Three Revolutions In One

land with the Chinese Revolution is a great forward
step in the most important direction at the present
time. 1t devolves upon the workers of England
to make this spirit" of solidarity actual en-
pirical fact.
The l. L. P's resolution urges the British workers
to refuse to fight in a against China when the
government declares That the workers refuse
to produce munitions to be used in that war. That
the workers refuse to load and transport munitions
and troops to China.
Stop War on China.
The workers of the entire world are dutybound,
to their Chinese Comrades we'll to themselves,
to pass similar resolutions and carry out the
ing of same to the last letter and dot
The struggling Chinese masses deserve this sol
idarity because they have undertaken and brayey
carrying out the mission imposed upon them by the
present historical epoch. mission so tremendous
in proportion and consequences that III ordinary slow
development requires three revolutions to achieve
the same results. For, unlike a highly developed
capitalist country like the United States where the
producing classes exploited and oppressed by
native capitalist class, in China the toilers suffer
cruel and vicious exploitation and merciess oppres
sion under a triangular system of tyranny And
this struggle in China means to overthrow with
powerful blow, great revolution, three forms
of historical regimes of tyranny, slavery, exploa
ton and bring about freedom for the producing
classes.
Feuda Generals
First China has not yet shaken off entirely the
feudal system of exploitation and oppression. Up
TO the time When the present liberation movement
commenced its victorious march the country was
divided amongst the most vicious coterie of bloody
and mercless bandits that stalk ON two legs
There was the so-called Central Government" in
Pekn, Chang Tso-lin ruled in Manchuria, Yunan
province had autocratic potentate, Szechuan was
blessed by the domination of three rival mitarsts,
WI Pei-fu controlled Honan Province and the great
part of the Upper Yangtze Valley, while Sun
Chuan-fang controlled the lower YangtZe and Chang
Chung-chang ruled over Shantung, Feng Yu-hsiang
frOIle thNxaS Ito
while in the south the Canton republican govern
ment flouTished. Excepting the last two forces
that is, Feng Yu-hsiang and the Canton Republic,
who are now the leaders of the liberation movement
Chinas masses bled, starved and writhed in agony
under the iron heel of the Tuchunes, Tupans emu

Hired Soldiers Everywhere.
To maintain themselves ehieftains over their
respective territories these rulers compelled to
surround themselves with bands of Inercenaries
The rivaries between them led to costly wars, and
consequently to destruction of lives and property
the interruption of enterprise in every field of
deavor where battles raging. Not only that
but every defeated group of mercenaries in their
march Of retreat pillaged, looted, destroyed and
killed along their route. Thus not only the
producing masses physically bed, their meager pos
sessions looted and at times altogether destroyed
but the costly expenses of these rival wars, the
maintenance Of the mercenaries and the various
rulers regimes, borne by the masses of China
much that many mlitarsts collected taxes
far so years in advance. Is it wonder that
thousands of poor Chinese rather than be victimzed
in this manner and starve to death turned to ban
ditry themselves in their desperation?
Destroying Exploters.
The present liberation movement is striking down
these tyrants one by and is bringing light and
relief TO the oppressed. It is striving to unite all
of China into one whole nation and under
tralized and responsible government. This act is,
in the first place, revolution against the remnants
of feudalism.
Second, China's division between hostile militar-
lists taken advantage of and perpetuated by the
capitalist imperialists. While the former oppressed
and tyrannized the Chinese the latter thru
corruption bribery and force took possession of the
most important, most strategic and most valuable
parts Of the country.
The capitalists began their "civlizing" work last
century in China by forcing the population to dope
itself with opium. The Chinese people refused to be
poisoned and even went so far, in order to save
themselves from the degrading and runous effects
