moment, China of the Soviets Of the working
masses, revolutionary China, played quite an
other role than that of the Chang Kai-shell
bourgeoisie. Round the slogans of the Soviets
and the Communist Party OF China there have
rallied all the forces which can effectively OPP
pose the Japanese and all other imperialists.
The Chinese workers and peasants are thor
oughly serious in their fight to emancipate China
from the yoke Of Imperialism, just as they are
serious in their fight for the agrarian revolution
and for the emancipation of the working class.
If the Soviet Congress is successfully held, the
Soviet government elected and permanent cen
ter thereby set up in Wuchang, this will mean,
precisely in the present historical situation, a
turning point the Importance Of which cannot
be sufficiently appreciated. A central Soviet
Government in Wuchang would form the coun-

in China. Around this government there would
gather all the real anti-imperialst and revolu-
