the request Of the Marking Govern
~'ent. It's purposes is to give the
Nanking Government an excuse that it
was forced to withdraw its troops be-
fore the threat of force.
Workers, Students Plan New
Invasion OF Marking
The Japanese estimate the strength
Of the partisan forces fighting them
at $4,000. While most Of the partisan
bands started with only few hun
dred men, several of these bands
have now grown to several thousand
as a result Of the rising resistance OF
the Manchurian masses, inspired by
the anti-imperialist upsurge of the
masses in China proper and the
growing strength Of the Central
Chinese Soviet Government and the
Chinese Red Army.
Plans Of students and workers In
Chinese cities for another invasion of
Marking have frightened the united
front government of the Canton and
Marking traitors. The Kuomintang
convention, scheduled to open yester-
day, has been postponed on We'd
nesday. Il. v. Soong, Finance Min
lister, has resigned.
The Japanese government yester-
day answered the renewed protests
by the United States against It's
southwark drive with the intimation
that the protest would be considered
"unfriendly' If its aim was to main
tain Marking in control of Chinchow
This yelled threat against the
American Imperialism shows that
the imperialists have sharpened
the imperialist rivaIries have sharp
pened tremendously.
japanese Speculation Make Millions
on Fall 0fYen
The Japanese economic and finan-
cial crisis was further aggravated by
heavy losses due to buying of dollars
by SPECTATORS. Japanese newspapers
accuse former Finance Minister
Inouys OF Understanding the extent
Of dollar speculation when he put the
total at $167000,000. 1t is claimed
that the amount is over $225, 000, 900.
AS result the Yokohoma Specie
Bank, which controls the dealings in
exchange, stands to lose another
$12,0o0,0o0 through the purchase of
gold with yen to cover these trans
actions. The loss will be larger II
the yen continues its downward
trend.
The Yokohoma institution is COW
cred in the transaction by guaran-
tee given by the Bank Of Japan, and
the government will have to meet the
loss. This it will do with increased
initiation and taxation which will
further intensity the sufferings of
the toiling masses at the very time
that the SPECTATORS are cleaning UP
huge fortunes.
Declaring that Kuomintang had
degenerated into a counter-revolu-
tionary instrument OF horrible op-
preston" against the Chinese masses,
Madame Sun Yat-Sen, widow Of the
founder Of the Kuomintang party,
scathingly attacks both the Canton
and Marking wings Of the Kuomin-
tang. In an interview to the i'm
perialist press she denounces the
leaders OF both wings as tools of the
inperialists and the peoples worst
enemies. Madame Sun says:
SIT Is now undeniable that the
Kuomintang has lost its position as
the country's revolutionary party.
The party's destroyers, far from be-
ing external enemies, are its own
leaders. When Sun Yat-sen died in
1925 our party lost its guide.
fortunately, however, the Canton
ese leaders at that time we're able to
carry on the founders policies suffi-
GENTLY to carry out the northern
punitive expedition, bringing the
Yangtse Valley under the party's
rule. But since the Nankin- Hankow
party split. in 1927. due to Chang
Kai-shek's personal dictatorship and
rivalry between the militarists, the
party and the people have become in
creasingly separated.
Kuomintang Leaders Preyed
On Masses.
Corruption and chicanery have
reached high degree. Those in the
central government have occupied
key positions and fattened their
pockets, while those in the local gov
ernments have preyed upon the de-
fenseless people. They have made
their friends happy but the people
miserable. OpportuIlists have found
positionS with the remnant Of the
