The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1931-05-30

American countries, the Alliance OF
Chinese Anti-imperiahsts in Amer
lea strongly protests against the
proposal for silver loan to the
Nationalist Government of China,
as embodied in the Senate resolu-
ton Of February II, 1881, and
against any such loans, gold or sill
yer, from one imperialist power
alone or from an international body
OF imperialist bankers or govern
ments. We also declare our opposi-
ton to any international silver con-
ference which, in the name Of sta
bilizing the value of silver, is ac-
tually a means of providing the
imperialist powers concerned with
an instrument of realizing their
scheme of forcing a silver loan on
China and thus further ensalving
the Chinese people.
This is not only the opinion of
the members and supporters OF the
League, but it also definitely re-
fleets the firm and determined
stand of,the toiling masses in China
who are now heroically fighting to
overthrow the oppressive, tyranical
and white terrorist Marking re-
gime of imperialist agents, and
who, when victorious, will unhesi-
tatingly repudiate all such loans
made to their oppressors to tighten
the chain of oppression and eX-
ploitation.
Characteristic of the representa-
tiveS of a class which has made the
calculation and piling up of profits
its purpose in life and has perfect
ed the cheap trickery of salesman
ship to an art, you have cleverly
sought in your resolution to make
Uncle Shylock appear as bene-
factor and friend of the Chinese
people whom you admire and re-
spect." You are so considerable and
fatherly that you even have
thought of such trifles as that "the
people of oriental countries are sus-
picious Of paper money" because it
is subject to destruction when
placed in loin cloths, and that "the
wages are so low in China that
laborer would be compelled to work
for months before he could save a
gold piece sufficiently large to con-
veniently preserve" Under the cir
cuumstances, therefore, you argue
touchingly. China requires silver
coins, and since there are standard
silver dollars now lying idle in the
us. Treasury, they might be "util-
lied" to accommodate the Chinese
people!
OF course, such trifles are merely
put in to show your fatherly con-
sideration for a friendly "neighbor."
You have even more lofty motives,
that of seeking to give moral, in
telectual and financial aid to the
National Government of China" In
order to prove that this government
of China is worthy of your support,
you cited the unanimous testimony
submitted to the Senate" which
endorsed the government of China
as "a good government and is sat-
isfactory to our citizens engaged in
trade and commerce with China"
Thus you have put your official
stamp on the Marking government
of Chang KaiShek, a government
that has tortured and murdered
more than half a million workers
and peasants in cold blood since
1927, a government that has de-
prived the workers and peasants of
China of every vestige of the civil
rights of citizenship, government
that is now desperately engaged in
suppressing the revolt of millions
of workers and peasants organized
in soviets throughout South China,
white terrorist, anti-worker-peas-
ant government of the worst and
most brutal kind!
Yes, we know you and the Chi
nese people know you. We know
that you are not ignorant of the
true nature Of the Marking govern
ment. You endorse it not despite
its anti-worker- peasant and its
white terrorist character, but pre-
