Japan Launches Savage Drive to
Crush Fight Of Masses in Manchuria

militarists and leaped into propli-
hence, while on the other hand real
revolutionists we're put to death.
During the past five years there
have been continued civil war and
political feuds. Our party has d.
integrated and the so-caI1ed leaders
have stopped to begging mercy from
foreign imperialists and have re-
sorted to political tricks the old man
darins never would have dared. I'M
der the name of party rule every
conceivable crime has been COM
mitted, until the people hate the
name Kuomintang.
"Anti-People, Anti Revolutionary"
More recently Marking and Can
ton stood at opposition TO each other,
each Boosting Of its own merits.
Such terms as revolutionary foreign
affairs, democracy, ETC., were used
to mislead the public. Really, how
ever, both were dependent upon the
militarists and lived by the flattery
of the revolution. Both are anti
people and anti-revolutionary.
"Since the Japanese invasion of
Manchuria, owing to public opinion
both we're forced to lay down their
arms for a so-called peace and ma
tional unification. For months the
leaders squabbled over party spoils,
neglecting the peoples welfare.
Sees Unity" Move AS Basis
for Further Crimes.
These so-called leaders are I'M
aware that the reason for the ex-
istence Of the rule Of personal dicta-
torship, degeneration of the Kuomin-
tang and the country's invasion by a
foreign foe are all traceable to their
departure from the masses. For only
with the masses as the central or
ganization of the Kuomintang can
the revolution be achieved.
Gwen if the present leaders achieve
unification in accordance with their
plan, it would merely mean divi-
sion of spoils and an opportunity to
commit more crimes. I cannot bear
to see the foundations of the revo-
luton established by Sun Yat-sen
after forty years of struggle destroyed
by a handful of selfish men.
"I am unwilling to see a nation of
4O0,oO0,oOO people extinguished by the
Kuomintang, which has repudiated
itself. If the party cannot save the
nation and benefit the people, then
it is doomed to extinction, which I
will not regret.
81 believe that only the revolution
which uses as a foundation the en-
tire people and which strives for the
people can eliminate militarism, de-
stroy Imperialism and bring realiza-
ton of the principle Of socialism.
"China's true revolutionists won't
shrink fearfully from the reaction
aries horrible oppression, but will, in
answering the peoples demands, re-
double their efforts for advancement
along the road Of revolution"

Madame Suns attack on the Kuo-
n1intang tools of imperialism is sig
nificant of the tremendous mass up
surge of the Chinese masses against
these tools and their imperialist mas
tiers. 1t is undoubtedly an attempt to
take advantage Of the masses up
surge to reorganize the 'left" Third
Party and in this way to divert the
growing anti-imperialist mass move
ment from the revolutionary leader
ship Of the Communist Party.
Silent for yeasr in face of the muir
derous terror against the Chinese
masses, or busy spreading illusions
about the revolutionary "possobil-
ties of Eugene Chen, Wang Ching
wei and others of the Canton gang,
Madame Sun has been forced to adj
NIT what the Chinese Communist
Party has all along pointed out--the
complete degeneration of the Kuo-
rnintang Party into an instrument of
murder and terror against the only
revolutionary movement in China, the
movement led by the Communist
Party and backed by the eighty mil
lion workers and peasants in the Sow
let districts and by millions through
out China.
The Kuomintang itself is the party
of the capitalists and feudal land
owners. 1t Is an instrument of the
imperialists in their war on the Cen
trail Chinese Soviet Government and
the Chinese masses. The Kuomin-
tang cannot be changed by q change
in leadership. Only the Communist
Party is leading and will lead the
masses in the struggle against I'M
perialisn, in the struggle for a free
and united China.
