China.
Insolcnt Provocation.
The seizing of the Russo-Chinese
Eastern Railway, the arrest, impris-
onment, deportations of Soviet
workers, the massing Of tens of
thousands of troops on the Man
churian border, are insolent acts of
provocation, are the beginning of a
definite move to invade the Soviet
Union, to destroy the revolution in
the land of the Soyiets, and to let
loose a reign of terror and mass
murder unparalleled in history.
The capitalist press, the poison
mongers of the bourgeoisie that
SANDER every workers strike, that
lies daily against the working class,
the strikebreaking organs of the ex-
pleiters are now slandering the
Soviet Union. championing the cause
of the war lords and yoicing the in
terests of the imperialists against
the Soviet Union. Despite the open
provocation of the servile Chinese
government against the Soviet
Union, despite the hypocritical
coyater-demands of the Chinese
g yernment to the just demands of
lie Soviet Union for the release of
the arrested Soviet workers, the
capitalist press aims to pu. the
Soviet Union in the position of ag-
gressor. This is done to cover up
the acts of war of the Chinese war
lords and the maneuvers of the i'm
perialist powers.
The socialists and labor bureau
cr+ys, that are part of the capital
ist war machine, are now playing
their dirty role in this conspiracy
against the Soviet Union. They are
speaking of cred Imperialism" of
the workers republic, when every
honest worker in the world knows
that the Soviet Union has been the
foremost champion for the peace of
the world, has repeatedly proposed
universal disarmament, which was
rejected by the capitalist diplomats
under instructions from their gov
crnments.
Only Nation Granting Freedom.
The Soviet Union has been the
only nation in the world that has
given complete independence to the
former oppressed nationalities of
Czarist Russia. The people of Soviet
Union, composed of over one hun
bred different nationalities, live in
the most complete harmonious and
peaceful relations. Every honest
worker knows that the Soviet Union
was the only nation that returned
to the Chinese people all the rights
which had been seized from them
by the old imperialist czarist gov
eminent. The Macdonald govern
rnent, which promised recognition as
one of its first acts, has been doing
the bidding of the imperialists, de-
laying recognition, and is now pre-
pairing humiliating terms as COR
dition for recognition. The 'labor"
government of Macdonald and the
socialist government of Mueller are
governments of war against the
Soviet Union.
The imperlalist powers, despite
the fundamental antagenisms among
them, have one common platform on
which they all meet-their i'm
placable hatred and fear of the Sow
let Union. They are making war
against the Soviet Union because
they fear the onward march of the
forces of the workers and peasants
republic toward the building of So
cialism. They are beginning to
make war on the Soviet Union be-
cause their own system is shaky,
growing ever more unstable; be-
cause they hope with the destruction
of the Soviet Union they may be
able by Selling the land of the Sow
lets to secure new markets and raw
material; they may be able to obtain
huge profits and to stave off the
growing acuteness of the world
crisis of capitalism.
White Guard Murder.
They hope by making war on the
Soviet Union, by suppressing the
great land of liberated proletarian
workers, to succeed through a
reign of white guard murder to
suppress the rising tide of the class
struggle in their own imperialist
countries. They hope by destroying
the Russian Revolution to be free
from this revolutionary force that
is danger to the capitalist system
and an inspiration to the world
proletariat and oppressed colonial
peoples and to fight out the antag-
onisms among themselves Springing
from the need of new markets, raw
materials, antagonisms that are
leading to a world war among the
imperialist powers.
Who is Making VIZ Against the
Soviet Union?
The Chinese war lords respon-
sible for the death Of millions Of
Chinese people through famine, the
hirclings Of the imperialists that
have resorted to the cruelest forms
of torture and slaughter Of tens Of
thousands of trade unionists, mill
tants and Communists.
