The Hands Off China Committee
just before time for the great demon
stration, released the following APP
peal:
Issue Stirring Appeal.
/ Progressive workers will rally t
man at Union Square and demon
strate that they will not tolerate
American military forces and British
serving ambassadors and consuls in
terfering with the struggle Of The
1 Chinese masses for national indepen
dence and national unity.
"The Hands Off China Committee
knows that the workers of New
York City have only friendship anC
solidarity with the great Nstionalis
movement in China; the Hands Of
China Committee knows that it is
only the American bankers and trusts
and their British-serying government
in Washington that is opposing the
victorious march of the Chinese PEG
pie. 1t is therefore calling this meet
ing to oppose the guns and bullets
Of Wall Street with the one powei
that can prevent the imperialst'
from starting another bloody war
( the organized power Of militant anc
class conscious workers"
