agreeable work? By claiming them
together in gangs, as is done in the
French Concession, the cost of pro-
viding warders to look after them
would be SMALL"
These are few of the little inspira-
tons toward Civilization" given to
the Chinese bourgeoisie by their
"elder brothers" from abroad. These
are samples of their sober moments;
when excited, they speak of the nee
essity of emulating Ghengis Khan
who punished offending districts by
massacring the entire population.
Everyone knows, of course, that the
White Terror is directed against the
whole body of the people, not merely
against the Communists, who at their
congress last summer announced their
membership as 50000-an insignific-
ant figure compared with the death
list of the "anti-Communist" terror.
Such fantastic estimates of the Com
munist strength as that given by MIR.
Bess, Peking correspondent of the
United Press, who speaks of zone mil
lion members of the Chinese Com
munist Party" merely goes to show
that every sign of political activity
of the masses is labelled Communism.
Anther exposure of the true nature
of the terror is giveL by Mr.. Bruno
Schwartz, the American editor of the
HanlzOw Herald, who reports:
General HUI Tsung-tu, garrison
commander of Hank0w, was asked
whether many who were not Com
munists were not among those be-
ing summarily executed, and he
frankly answered that he did not
know, Even if there is only one
Communist in a group of II who
are executed he declared, it is
worth while to kill the twelve. The
elimination of enc Communist is
ample compensation for the execu-
ton of almost any dozen men,"
Imperialism's 1.-TWO Perspectives."
IT may puzzle some observers of
Chinese affairs to see the imperial
lists so cynically wrecking the Kuo-
mintang, which is now their most alb
ject servant. The explanation is not
hard to see, however; they are work
ing with two. perspectives-if the
Kuomintang can hold power, after
having been completely separated
from the masses, that is the cheapest
form of imperialist domination, and
therefore the first perspective; but if,
as they expect, the Kuomintang will
break down even quicker than did
Chang Tso-lin, the resulting chaos
opens up the second, and to many
more desirable, perspective of armed
intervention on huge scale and the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF China.
The first perspective formally dom

mates the attitude of the Imperialist
powers because it is the policy of the
United States; Britain and Japan
adopt it because thereby they gain
formal united-front with America,
while really using it to prepare the
second line. The two latter powers,
more Intimately acquainted with Chi
Inese realities, have no faith whatever
in the capacity of the Chinese bour-
geoisie. American imperialism being
without strong foothold on Chinese
territory, wants to use the Chinese
bourgeoisie against Britain and Japan,
if it can be done while suppressing
the masses. Within each imperialism
there also exists division of opinion
on the same line-with the foreign
communities in China, including the
American, almost unanimously for the
perspective of intervention.
Thus, we witness the Shanghai
Municipal Council, while graciously
granting the Chinese merchants
minority place in its ranks during
April just past, accompanies the gift
with a great parading of armed for
ces, while before the Town Hall when
the decision was being rendered was
displayed the new police riot wagon,
described by the Shanghai Times as
chat monstrous red vehicle" with
the machine-gun atop it aimed upon

Trained from attending the Rate

the spirit with which the new union
Of Chinese bourgeoisie with the i'm
perialists has been consummated.
1t is quite clear that the foreigners
in China have no faith in their new
partners. They understand quite
clearly the fatal weaknesses of the

take full advantage of them. They
