THE Tactics of the Party in the Course of the
Last Two Years" In this respect Comrade Chen
Tu Su distinguishes four periods
First Period From the 4th Party Conference
OF the Z. P. of China to the Rebellion of Kuo Sun
Ling Tin December, 1925. This stage is ebarac-
terlzed by the rise of the Communist movement
winch reached its highest point in the events of
May 30th, 1925 (shootings in Shanghai In the
period in question, the proletariat was fighting for
the hegemony in the revolutionary movement, a de-
velopment which led to emphasizing class differen
ces. We could then observe the beginnings of hour
geols defaction, the bourgeois ideoogy being inter
preted in Tai Isl Taos book, 'sThe PhiosonhicaI
Foundations of Sunyatsenism" In southern China
II sun proved possible to maintain united front
with the bourgeoisie against the two rnitarist lead
ers, LII Chen Hui and Yang Sh Min but the HOMO
Kong strike was already waged altogether under
the slogan Inc labor movement must be combined
WIN the national movement, the dominating role of
the proetarlat in the latter being fully maintained"
IN TINS tlrst period the Communist PARTY of China
committed no mistakes Tt waged determined war
against the tendencies voiced by Tai Isl Tao and
maintained the principle of union with the left
wing Of the Kuomintang for the purpose Of a COM
mon 1lght against the right wing. The same policy
was observed at the Second Party Conference of
the Kuomintang. The accentuation of onnosition II
BRUSH imperialism must be regarded as stem in
the right direction the part of the Communist
Party
second Period: From the rebellion of Kuo
of tbn
National army from the heights of Hankow. This
period IS mainly remarkable for the recession in the
revolutionary movement and the strengthening of
Vhe reaction AT the commencement of the second
PERIOD southern CHINA saw the continuation of the
Ilght against feudalism, which found expression in
tne murder at Canton on August 25th 1925, of Lao
Chun hal, minister of finance to the Canton COW

Iords) and IN the fights which followed II Tb
struggle against the bourgeose also grew in vebano
ence during this period. The bourgeoisie was on
gagged in organizing its political parties.
In this period Chang Kai-shek played the mart
