URGES SUPPORT
Of The U. S. S. R.
Calls for Oppressed
to Unite


the revolution, leaving the imperial
lists in control of vast areas and re-
sources of China. Chang is the
leader of the treacherous Chinese
bourgeoisie merchants, landlords,
bankers, etc., who, preferring to
share with the foreigL imperialists
in the exploitation and oppression
of the Chinese masses to seeing
these masses liberated and in con-
troll of state power betrayed the I'LL
innate aims of the revolution, which
were to drive the imperialist oppres-
Sors out of China. This act of be-
Erayal of the Chinese masses to the
smperialists is typical not only of
The Chinese bourgeoisie but of the
bourgeoisie of all oppressed groups,
as clearly demonstrated in the his
tory of the liberation struggles in
Africa, in India, in the West Indies,
and by the Negro masses in the
United States.
That Chang kai Shek does not
represent the Chinese masses is
clearly demonstrated by the state
ment Of the Chinese workers in the
United States, denouncing his pro-
vocative acts against the Soviet
Union, by the unanimous denuncia-
ton coming from the Chinese stu
dents and workers resident in Soviet
Russia, and, from the necessity with
which he is faced of maintaining
power by wholesale slaughter and
terrorism. Even while he plays his
role of puppet-tool to the imperial
lists of England, the United States,
Japan, ETC., in provoking war against
the Soviet Union, his power is
threatened by the advance of sew
eral workers and peasants armies in
Fukien, Kiangsi and Kwangtung
provinces. If Chang hopes, by his
imperialist venture against the first
workers republic, to divert the at
tention of the Chinese masses from
his regime of murder and treachery,
ne is destined to be sadly mistaken.
We are convinced that now, more
Than ever before, the Chinese work
ers and peasants will rally against
this imperialist tool. In his own
armies he will face desertion by the
thousands as the clacs-conscious Chi
nese workers and peasants rally for
the class struggle, for the defense of
the first workers republic, the So
cialist Fatherland of the workers of
the world, and for the overthrow of
the imperialist bandits who seek to
involve China in an attack on Soviet
Russia.
The class-conscious Negro workers
of the United States clearly under
stand the nature of the attack upon
the Soviet Union. For years, the
Soviet Union has been a thorn in
the side of the imperialists and a
stumbling block to their schemes for
further wars of oppression and for
intensified exploitation and repres-
sion in the colonies. For ten years
Soviet Russian has stood as a bea-
ION light the revolutionary rallyihg
center for IL the oppressed classes
and races of the world. 1t is a re-
alization of this fact that accounts
for the enmity of world imperialism
to Soviet Russia, for the refusal to
recognize the Soviet Government,
and for the open charge of the i'm
perialists that Soviet Russia has
given moral and financial support
to the revolutionary movements in
the colonies.
If there was doubt as to the origin
and nature of the present attack
upon Soviet Russia one has but to
read the articles and editorials ap-
pearing in the imperialist press to
realize the unanimity of the British,
United States, Japanese, French and
other imperialists in their hostility
toward the workers republic. Col
umns of type are being given over
to the attack on Soviet Russia. We
see the significant phenomena of
capitalist papers like the Daily
News, whose policy ordinarily is one
Of vicious attack on the. colored
races, and whose subsidiary, LIB
erty" magazine is now running a
serial "The Red Napoleon" in which
every effort is made to arouse the
white workers of this country to
racial hatred of everything colored--
we see this chauvinist paper taking
up the cudgels for the Chinese mill
larists, for Chang Kai Shek and
Ither tools Of world imperialism.
Negro workers! Chinese workers!
Oppressed workers of all races! We
must meet the imperialist attack up
on Soviet Russia with iron working
class solidarity! 1t is class against
class! The imperialists and their
lackeys against the oppressed races
and classes-the oppressors and ex-
ploiters against the workers, and
peasants of all races. This is the
issue! The attack on the Soviet I'm
ion by the Chinese militarists is only
the first move in a general imper-
ialist offensive against the first
workers republic.
Negro workers! Rally to the de-
Tense Of the Soviet Union!
Defeat American imperialist in
trigues in China!
Oppose Wall Street loans to the
Chinese tools of World Imperialism!
