has sent Hsiang Chuan-yi and Lee
Chao to Szechuen, where Liu Hsiang
and Lai Hsing-hui were induced to
murder the people of Chungking and
to besiege Luchow.
Shanghai is the base of operations
of imperialists and counter-revolu-
tionaries. There the number Of la
borers is larger than in any other
part of China. It is there that the
severest of oppression against labor
was experienced Immediately upon
his arrival at Shanghai, Chang Kai-
shek formed a seditious league with
the imperialists, and began cam
paign against the mass of the peo-
pie as we'll as laborers. Labor pick
cts are recognized by the Central
Government as a legal force but
Chang disamed and slaughtered
them. 1t was even possible for the
city branch of our party to maintain
an open existence under the oppres-
sion of the imperialists and militarists
but it was at once suppressed by
Chang Kai-shek, who calls himself
the disciple of Dr. Sun and comman-
der-in-chief of the revolutionary Ma
tionalist army. Tat Sun Chuan-fang
and Chang Chung chang had no
courage to do, Chang did without
fear.
Crushing Work
80. Smothering of political work
among troops.-Recently Chang ar
bitrarily sealed up the offices of the
General Political Department of the
Military Council stationed in Shang-
hal. Without authority he also ares
ted persons engaged in political train
ing of troops. His aim is nothing short
of an attempt to transform the revo-
lutionary army into a tool Of the
militarists and their proteges. The
height of his cruelty and the severity
of his crimes far exceeds that of the
affair of March goth.
Illegal Conference.
40. The calling of an illegal con-
ference against the Central Govern
ment.-The general regulations of the
party STIMULATES that meetings Of the
Central Executive Committee and of
the Central Control Committee must
be held at the place Of the seat Of the
Central Government. The seat Of both
the Central Party headquarters and
the Central Government is at Wuhan.
Yet Chang Kai-shek in his. own name
dared to call meeting Of the Cen
trail Supervisory Committee to be held
at Marking On what authority and
with what reason can Chang call this
meeting? When the counter-revolu-
tionaries met in the Western Hills
sometime ago, they were repeatedly
repudiated by Ching himself as law
breakers. Now he himself is doing
the very act he condemned. This is
his tenth crime.
III. Interference with local admin
istration and trampling down Of peo-
pies rights Whenever he arrives at
a new place Chang would unlawfully
appoint civil and military officials,
not even attempting to discard ras-
Gals and INSCRIPTIONS sharks when
Shanghai was captured the people Of
Shanghai. in accordance with the
spirit of elf-determination, elected
their own committees and organized
provisional local government which
received the approval Of the Central
Government.
Chang, however, hindered their
establishment and appointed his own
men. AS regards the Provincial Gov
eminent of Kiangsu, the appointees
Of the Central Government were SINH
larly prevented from assuming their
offices by the same method.
Suppression.
"12. Suppression of public opinion
and interference with newspapers
Realizing that His crimes have reach
ed height that they could no longer
be tolerated by public opinion, and
fearing that the newspaper might
publish news concerning his anti
revolutionary acts, thus exposing his
crimes, Chang gave orders, forbid
ding newspapers to publish articles
against his interests, suppress news
