talists and landlords without guaran-
tees that they will not surrender to
imperialism in return for concessions
for their class-as they have done a
number of times.
MADAME Sun has challenged this
:" whole theory, and branded it as
a perversion of the principles of Sun
Vat Sen, in public statement. The
major premise of her statement is
that the workers and peasants are
the base of the national liberation
movement. She says:
in the last analysis, all revolution
must be social revolution, based on
fundamental changes in society.
Otherwise it is not revolution but
merely change of government"
TAKING open issue with the mod
crates" on the question of imme-
date improvement of the status of
the masses Madame Sun declares that
To-day the lot of the Chinese pea
SAINTS is even more wretched than in
the days when DR.. Sun was driven by
his great sense of human wrongs into
life Of revolution. And today men
who profess to follow his banner. talk
of classes and think in term of 'revo-
luton that virtually disregard the
sufferings of these millions of pea
SAINTS"
MADAME Sun rejects the theory
AVA that the Communists should be
driven from the Kuomintang, removed
from advisory and executive posi-
lions, be deported or murdered, and
that aid from the Soviet Union should
be spurned in order to please the i'm
perialists. Obviously referring to the
campaign against the Communists
and the Soviet Union inspired by the
lmperialist powers and taken up by
Chang Kai-shek, Madame Sun says:
To-day we hear condemnation of
the movement as a recent alien
movement. This is false. Twenty or
thirty years ago DIR. Sun was think
ing and speaking in terms of a revo-
luton that would change the status
of the Chinese peasans. 1t is only
IN the past few years, after four de-
cades of struggle, that his plans for
revolution of the peoples begun to
bear fruit"
MADAME Sun refers to the Kwang-
AVA tung Peasants Conference in 1924
.-colncident with the speeding up of
Communist activity among the masses
AS the first time we saw the peo-
pie of China coming to participate
in the revolution"
"Dr. Suns policies are clear" saws
Madame Sun. eff certain leaders do
not carry them out consistently, then
they are no longer DR.. Suns true fol-
lowers and the party (Kuomintang)
is no longer the revolutionary party
but merely tool in the hands of this
or that militarist--Revolution in
China is inevitable"
KALEIDOSCOPE as developments
in China are, caused by the
tremendous sweep of the national
liberation movement and the entry of
millions of workers and peasants in
to it, in turn causing the rapid cleav-
age between classes, it is now clear
that the treachery of Chang Kai-
shek and other generals, backed by
the exploiting groups and the i'm
perialists, has not been able to STAN
pede the honest mass leaders who
were closest to Sun Vat Sen.
Neither has the open war waged on
the Communists by the militarist ele-
ments been able to drive away from
the Communists the leaders and mem
bers of the Kuomintang who are loyal
to the workers and peasants.
THE Kuomintang, in spite of the
efforts Of the capitalists, land
lords, militarists and imperialists to
turn it into an instrument of reaction,
still holds the possibility of leading
the Chinese masses in the struggle
