more a movement against all imper-
ialist invasion in China, the Kuomin-
tang lackeys Of imperialism are at
tempting to set up a fake "left" gov
eminent under the leadership Of the
Canton wing.

wrecked the Foreign Office in Nank-
ing. They then stormed the Kuon1in-
tang headquarters where Marking Of
ficisls were holding an emergency
meeting. A Marking dispatch to the
New York World Telegram reports
"the students sang Communist songs
waved red flags, and shouted anti
government slogans"
The Marking officials ordered a
ferocious attack on the demonstra-
tors. Troops with machine guns
fired point blank into the crowds
killing several scores and Veunding
many others. Drawing the murderous
machine gun fire of the Marking
the Kuomintang headquarters, smash
ing everything in sight and beating
military, the demonstrators storrned
UP several Marking officials, among
them Gen. Chen Mingshu, chairman
of the Kwantung Provincial Govern
ment and new head Of the legislative
Yuan. The demonstrators disarmed
scores Of soldiers during the fighting,
and turned their rifles on them.

Admits Chang Forced Out by Masses.
A Marking dispatch to the New
York orld-Telegram admits that
Chang was forced out by the mass
movement and growing revolutionary
spirit throughout Kuornintang China.
The dispatch reports:
''Chiang's decision TO step down
followed weeks Of demonstrations
by students against the govern
ment's non-aggressive policy in
Manchurfa."
The dispatch reflects the alarm OF
the inperislist bandits in face Of the
growing mass movement which con-
stitutes,. together with the Chinese
Soviet Power and the Red Army, q
mighty threat to their plans to par
tition China and crush the Chinese
Revolution.
Lin Sen, chairman OF the Legisla-
tive Yuan, was appointed Acting
President, following the fall Of
Chang Kat-shek Lin has threat
ened the masses of Marking and the
students and workers converging
there from all parts of China with
martial law.
Fear Rising Anger of Masses
Eighty thousand students are re-
ported moving on Marking. The gov
eminent has ordered Kuomintang Of
ficials in other cities to break up the
movement before it gets to Marking.
A Marking dispatch reports:
"The government Immediately
ordered precautions throughout the
country as they feared serious
repercussions when other students
learned of the events at Nankins"
A Shanghai dispatch TO the New
York Times admits:
There are 10000 students in
Marking and another large deleoa-
ton is Leaving Shanghai today. The
government Is virtually powerless
in the hands Of the students, whose
wrath has turned On the govern
ment, including Chang Kai-shek,
after driving out DR.. wellington
Koo and other officials for their
alleged weak handling Of the Sino-
Japanese dispute"
Marking Canton Forming United
Front Against Masses.
A united front Of the Marking and
Canton cliques against the Chinese
Revolution is rapidly taking form.
The discredited face of the Marking
clique is being showed into the back
ground and the Canton clique Is TAX
ing the leadership. This is man
euver to deceive the Chinese masses.
Canton's dominance In the alliance
indicates also strengthening Of the
position Of Japanese and British I'M
perialisns In China at the expense
of the begemony Of the United States
imperialists which was exercised thru
the Marking clique. The imperialist
international press Is gTavely con-
cerned lest this maneuver should fail
in its purpose OF deception end be
unable to head off the mass anti
imperialist movement.
The resignation Of Chang Kali
shek, Wall STREETS puppet, will spur
American imperialist activity in
China, and the U. S. armed forces
will undoubtedly play big role to
maintain U. S. hegemor1y and help
combat the growing anti-imperialist
movement.
French In Attack In South China
The imperialists do not intend to
trust this task solely to the Canton
clique. French troops from Indo-
China have entered Southern China
