Defeat the Imperialist Bloody
Loan to China

In praiSing this "offer of friendly service"
former Senator Cannon of Utah bluntly asked
What right have we to go on in the SNUG self
suffcency of unconsumed and understandable
surplus while millions die in want of the very
thing which go to demoralizing waste here?"
This gentleman seems to be very far-sighted and
cannot see starving millions right here in the
United States. the land of prosperity and rich
ness" Such hypocrisy of tear-sheddIng humani-
tarianism needs no further exposure.
In its editorial of January 9, the New York
Times disclosed half the truth. Admitting the
new" phase of intervention. it declared:
"The Scheme is not wholly altruistic. The
idea is to put the Chinese Government in
position to purchase millions of bushels of
surplus American and Canadian wheat. 1t
also intends to raise the price of silver. :. -
But the immediate and real aim of this loan
has been openly revealed in the person of Mr..
Lawrie, economist of the American Institute of
Mining and Metalurgcal Engineers While
speaking on behalf of the silver industry he
unreservedly proclaimed:
unless prompt action is taken to determine
a solution of the silver problem to establish
economic isolation for Soviet Russia. . :"
Again: I'm such reforms China should be
accorded the sympathetic consideration of
other nations and supported by the extension
of additional loans in her war against the
Soviet Menace, if the Orient is to contribute it's
full share to the solution of the present world
depression"
Mr.. Stevens, Minister of Trade and Com
merce of Canada lis of the opinion that imme-
date action is necessary by Western nations if
Sovietism is to be kept out of China and India. .
(Times correspondence of Jan. 81 Senator
Cannon also stated that the Chinese masses
in ted will for no
nent of the Russian Soviet"
Thus it is very clear that the real aim of this
bloody loan is to organize interventionist war
against the Soviet Union on the Eastern front
and to crush the rising Soviet Power of the
Workers and peasants in China.
All the advocaters and supporters of this loan
attempt to picture that Chang Kai Shek have
made successful drives against the Red rebels
Oawrie) and that the Marking Government can
maintain order in China" and is reasonably
stable" Chimes Editorial of Jan. % But, what
is the fact? 1t is true that Chang Kai Shek
had declared two months ago that the Red
Menace would be exterminated within six months
and himself went to Kuikiang and Hankow with
100000 soldiers, 80 airplanes and 20 gunboats to
conduct the drive. Have the counter revolution
made any success" so far? Only an idiot would
answer in the affirmative Only on January 10
the Times correspondent reported the alarming
advance of the Soviet Power The same CORE
spondent stated on jan that on division of the
punitive troops was facing complete humiliation,
and the Communist force has captured Shingkuo
in the Kiangsi province The abolition of Likin
is openly refused by the local militarists. The
war between Chang Hsiu Liang and Chang Kai
Shek is in preparation.
Then, why do these gentlemen give false
picture of the Marking Government? Because
they want to throw dust in the eyes Of workers
that the loan is "for the development of public
works of stable regime" instead Of being used
