of the Kuomintang to carry out It's
demagogic promises to the masses
He says: T@
'Tn China, even with the small
group which ousted General Chang
Kai-Shek's regime, little cause Is
found for New Years celebrations,
for all the promises with which 1891
opened were disappointed, and 1882
designed with tragic prospects,
among which Manchuria's status
is not the gravest cause Of depres-
sion."
He briefly refers to the abandon
ment Of the fake gesture for abolition
by JAN. 1, Of the extract ernto1ality
treaties. He admits that all Of the
unfair treaties forced upon China,
with the cooperation Of the Chinese
mintarists, are still in force:
~Thesc plans, except for the con-
ditional treaty revisions, were frus-
trated by internal Developments,
beginning with the Cantonese re-
bellion and secession, the abandon
Daent of the anti Communist Cam
paign without definite conclusion,
the Yangtze floods which ruined
50,000,000 homes, and now the gene
raj breakdown of governmental
authority with an alarming revival
of Communism.
"The spread Of Communism is
facilitated by the poverty and mis-
cry resulting from the floods"
Kuomintang Responsible for Flood
Disaster
AS in the case Of the seli-out in
Manchuria. the Kuon1intang is direc-
thy responsible for the huge toll Of
ills and misery and irnpoverishment
of the toiling masses by the flood dis
aster. 1t was the failure Of the
Kuomintang to repair the dykes and
canals and to take other steps for
flood control that caused the appal-
ing loss of life and the destruction
of the homes Of tens Of millions OF
peasants.
Abend admits that even among the
Of the Kuomintang there
is a growing conviction that China
was betrayed in the Manchurian
seizure and that "the party has not
performed even a small fraction of
the program of regeneration asd re-
construction confidently announced
under DR.. Sun Yat-Sen's three prin-
ciples when the country was tempo
rary unified by force three and half
years ago with the capture of Peiping
and Tientsin and the hosting Of the
flag over Manchuria."
Japan Admit Aim To Hold Manchuria
In the same dispatch, Abend re-
ports that Japanese official circles in
Darien have openly admitted that
Japan intends to hold Manchuria.
This Is in line with past admissions
in the irnperialist press that Man
churia was to be converted by the
Japanese into an armed base against
the Soviet Union. 1t Is on this basis
that the United States, which Is the
leader In the anti-Soviet front, Is
actively and passively supporting the
Japanese agressions in Manchuria. IT
is on this basis the the League Of
Council has legalized the
Japanese seizure and looting Of Man
churia, Abend reports:
"Official Japanese circles have
long since abandoned any pretense
that the military campaign in Man
churia Is derected merely at the eli
mination Of banditry. An altogether
open attitude reveals complete de-
termination to eliminate from Man.
churia the last vestiges Of any Chi
nese authority except that set mp

With mass anger surging through
out China as result Of the with
drawal Of the Marking troops from

'ionary government is pretending that
