main loyal to their imperiaIst mas
tiers.
1t is very significant that Com
rade T. H. Ii came to America as
one of the Boxer Indemnity stu
dents and in spite of the unversi-
ties of America learned to under
stand the true role of American
imperialism.
Many books could be written
about the many murderous assaults
against the Chinese people by the
American imperialists as well as
the other imperialist powers. The
massacreS in Shanghai on May 30,
1925, and June Is of the same year
in Canton had the active support
and in one degree or another the
participation of the American i'm
perialist forces. The bombardment
of Marking in March, 1927, was led
by the warships of American i'm
perialism. The bloody suppression
OF the Canton Commune in Decem-
ber 1927, was assisted by American
gunboats. The destruction of the
Changsha Soviet Government in
July, 1880, was accomplished by
American and British gunboats
acting in concert. The lombard
ment of the Soviet territories along
the Yangtse and in Canton prov
inceS in South China as well as the
most recent events at Hainan Is
land are further examples of the
long history of mass murder of i'm
perialism in China.
The American working class must
learn the lessons of these events,
must understand their historical
setting and significance and the in
innate connection they have with
the daily problems of the work in

lief and for social insurance, the
struggle for Negro rights, all of the
outstanding struggles of the Ameri-
can working class are directed
against pr cisely the same po--er,
the same enemy against which the
Chinese people are fighting. That
power is the power of finance cap
ital of monopoly capital, of impe-
rialisn, which expresses itself in
the ugly form of the United States
government headed by Herbert
Hoover in Washington, and being
administered against the body of
Comrade T. H. Lii today by Secre-
tary of Labor Doak.
Every worker must raise the
loudest possible protest against the
deportation of Comrade Lii. Every
worker must help to organize the
support for the Chinese Revolution.

considerably strengthened the pow
er of American imperialism in
China against its rivals.
With the rise of the revolution
airy mass movement in China in the
past four years, however, this clever
vancouver of the United States has
begun to fail. The Boxer Indem-
nifty students in America have be-
gun to learn the true nature of
American imperialism as well as
that of other imperiaist powers.
More and more Chinese students in
America have been turning to the
Communist Party. The organ of
the Chinese Students Alliance in
America, the Chinese Students
Monthly" which had been pub
lished for 26 years as good SER
want of American imperialism, be-
gan to speak out very forcefully
against imperialism as a whole, to
expose the role of United States
imperialism in China and to ex-
plain the Communist program Of
anti-imperialist revolution in
China.
American imperialism was unable
to stop this trend of developments
among Chinese students. The most
it was able to do was to destroy
the Chinese Students Monthly"
and prevent its continued appear
ance in any form. Today imperial
ism is making desperate effort
to frighten the Chinese students
back to servility by the deportation
of Comrade T. H. Lii into the hands
of the butcher Chang Kai-shek as

Support the
Revolution
In China

In China the power of imperial-
ism and its native agents, the Chi
nese militarists, is being shaken by
the rising revolutionary movement
of the Chinese workers and peas
ants. For over year the Chinese
Soviet Districts have been success
fully repulsing all of the attacks of
reaction and have extended their
territory to include population OF
&C million people. The militarists
themselves admit that the entire
population,-men, women and chill
dren-have joined the Soviet move
ment and under the leadership of
the Communist Party of China are
fighting unitedly for liberation from
imperialist and niitarist rule.
This is the reason why the Unit
ed States government, one of the
worst oppressors of the Chinese
people is deporting Comrade T. H.
Ii from the United States to de-
liver him into the hands of Chang
Kai-shek, the hangman of the Chi
nese people.
In the past four years, Chang
Kai-shek has been directly reSpon-
sible for the cold-blooded slaughter
of hundreds of thousands of revo-
lutionary Chinese workers, men,
women and children on the charge
of being Communists. The world
has never witnessed such cold
blooded mass-murder as that per-
petrated by the Kuomintang in
China. 1t is into the hands of this
bloody monster that the United
States Secretary of Labor, Doak,
demands that Comrade Lii shall be
