| n EN- short years after Mr.. Wilson
led this country into the European
slaughter to assure the reign of JUS
tice and humanity, every indication
points to the fact that foul prepare
tons are in full swing to drench
Americans with another shower of
blood.
The sordidness of the Marking
bombardment cannot be CLOSED over
by diplomatic reports from American
imperialistic consular agents intent
on excusing the wanton slaughter
of Markings civilian population.
When all the facts of American naval
! participation in that wilful carnage
are made known to the American
people those responsible for it will
pay dearly for their blood lust. In
the light of Secretary of State Kel-
logg's miserable intrigues in Mexico
and Nicaragua his representations of
the Chinese situation fail to convince.
Eugene Chen, foreign minister of
the Nationalist Government states
that the footing charged against the
Southern army was done by the de-
feated northern soldiers. General
Tsiang Kai-Shek, commander in chief
of the Cantonese Armies declares that
White Russians are responsible. "The
Powers" continued Gen. Tsiang in
his statement to the American CORE
spondents in Shanghai, Cannot sup
press the Chinese by means of war
ships, no matter how numerous"
Britain is again giving the lead to
Americas foreign policy. Americas
State Department and the British
Foreign Office are dominated by the
same interests. These international
financiers fatten on foreign conces-
sions.
The British Foreign Office has
given America a free hand to do as
it sees fit in Mexico, Central, and
South America. And in return Mr..
Kellogg and the Coolidge admins
tration appear to be prepared to back
Great Britain in its exploitation and
oppression of China.
But it is the young men of this
country, who have no reason to hate
but every reason to support the Chi
nese masses in their struggle for
freedom, who will be called upon to
pay with their lives for the right of
their imperialistic masters to exploit
the Chinese.
The blood bath is being prepared.
Will americas young men be forced
to take the plunge?
They Pray For splits"
Splits in the Kuo Min Tang Party
in China are reported with great fire.
quency in the daily press. We can
say that these reports are inspired
by the hopes of the imperialistic OPP
pressors of China rather than on ac-
tual facts. Those who have followed
the great sweep of victories that
have come to the Cantonese will have
noted that the reports of "splits" have
become more insistent and numerous
as the Southern army drew close to
Shanghai
Certainly there are differences in
side the ranks of the Kuo Min Tang.
The Nationalist Movement has drawn
into the scope of its influence all ele-
ments in Chinese life-merchants,
workers, peasants and students. But
the aspirations of some of these ele-
ments are satisfied early in the revo-
lutionary struggle. The big mer-
chants, for instance, are primarily
concerned with the removal Of inn
perialistic exploitation. The workers
and peasants, however, are concerned
with the abolition of all exploitation.
And these various and sometimes OPP
posing interests and aspirations ex-
press themselves in the struggle to
dominate the policies of the Kuo
Ming Tang.
AS the Chinese masses are drawn
into the struggle, and their aspira-
tons become articulate, the National
list Movement naturally swings to the
left. But this is the best guarantee
that the revolution will not be be-
trayed. The Nationalist Movement
becomes more and more a peoples
movement. The army becomes more
and more peoples army. It's political
education is Of even greater impor-
lance that its prowess with arms.
