KUOMINT ANG DENOUNCES TREACHERY
OF CHANG IN OFFICIAL STATEMENT

The following is a statement issued
to the Chinese people by the Central
Executive Committee Of the Kuomin-
tang enumerating Chang Kai-shek's
counter-revolutionary actions.
"Chiang Kai-shek, the traitor to the
Chinese Kuomintang, who is now
commander-in-chief Of the First Unit
of the Nationalist Revolutionary
Army, has long cherished a sinister
design. His turbulence and recalci-
trance know no bound Adhering to
the liberal spirit of the late DR.. Sun
Yat-sen, the party has adopted an at
titude of tolerance in the hope that
he would repent and make amends
for his wrongful conduct. During
the past several months, however, his
pronouncements and actions have in
Dictated more and more a reactionary
tendency. He has utilized the post of
the commander-in-chief to carry out
his treacherous scheme. He has
created new epoch in the history of
Chinese militarism and has proved
himself a new tool of Imperialism.
TwO-FOld Duty.
"The Kuomintang has to fulfill a
two-fold duty; internally, to eradicate
militarism and externally, to elimi-
nate Imperialism. Chiang's acts are
not only perversive in the extreme but
also mean the Substitution Of tyran-
ny for tyranny! Therefore, besides
the adoption of a resolution ordering
his expulsion from the party and his
arrest by the officers and soldiers as
we'll as the people and public bodies
for punishment, it is deemed neces-
sary to proclaim to both Chinese and
foreigners some of his notorious
crimes:
AZ. Violation Of the late Dr.. Sun
Yat-sen's instructions-The late DR..
Sun Yat-sen held that the aim of the
Nationalist revolution should be to
secure freedom and equality for
China. Hence, internally, we should
eliminate militarism and externally,
we should annihilate imperialism. And
the three great policies of "Coopera-
ton with Soviet Russia, "Coopera-
ton with the peasants" and Cooper
alton with the labor" were enunciated
by the late DR.. Sun at the time of the
reconstruction of the party. Although
Chang was then an ardent supporter
of these policies, his words and acts
have proved contrary to the late DR..
Suns instruction.
Ruins Party School
90 Ruination of the party school
by way of disintegrating the revolu-
tionary force The late DR.. Sun Vat
sen entrusted the management of
Whampoa Cadet School to Chang
with the expectation that he would
train military men for the service of
the party With his head filled with
thoughts of feudalism, Chang re-
garded Whampoa as Siaochan "a
place where Yuan Shih-kai had his
troops trained) and as a sphere of
his personal influence. By means Of
small favors, he beguiled the students
into rendering service to himself, in
stead of to the party. The intelligent
elements, who could not thus be en-
ployed, were oppressed by any con-
ceiyable means. His henchmen and
agents were ordered to set up such
organizations as The Sun Yat-senism
Club, The Whampoa Alumni Assoc
citation, etc. The Three Peoples
Principles were given wrong inter-
probation and false doctrines were ad-
vocated in order to deceive the world.
Deliberately, he caused complications
to arise so that he could exploit them
to the fullest extent. Consequently,
the very foundation of the Whampoa
Cadet School was shaken by the dew
iltry of single individual. 1t was
only very recently that he instigated
General Ii Tsi-sin to surround the
Whampoa Cadet School with troops
and suffered to ruin an institution
which the late DR.. Sun had built up
with much effort.
