The Execution of 20 Communist
Members of the KuOmintang in Pek1in

Ii Tai-chao was, the organization of
the railwaymen's union which today
plays great role in the revolution
airy movement. Previous to 1921 the
railwaymen were organized in the
transport association" under the in
fluence ofsa reactionary monarchist
clique. Ii Tai-chao utilized his tenn
porary connection with WI Pei-fu in
order to organize the railwaymen and
draw them over to the side of the
revolution. The great Tangsan min
ers' strike and the railwaymen's
strike in 1923 took place under his
leadership, Whilst the imperialists
regarded him as their irreconcilable
enemy, the workers regarded him as
their true leader and were pas
sionately attached to him.
Aided Koreans.
AS early as 1919 comrade Ii Tai
chao played a leading role during
the student disturbances. Together
with comrade Chen Tu-shu, the pres
ent general secretary of the Commun-
ist Party of China, he was one of the
heads of the free thought" move
ment. He also rendered valuable as
sistance to the movement of the
Korean people for emancipation.
Comrade Ii Tai-chao was a we'll
known author and professor of the
Pekin University for Law and Ma
tional Economy where he was we'll

He once contributed splendid ar
ticle for the jubilee of bourgeois
newspaper, the Shanghai Shuh Pao"

Before the extraordinary court
comrade Lii Tai-chao declared proud
~ and openly that he was follower
Of Marx and Lenin and that he would
fight for the emancipation of the
rroletariat with the last breath in
his body.
Ii Tai-chao and the other executed
comrades will live forever in the
hearts of the Chinese workers and
peasants, in the hearts of the inter-
national working class. The Chinese
revolutionaries and the proletariat Of
all countries viii continue the work
Of these comrades until the final vic

By TANG SHIN-sHE.

On the 28th of April 20 of the best
fighters of the Communist Party of
China and the revolutionary Kuomin-
tang were executed in Pekin by stran-
gulation. Chang Tso-lin has murdered
20 revolutionaries at the order of the
imperialists. The murdered comrades
were arrested of the 9th of April dur
ing the raid on the Soviet embassy in
Pekin which was inspired by the
diplomatic corps. Five hundred armed
bandits of Chang Tso-lin entered the
foreign legation which, according to
the agreement forced upon China by
the imperialists in 1900 after the
Boxer uprising, had not been entered
by any armed Chinese.
Forged Documents.
AS no Suitable material against
the arrested was found, the neces-
sary documents were quickly fabri-
Gated. Upon the basis Of these
forged documents an Extraordinary
court" then sentenced the arrested to
death by strangulation after farcical
proceedings lasting two hours. The
sentences were Immediately executed
Murder Party Leader
Amongst the murdered was the
prominent leader of the Chinese revo-
luton and of the Communist party
comrade Ii Tai-chao. His death like
the deaths of the others means a ire
mendous loss for the Chinese prole-
tariat and for the Communist party
of China. He was a permanent mem
Der of the Central Committee of the
party. The party had instructed him
to work especially in North China
After the instruction against the inn
nerialists on the 18th of March, 1926,
in Pekin, the Pel1in government is
sued an arrest warrant against him.
He fled and remained for some time
in Moscow, but soon afterwards he
returned to Pekin in order to continue
his work illegally. Despite the fear
full white terror of Chang Tso-lin, Ii
Tai-chao and his comrades fearlessly
and tirelessly continued the work of
organizing the revolutionary strug-
gle. For this reason the militarists
of North China and their imperialist
supporters cherished special hatred
OF Ii Tai-chao.
COnfidant of Lenin.
Comrade Ii Tai-chao rendered spe-
cial services in the establishment of
cooperation between the communists
and Kuomintang. At the instance of
comrade Lenin he tried as early as
1921 to persuade the Chinese COM
munist group to participate in the ma
tional revolution. As long as General
WI Pei-fu gave himself out as a
friend of the national emancipation of
China, Ii Tai-chao maintained touch
with him, but Immediately WI Pei-fu
commenced his reactionary activities,
he was abandoned by Ii Tai-chao. In
1922 Ii Tai-chao joined Sun Yat-sen.
Ii Tai-chao was the first communist
member of the Kuomintang and Sun
Yat-sen accepted him with enthus-
iasm. Ii Tai-chao was elected a
member of the executive committee
of the Kuomintang at the first con-
gress of the Kuomintang in 1924.
