semi-agents of Chang
Kai-shek and Feng Yu-hsiang; it
must steer in the direction of clear
ing the Kuomintang of these waver-
; ing elements. 1t is necessary that 1t

ian" cadres whicr can fight to the
end against all obstacles and defeats
Feng Yu-hsiang has passed into the
camp of the enemies of the peoples
revolution and against him must be
declared a relentless war. The tao
tics of compromising with Feng and
company could be based only on an
absolutely liquidatory attitude to-
wards the agrarian revolution and to-
wars the struggle for the plebian
; way of China's development.
