Feng Yu-hsiang's Son Writes To His
Father.
The Moscow newspapers published
the following letter of Feng Yu-
hsiangs son who is now studying in
the Sun Yat-sen university in Mos
COW:
Father, there can be no more doubt
that by deserving the revolutionary
front you have become the leader of
the cOunter-revolution. Insofar as
know your opportunism and your
ambitions and stubborn character,
this infection of yours was no sur
prise to me. When the negotiations
between the Kuomintang and the
North Western Nationalist Army
concerning the conditions of the lat
ter's joining the Kuomintang began,
you rejected the point according to
which the Kuomintang would have
the right to punish officers of the
Nationalist Army in case of their
violation of Kuomintang discipline.
You declared then that this would
signify capitulation of the National
list Army before the Kuomintang and
not collaboration with it. Judging
you by this, you were not inclined to
fight a revolutionary battle under the
leadership of the Kuomintang. You
merely wanted to use the Kuomin-
tang banner in order to get territory
on preteXt of defending the interests
of the workers and peasants. Now,
having removed your mask and no Ion
ger defending the interests of the
working class and the peasantry but
even openly collaborating and ally
ing yourself with Chang Kai-shek,
the hangman Of workers and peas
ants, you have published an outra-
geous declaration stating that "the
merchants, tradesmen, owners of in
dustrial enterprises and the land
owners are oppressed by the workers
and peasants on the territory Of the
Hankow government" This is sheer
nonsense. The time has not yet come
for the workers and peasants of
China to Cypress" the capitalists,
merchants, landlords, etc. But even
if the workers and peasants would
really Cypress the manufacturers, the
gentry and the landlords, you would
have adopted the point of view of the
interests of the majority and sup
ported the workers and peasants in
overthrowing their exploiters.
You have become the enemy of the
working class and the peasantry, and
turned traitor to Sun Yat-sen. How
ever, /, who by my former education
was rot acquainted with the revolu-
tionary sciences, have now since l en-
tered the Sun Yat-sen university,
studied revolutionary theory and
practice, and know the correct lines
to be followed by the Chinese revo-
luton. You have already chosen the
path of counter-revolution and |
have become revolutionary. AS a
revolutionary l am interested only in
the fate Of the revolution and not in
the relations between father and son,
and, therefore, / am compelled to
break my relations with my counter
revolutionary father. From today on
