Colonies Uneasy.

Such facts as the growth of the
revolutionary movement in China, In
donesia, India, ETC., cannot fail to play
a decisive role in the fate of world
Imperialism. Of the 1905, 100000
people in the whole world, 1,134, 600
600 live in colonies, lab, 100000 in the
USSR, 264,OOO,OOO in the middle coun-
tries and only 363,000,OOO people in
the big imperialist countries which OPP
press the colonies and semicolonies.
ut is evident that the revolutionary
awakening in the colonial countries is
forerunner of the end of world i'm
perialism. The fact that the Chinese
Revolution has not as yet resulted as
a direct victory over Imperialism, can
not be considered decisive from the
viewpoint Of prospective revolution.
Revolution Grows.
"a great, popular revolution is
never victorious in the first round It
grows and is consolidated as it GIBBS
and flows. This was true in every
case, including that of Russia, and
Will De true OF emma.
"The most important result of the
Chinese revolution, however, is the
awakening of hundreds of millions Of
exploited and oppressed workers from
agelong slumber, and setting them in
to activity, definitely exposing the
counterrevolutionary character of the
militarist cliques, and unmaslling the
Kuo-Ming-Tang lacReys of the
counter-revolution, thus strengthening
the authority of the Communist Party
"The masses raised the movement
as whole to higher level, namely
to the stage of the organization of
the Soviets, awakening new hopes in
the millions Of the oppressed classes
in India, Indonesia, etc. None but
the blind and the towards can doubt
that the Chinese workers and peasants
are moving toward another revolution
airy uprising.
Leftward Movement.
Regarding the revolutionary move
ment of the working class of Europe,
clear signs of a leftward movement
on the part of rank and file workers
can be seen here too, as well as a re-
vival of revolutionary activity. Such
facts as the British General Strike,
the Coal Strike, the Evolutionary up
rising in Vienna, the revolutionary
demonstrations in France and Ger
many on the occasion of the murder of
Sacco and Vanzetti, the electoral VIC
tories in the German and Polish Com
munist Parties, the evident differences
in the labor movement in England, all
indicate that the workers are going
left, while leaders are leaning to the
right, towards the open social-imper-
ialist degeneration of the Second In
ternational, that the leaders are NOV
ing toward direct accord with the i'm
perialist League of Nations, and that
they are falling under the authority
OF the social democratic parties.
But in the eyes of the broad mas
ses of the working class, there is a
great growth everywhere of the in
fluence of the authority Of the Com
intern and it's sections among the
proletarians Of all countries, and a
growth of the authority of the USSR
amidst the oppressed classes of the
whole world.
New Stage.
"All these facts show beyond any
doubt that Europe is entering a new
stage of revolutionary uprising. If
the murder Of Sacco and Vanzetti
could be reason for working class
demonstrations, it certainly signifies
that within the working class, there
has accumulated revolutionary energy
which seeks only the pretext to oc-
casion an outbreak and rush against
the capitalist regime.
I'VE are now on the eve of a new
revolutionary rising wave. Colonies
protest swells against exploitation of
mother countries, and sterilization
only gives birth to a new revolution
airy rise"
Deepening Crisis.
In passing to the problem of the
Capitalist world and the USSR,"
