Inns sudden outburst of "nationalism," his recent

aged to get the Peking government into its own
hands; Peking then would not be the impotent body
it is now, but would be considerably strengthened.
Foreseeing this danger, the British minister in
China is already demonstrating his restrained atti

from any official communication with them in writ

Of the disagreements which are to be observed at
the present time in the camp of the imperialists,
Anglo-Japanese disagreements are most acute.
Nevertheless, single aim may at a certain moment
combine these two mperiasms That aim is: At
all costs to prevent the Chinese revolution from be-
coming victorious struggle against imperalist op-
preston in all its forms.
THE task of the international proletariat in this
most serious moment for the Chinese revolution
is first of ALL to prevent an open military attack
even at the cost OF extreme sacrifices. But in de-
velopng the militant energy that is necessary
for the fulfilment of this task the international
proletariat will at the time raise the signfi-
cance and weight Of the Chinese proetariat to the
level necessary for it to assume the leadership in
the revolutionary alliance
The VII. Enlarged Executive of the Communist
International pointed to two dangers which threaten
the Chinese revolution at the present time First,
the formation of ounter-revoutionary alliance,
with the aid of the mperialsts, to crush the ma
tional revolutionary movement, and, secondly, the
attempt on the part of the bourgeoise in the ranks
OF the nationalist movement to secure into its hands
the leadership of the movement, in order to put
stop to the revolution This warning has been CON
firmed by the progress of events. During the
transition of the Chinese revolution to a new stage
of Development these two dangers are becoming
more and more imminent.
The resolution of the VII Plenum on the Chinese
question says: Certain sections of the big bour-
geoisie and even the mitarists, who hitherto have
stood outside the national revolutionary struggle
and have even been hostile to it, are now coming
over to the side of the Canton government in order
to strengthen the position Of the agents of imperial
ism within the Nationalist movement. The rapid
progress of the national revolutionary armies will
only serve to accelerate this process. New armies,
the commanders of which have social ties with the
bourgeosie, have joined the revolutionary army
On the other hand, the bourgeoise, which was
formerly on the right wing of the revolutionary
movement urged on by the activities of the masses,
