Get American Sims Out Of Chinese Waters!


Screchng headlines in the reptile press declare that three
vessels flying American flags warshps and merchant
man. fired upon by soldiers of Chang Kashek at Marking
The that the firing started from Marking and was fol
lowed by voeys from Pukow the Yangze river adding
that the warshps replied with machine and rifle fire until
the Chinese slenced"
Two damnng points stand this story Firstly, it is
confession that again American warhps have INDUCED in mas
of Chinese How murdered is not known and
is questionable if the number will be known.
Secondly the motive for this incident plain to
who understands the elemental facts of the conflict raging
China We can say without contradiction that
if the firing started from the shore it at the behes of the
British AGENTS ho arc charged with CARRYING out the policy the
Chamberlain tory Deeply chagned at its
diplomatic because the United States refused to
Join China Infatuated because its conspiracy
joint intervention regain its territory the Yangtze
blocked by the rival of American Imperialism Britain now
tries to achieve intervention by provoking attacks upon both Brit
sh and American ships on the Yangtze.
The fact that Chang Kai-shek unable with the
backing mperast powers consolidate anything
bling government doesn't that he will not be used by i'm
periasm II ne cannot succeed IN establishing government ne
still fer other vile the Inscriptions
agents British Imperialism have found another role for him.
He playing the part of provocateur The fact that Nan
king upon gmboas the Yangze proves concusve
that Chang Kashek openly secretly ordered it. Now
b for Austin Chamberlain to state parliament the
whom he hoped would be able to bring order out of
chaos has failed and that aggressive policy must be
sued The assault also will for those American
agents China who have been doing he dirty work of British
Imperialism appeal for reversal of the decision against
aggressive joint intervention 1t also quite probable that these
identical American of the Nacuray cabr shared in the
British conspiracy to nce Chang Kashek to fire foreign
ships effort provoke against China in place
Of the hypocrca subteanan that being carried
effort to throttle the nationalist revolution.
If there people creduous doubt that this
ruling class of Britain would deliberately hire Chang
kahek any other gunman of Imperialism to fire upon their
ships risk the lives of their they should recall
history. They should realize that if the United
capitalist did scrupe nearly thirty
ago. send to the bottom of Havana Harbor the baeshp
Maine with its human cargo and blame the Spanard
provoke the interest of the Havemeyer
the American tobacco company the present day
rasts with still stake, capable of in
famous crimes
What do the capitalist governments of the world about
few hundred few thousand and boys human
fodder if they advantages their rivals and make
the capital they have invested in foreign countries?
SO amazingly rapid the development of conflicting interests
China omnousy hang the clouds of another world that
every every report from that waro territory heras in
of fire the day when the last shred of diplomatic intrigue
will swept away whff of powder and the grim and CHASTITY
reality another world will demand of the working class the
sacrifice of its all in order that the mperast bandits may with
of blood again endeavor to tip the scales to decide who
shall exploit the world.
Against these monsrous provocatons this prelude to whole
sale DEATH the working class prepare to hur its We
nsistenty fight against the in China. Demand that
The United States get its gunboats its merchantmen
soldiers and marines out of China and keep them out
