Especial To The DAILY WORKER.)
HANKOW, China, July 16 (By
MaiD A tremendous political sensa-
ton was caused by the declaration
issued here by Mrs. Sun Yat-sen, call
ing upon officials of the Kuomintang
government and upon party members
thruout China and the world to re-
main steadfast in the revolutionary
faith of the late founder of the Ma
tionalist Party.
The declaration, which challenges
the tendency towards reaction in the
government and party was made
public just on the eve of Mrs. Suns
withdrawal from the Wuhan govern
ment, of which she has been an i'm
portant member, and her departure
for her home in Shanghai.
1t was published in several local
Chinese papers, all of.which were i'm
mediately thereafter suppressed or
"reorganized." The correspondents
here broadcasted the message to the
world. 1t was published turnout
China in both Chinese and English
language papers. Chinese papers in
territory controlled by Chang Kai-
shin were also forbidden,to print the
declaration because of its implied
criticism Of the reactionary tenden-
cies of his regime. Those few papers
which printed it, Notwithstanding
this order, likewise were suppressed.
Visioned Change of Power.
In plain words she states {that Sun
Yat-sen envisaged a revolution which
should bring about improvements in
the lot of the peasants and workers
of China, not one which should mere
ly bring about a transfer ofspolitical
power.
Her clear-cut delineation of the
real significance of her late hus-
bands policies has already resulted
in mass of articles and speeches by
Kuomintang leaders aimed at clarity
ing their own stand toward the revo-
luton. 1t has also had tremendous
repercussion amongst trade unions
and peasant organizations, asswell as
amongst many Kuomintang locals,
most of which have adopted resolu-
tions on the declaration, giving it
their wholehearted support.
The Declaration In Full.
The declaration in full follows:
81 feel that it is necessary at this
time to explain as a member of the
Central Executive Committee of the
Kuomintang that we have reached a
point where definition is necessary
and where some members of the par
ty executive are SO defining the prin-
ciples and policies of DIR. Sun Yat-sen
that they seem to me to do violence
to DR.. Suns ideas and ideals. Feel
ing thus, l must dissociate myself
from active participation in the car
rying out of'these new policies of the
party.
To-day we face crisis and we
must probe searchingly into funda-
mental questions for fundamental
answers. We must answer the ques-
tions of the nature of revolution in
general, of the Chinese revolution in
particular, whether it is to be a mere
political or social revolution, and
what changes are involved.
I'm the last analysis, all revolu-
tons must be social revolutions,
based upon fundamental changes in
society; otherwise it is not a revolu-
ton, but merely change of govern
ment.
"To guide US in the Chinese revolu-
tion, DR.. Sun has given us his Three
Principles and his Three Policies. 1t
is the Third Principle, that of the
livelihood of the people, that is at
stake at the present time, the prin-
