THE DEFEAT OF MUKDEN.


THE DEFEAT OF MUKDEN.
But the swift and continuous victories of
the Red Army over the Chinese bandits and
white guards and also the strong support rem
dered by the workers of the world, made world
imperialism and its bounding dogs hopeless
and helpless in their first attempt against the
Soviet Union. The Red Army was invincible.
Mukden was defeated So was Marking. In
this juncture, came the rescue of Yankee i'm
perialism. Through Stimson, at time when
Mukden has already capituated and peace
negotiations were under way it sent
note in the name of the ''Kellogg Pact" to the
Soviet Union, designed to give further sup
port to the Chinese militarists and pressure
against the Soviet government. Again, the
state of proletarian dictatorship answered it
with revolutionary frmness and dignity. Again
strong protests came from workers in the
United States and throughout thepworld. Again
the war ncte of world imperialism met the
same fate at its first attempt. The Chinese
"army" melted before the counter offensive of
the heroic Red Army. They fled away by tens
of thousands They were completely democrat
lied. The cause of this decentralization of the
Chinese 'army," which led to the capitulation
of the Knomintang generals coul not be sought
only by the heroic stroke of the Red Army.
The victory of the Red Army is a signal of
uprisings of the long oppressed workers and
poverty-stricken peasants in China. The Red
Army did not gain its victory by iron and
blood alone, but also by its revolutionary
kindle-light. One of the military officers, Mr..
Liang, gave a very instructive report in this
connection According to the news from the
Shanghai Shun Pao, leading reactionary
newspaper in China, Mr.. Liang reported about
the seriousness of the situation in the oc-
cupied district, Fuchin, as follows:
g. The Russian Red Army seized all
the food stuff and distributed it among the
~'"- ~e"r'e in order to get their favor
There were airplanes carrying Chinese
ua.,. prop gandists and distribut-
ing leaflets in Chinese vernacular lam
guage. In these leaflets the conditions of
the workers, peasants and soldiers in the
Soviet Russia were contrasted with those
in China. Leaflets written in the name of
our soldiers who went over to the Red
Army. with pictures of our soldiers to-
gether with the Red Army, were also
widely distributed :"
This helps to explain the complete democrat
ization of the Chinese army the capitulaton
of the counter-revoutionary generals, ard also
the establishment of the Mongol Soviet Re-
public in Western Manchuria.
The influence AMI effect of the victory of
the Red Army was not limited to Manchura.
1t spreads like fire everywhere in China. The
Chinese workers and peasants, under the lead
ershp of the Communist Party of China have
made gigantic Roadway in their struggles. Be-
sides holding the old territories, the Commu-
mist peasant troops have captured Kanchow,
important commercial city in southeast
China, and also Tayeh, a city of great iron
industry. The New York Times reported that
when 300 government troops were dispatched
to que the revolt in Tayeh, they joined the
Communist army in single body. The work.
ers in large cities also begun to strike. The new
revolutionary wave is coming. In this coming
wave the Chinese workers and peasants, I'M
der the leadership of the Communist Party of
China will smash the counter-revolutionar
regime of foreign Imperialism and native re-
action and establish the Soviet Rule. Thus
it will not only build Chinese Great Wall for
the defense of the First Workers Republic but
also another fortress of world revolution,
The present battle is really battle between
international bourgeoise and the international
proletariat, and also an armed rehearsal be-
fore the decisive struggle. Grouping of forces
and testing of strength were clearly exhibited
In the imperalist war threat against the So
Wet Union this episode demonstrates the Chi
nese militarists furnish armed bands, the i'm
perialists are to supply money and political
