ment.--On March 20, 1926, he wrong
fully sent troops and effected the ar
rest Of the party representatives Of
the End Division, thereby destroying
the party military system. His acts
were characterized by absolutism and
he did not have the slightest consid-
Grafton for the dignity and prestige
of the Central Party and government.
He is responsible for the evil prac-
tice of military men interfering with
civil administration and for the in
PRODUCTION Of despotic military re-
gime.
Oppressive Control.
a. Oppressive control Of the party
and employment of scoundrels.-T
comrades of the party were very
much exasperated by the coup of
March 90 1926, and it was only the
presence of the enemy that restrained
them from adopting punitive mea-
sures against him. 1t was hoped that
such an attitude Of tolerance would
lead to his repentance but his evil
propensity persisted. Relying upon
his military power, he coerced the
comrades, altered the party regula-
tions without authority and appointed
chairmen at will In consequence Of
his oppressive control Of the party
and his employment of scoundrels who
fill all important posts, the prestige
of the party has suffered a serious
blow And yet he shamelessly boasts
that he is loyal disciple Of the late
DR.. SUM- With the presumptuous air
of monarch, he dictates to the COM
rades as if he himself were the coun-
try. Whosoever follows him is re-
garded as a real revolutionist and
whosoever. opposes him is denounced
as a counter-revOlution so that the
people only know Chang but ignore
the Central Executive Committee.
UsurpatiOn of Power.
"5. Usurpation of governmental
power in appointing army chief-com-
manders without authority-The APP
pointment and dismissal of civil mill
tary officials are rights reserved for
the Nationalist government Chang,
however, wrongfully appointed, in
the name of commander-in-chie pa
cification commissioners and scores of
army chief-commanders. Neither did
he ask for permission of the govern
ment before the appointments were
effected, nor did he report such APP
pointments to the government subse-
I quently. The result has been that
the Central Government has been left
without any knowledge of the condi-
ton of the different armies. As re-
CARDS the distribution of funds and
provisions for the armies, he has in
dulged in such freedom of action
which denies the Central Party and
government an opportunity of inves-
/ tigation. There have been cases
where unwarranted deduction was
made from the pay-rolls for personal
enrichment. In his eyes there is no
law
Violates Resolutions.
IS. Violation of the resolutions
adopted by the Central Party and OPP
position to the elevation of the party
power.-The removal of the Central
Party and government to Hupeh was
decided upon at Canton. Chang,
however, desired to annul the original
resolution and proposed that the
party and government should be To-
Gated at Nanchapg within his firm
grip so that his feudalistic ambition
might be satisfied and his sinister de-
signs might be carried out. The COM
rades, realizing the grave danger con
sequent upon the decline of the power
of the party and the ascendency of
that Of Chang and his clique since
March 20, 1926, conducted move
ment for the elevation of the power
of the party. The purpose was not
only to strengthen and centralize the
authority of the power but also to rec
, tify Chiang's mistakes From the
revolutionary standpoint, the move
ment was entirely unselfish but
Chang vigorously opposed it.
Allies With Imperialism.
~. Alliance with imperialists and
compromise with militarists.-
bringing about of the downfall of the
imperialists and the militarists is the
fundamental policy of the party. Yet
following the arrival of Chang Kai-
shek at Nanchang the cry for a com
promise between the north and south
was raised both in Chinese and for
eign circles, while the air became
filled with the talk of compromise
with the imperialists. AS to the facts.
it has been known to all that such
men as Huang Flu have been busy at
such attempts. Seditious connections
with the enemy is another of his
crimes
Persecutes People.
49, Persecution of farmers and
laborers, and murder of common peo-
ple.--It is in the interests Of our peo-
pie that our party has carried on this
revolution-in fact the foundation Of
the party is laid on the interests of
the masses. More than 80 per cent
