Appeal of the Central Chinese Soviet Government
Against the Robber Campaign OF Japan Imperialism

ment; in fact it is result of its reasonable
foreign policyl
The Chinese Soviet Government declares be-
fore all the oppressed and exploited masses of
China:
Just as it did on the occasion of the bloody
attack of the Japanese troops in Tsinan, so also
this time the Kuomintang government is be-
traying the interests of the people of Marchuria,
Mongolia and North China to the Japanese i'm
perialists and leading the whole of China fur
ther on the way of colonization.
Oppressed masses of Chinai
Do not place your hopes in the Kuomintang
government taking any steps against The Jap
anese imperialists! They wish to force the revo-
lutionary masses to their knees before imperial
ism! They will go begging to the robbers for
peace; they will order their own troops to allow
themselves to be peacefully disarmed by the
Japanese troops, in order thereby to prove to
the Japanese government their shameful capitu-
lationI
Do not cherish any illusions that the various
military cliques of the Kuomintang will conclude
peace among themselves and unite against the
Japanese attack! They will seek to Guido one
another in their betrayal of the interests of the
people, and thus smooth the way for Japanese
Imperialism.
Do not give any credence to the lying phrases
of cooperation of all classes for the common
fight against the outer enemy" The capitalists
have already made use of this opportunity in
order to put forward their slogan of Increased
output of the workers"
Do not have any confidence in the League of
Nations or the Kellogg Pact preventing the acts
of robbery of Japanese imperialism! These are
the institutions of the imperalist robbers them
selves!
Hyalr f,o
can in the common fight together with all ex-
plotted classes and peoples of the world, over
throw the rule of world imperialism and bring
their robber-plans to naught!
The exploited masses of China must recognize
Whilst the various military cliques of the Kuo-
mintang, the bourgeoise and the landowners, to-
gether with the imperialist Powers are forging
their plans how best to exploit and Cypress the
Chinese masses, and are themselves prepared to
sacrifice the interests of national independence
to the imperialistS dhe occupation of Manchuria
is an example of this), the Chinese Soviet gov
eminent which is leading the masses for the
carrying out of the sgrarian revolution and for
the anti-imperialist fight is striving with all its
forces for national emancipation, for the over
throw of the rule of all imperialists in Chinai
In the Soviet districts the positions of power
and the privileges of all the imperalists have
been consistently and ruthlessly abolished The
fight of the broadcast masses against imperialism
is promoted and protected by the Soviets.
Already for year the Kuonlintang troops ac-
companied by the aircraft ard gunbosts of the
imperialists, have been conducting campaign
against the Soviets, against the revolutionary
workers and peasants and their red army. They
wish to smash 10 pieces the only anti-imperialist
Power, the Soviet government. Therefore, the
reactionary Kuomintang government, imme-
diately after the Japanese occupation of Man
churia, declared: THE Red Bands must be ex-
terminated root and branch" They realize that
without the determination of the Reds the
broad mass fight against Japanese Imperialism
cannot be crushed, and as a result Japanese I'M
perialism cannot be appeased
But the broad masses of the workers and peas
ants and all the oppressed and exploited sec
tons of the population have in these years. in
the midst of the agrarian revolution and of the
anti-imperaist fight demonstrated their in
flexible determination and their unvanquishable
power. The Soviet Power Of the workers, peas
ants and poor population has been set up in
districts in the provinces of Human, Hupeh, Ho-
nan, Kiangsi, Fukien Kwantung, Anhwei, etc.
The continual victories of the Red workers and
peasants army and the defeat and demoraliza-
ton of the Kuomintang troops evoke real panic
