LUTON IN CHINA.

WHAT will be the nature Of the coming revo-
luton in China? The Sixth Congress of
the Communist international has very def
nitely and correctly answered the question. |
can do not better than to quote from the Col
onial Thesis which, / think, is a masterpiece
of Marxist-Leninist analysis and presentation.
"As in all colonies and semi-colonies, so
also in China and India the development of
productive forces and the specialization of labor
stands at comparatively low level. This cir
cumstance, together with the fact of foreign
DOMINATE and also the presence of powerful
relics O feudalism and pre-capitalist relations,
determines the character of the immediate
stage of the revolution in these countries. In
the revolutionary movement of these countries
we have to deal with the bourgeois democratic
revolution, l. e., of the stage signifying the
preparation of the prerequisites for proletar-
ian dictatorship and socialist revolution Cor
responding to this, the following kinds of
tasks can be pointed out, which may be con-
sldered as general basic tasks of the bourgeois
democratic revolution in the colonies and semi
colonies:
"(a) shifting in the relationship of forces
in favor of the proletariat: emancipation of the
country from the yoke of imperialism (nation-
alization of foreign concessions, railways,
banks, etc. and the establishment of the ma
tional unity of the country where this has not
yet been attained: overthrow of the power of
the exploiting classes at the back of which i'm
perialism stands; organization of Soviets of
workers and peasants and organization of the
Red Army establishment of the dictatorship
of the proetariat and peasantry; consolidation
OF the hegemony of the proletariat.
cob The carrying through of the agrarian
- r..
all pre-capitslist and colonial conditions of ex-
ploitation and bondage; naturalization of the
land; radical measures for alleviating the posi-
ton of the peasantry with the object of estab-
fishing the closest possible economic and poll
teal union between the town and village.
"(cN In correspondence with the further de-
velopment of industry, transport ETC., and with
the accompanying growth of the proletariat
the widespread development of trade union or
carnations of the working class, strengthens
ing of the Communist Party and its conquest
of a firm leading position among the toiling
masses; the achievement of the 8-hour work.

"(d) Establishment of equal rights for ma
tionaties and of sex equality (equal rights
for women; separation of the church from the
state and the abolition of caste distinctions;
political education and raising of the general
CULTURAL ieNei Oh lne masses IN town and cOun-
try, etc.
"How far the bourgeois democratc revolu-
ton will be able in practice to realize all it's
basic tasks and how far it will be the case
that part of these tasks will be carried into
effect only by the socialist revolution, will de-
pend on the course of the revolutionary move
ment Of the workers and peasants and its sue
cesses or defeats in the struggle against the
mperasts, feuda lords and the bourgeoisie
In particular the emancipation of the colony
from the imperalist yoke is facilitated by the
development of the socialist revolution in the
capitalist world and can only be completely
guaranteed by the victory of the proletarat in
the leading capitalist countries" Nnprecorr,

THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY AND
THE REVOLUTION IN CHINA.
Who will be the leader in the coming revo.
luton in China? This question can be an
swered categorically without hesitation or
prejudice. The vanguard Of the Chinese prole-
tariat, the Chinese Communist Party, is the
only leader in the present struggles of the
Chinese masses and will be the only leader in
the coming revolution. The Kuomintang has
long since turned counter-revolutonary. The
