by the third platform at the east end,
presided over by Robert w. Dunn.
Scott Nearing said. "The Chinese
revolution has been accused of being
started by the Bolsheviks. Let me
inform you that the Chinese revolu-
tionary movement began six years be-
fore the Russian revolution Of 1917
and if the Bolsheviks were respon-
sible. they must have led it from their
Siberian prisons.
Before 1925 the Chinese revolu-

tionalist revolution having as its pur-

should take their warships ont Of
China. They have no right there.
"The policy that they are now fol

Adopt Resolution.
The resolution that was adopted
unanimously follows:
Whereas the Chinese people are
struggling for liberation from the
rule of brigand war lords, and from
the oppression of foreign imperialists
and
Whereas the national Liberation
movement is supported by the over
whelming masses of the Chinese
people, who have awakened to Il new
life and are passionately struggling
for a free and united China, and
Whereas, the trade unions of China
are playing the leading role in The
struggle to raise the standard Of liv
ing of millions of Chinese, who tot
inhumanly long hours at starvation
wages in foreign mills and factories
and
British Influence.
Whereas, our government under
the influence Of Great Britain anC
in contradiction to its declared policy
is virtually waging war against the
Chinese people, and thereby assis

student leaders, to destroy the trade
unions, and TO ultimately strangle thu

Whereas, the concentration Of owe
one hundred battleships and tens o.

Powers, and the continued dispatch
ing of armed forces to China may a
any moment lead to the outbreak o
another world war, therefore be it
Resolved, that we thousands of PEG
