mood in the Marking government. All this is
first step on the way to the final victory over
Imperialism and the rule of the Kuomntang.
The robber-attack of the japanese imperialists
can only increase the indignation of the revolu-
tonary masses and extend the anti -imperialst
fight. No pacification naneuvers and measures
of suppression by the Kuonintnng can in any
way alter this. The dockworkerS on the quays
in Shanghai where the Japanese ships are
berthed, protest by a strike; the Chinese stu
dents leave the Japanese Tung Wen-school the
defense detachment of the Mukden mine -thrower
factory has fallen in the fight against the Jap
aneSe occupation troops.
The Soviet government expresses its revolu-
tionary sorrow and sympathy for these victims
Of the mass fight against Japanese imperialism.
1t believes that the development of this fight
will stir up the broadcast masses of the oppressed
and exploited. The workers will link up the fight
against Japanese imperialism with the fight for
the overthrow of the Kuomintang rule, for the
setting up of the Soviet power; they will rally
round the fighting banner of the Soviet govern
naent.
The Japanese imperialists must be called upon
Immediately to Withdraw their troops from Man
churia, and the whole Of the Japanese military
sea, land, and air forces from China to give
back without compensation the Southern Man
churian railway, and the Japanese concessions
in Port Arthur and Dairen. All the privileges of
the Japanese imperialists, all unequal treaties
which the ounter-revoutionary Chinese gov
ernments have concluded with them, must be
annulled.
Only thus can the basis of the Japanese i'm
perialist attack on China be completely de-
stroyed.
The Chinese Soviet Government supported by
the whole of the oppressed and exploited popu-
lation Of China, will not recognize any PREACHER
GUS treaties and secret agreements concluded by
the Kuomintang government with the Japanese
imperialists as result of the occupation of
Manchuria.
The Chinese Soviet Government further points
out that it is necessary that the working popu-
lation of China, in this fight against the Kuo-
mintang rule, against all treacherous and capitu-
latory views, and groupings, against all imper-
ialists, unite with all classes oppressed, and ex
plotted by world imperialism, with the colonial
and semi-colonial peoples, and especially with
the workers and peasants of the Soviet Union
and Japan.
In the Soviet districts of China, the broadest
revolutionary working, and peasant masses, led
by the Chinese Soviet Government, stand in the
midst of the fight against the Kuomintang mill
tarists who are supported and led by the imper-
ialists. This fight is at the same time an anti
imperialist fight for the emancipation OF the
people. The brutal action Of Japanese imperial
ism In Manchllria is also directed against the
advancing Soviet Revolution in China, and also
aims at setting up and consolidating the direct
rule of Japan in North China for the purpose
of fighting against the Chinese revolution.
Workers and peasants of oppressed Chinal
Will you allow yourselves, under the rule of
the Kuonintang, to be enslaved by Japanese
imperialism? Or will you, under the leadership
of the Soviet Power, take up the irreconcilable
fight against Japanese imperialism?
The increased revolutionary fights, Just as the
barbarous rule of the imperialsts and the Kuo-
mintang, are forcing you on to the path Of the
Soviet revolution. Unite for the common fight
in the territories Of the Kuomintang rule! Work
ers, down tools! Peasants, revolt! Students
school children, strikel Small shopkeepers close
your shops Soldiers, mutiny! Wage common
fight against imperialism, for the overthrow OF
the Kuomintang reaction, the 1ackeys of inlper-
ialisml Take part in the revolutionary civil war!
Extend the front of the fight for emancipa-
toni
Thus the Soviet revolution becomes the only
force for putting end to the acts Of violence
of jar -nese imperialism, for finally crushing the
position of power Of Imperialism in China!
Away with the forceful occupation Of Man
