Blood of Chinese Workers

The arrests of Is Chinese and other workers
in New York Sunday for making a collection
for the trade unionists of China can be taken
as another 'little" indication of the official
American attitude toward the Notwithstanding
events in that great country. The United
States government is in the process of "recog-
nizing China" with the support of liberals"
and socialists" here by extending it's support
to the mercenary gang of adventures headed
by Chang Kai-shek, calling itself the "gov-
eminent of China" or the Marking govern
ment." And even down to the thickest headed
Tammany policeman, this becomes the key to
the policy officially applied throughout the
country. The Sunday tag-day arrests were ap-
parenty melted by the Kuomintang organiza-
ton in New York, which in its own puny way
follows the lead of the cut-throats of Marking
The incident of the arrests must not be al
lowed to pass without being used to rouse
American workers to the real situation in
China and the meaning of Cooldge's "help' to
China" which is in fact nothing more than
the bribery of bureaucratic organization and
a parasitic layer of Chinese society for the
privilege of throttling a nation.
\ The enormity of the crimes being committed
In China today are almost entirely beyond the
present, sluggish imagination of the bulk of
American workers. Out of a population of ap-
proximately 400,000000, it is estimated that
more than 100000 have already been slaugh-
tered by the white terror The bloody work
of the mercenary tools of foreign Imperialism,
of whom the traitor Chang Kai-shek has be-
come the chief, is only vaguely suggested by
the perfunctory dispatches that tell of occa-
sional wholesale executions.

which will give some idea of the torture that
our Chinese brother workers are enduring, and
at the same time the sublime courage that
they are putting into the fight for freedom.
Here are the slogans sent to us:
"White terror in China has already killed
$4,000 workers and peasants"
We are not afraid of defeats. We have the
support of the world proletariat and the Soviet
Union the Chinese workers and peasants
say"
THE Kuomintang is grabbing the people ?
The three principles are killing the people.
Down with the Kuomintang and its three prin-
ciplesr the Chinese peasants say.
"Down with the Kuomintang flag of white
terror! Up with the red flag of hammer and
sickle!-tel the Chinese workers"
"'Oh! How can we kill all the Communists
The workers and peasants nearly all are Com
munists cry the reactionaries in despera-
ton"
Rather kill a thousand innocent than to
let one escaper-the militarists say
It's the Communists who are demanding
back pay. It's the Communists who are strik-
ing. They should be kllled!-the Chinese
capitalists say"
1.-THE Kuomintang besides shooting workers
and peasants leaders and Communists applies
such primitive barbarous punishments as:
extracting eyeballs cutting out hearts, peeling
off skin, cutting off breasts, pulling out finger
nails, using bayonets to pierce the sexual or
pans of women already shot, pouring boiling
water on chests, beheading, cutting people in
two at the waist, etc.
"sWhat is it to kill few hundred workers
It's easier to find few hundred workers than
10 find as many dogs Say the imperialist
capitalists in Shanghai.
