Calls for More Terror Against Chi

The present armed intervention
must be extended, China must be
partitioned, the pamphlet declares
at the same time peddling the hy-
pocrisy that dismemberment of China
will achieve unity:
Intervention, by recognition of the
realities may be the only way left
open to save China from splitting
up into a cOngery OF small Soviet
republics tied TO MOscow's leading
strings. The battle ground of Com
munism for control of the world is
definitely fixed in China. >.
Only by the creation of at least
four or five distinct compact states
can the danger be now averted.
Recognition of the realities is not

ger,Kuomintang Tools Failed-Di-
rect Intervention Now Necessary
But even with the full bacing OF
imperialism, its Kuomintang tools
have found it impossible to crush the
national revolutionary struggles Of
the toiling masses. Direct armed in
tervention by the imperialists is now
necessary to save the loot of the i'm
perialists in China, to effect" the
salvation of dying world capitalism
Japan has recognized this necessity

"a prOlOngatiOn of the present
depression with its attendant hun
ger, cold, and privation may drive
these people to desperation; to the
point where, like their felIOw-coun-
trymen in the Yangtze Valley, they
also will take to the field in arms
against their Oppressors."
The masses throughout China are
turning to the revolutionary way out
of their misery. "rThe Soviet philoso-
ply has permeated all Of Central
Asia" The glorious victories and
achievements of the working class in
the Soviet Union are showing the
oppressed masses of China the new
capitalist road of development.
Under the old regime, the peas
ants of Russia were slaves of the
landowners, toiling from cradle to
the grave to maintain in idleness
and luxury ruling caste that Op-
posed any and every program for
reform. When the opportunity
came, the serfs rose against their
oppressors and re-enacted the trag-
edy of the French Revolution. The
old system has disappeared. Pri-
vate property is abolished. The land
Is parcelled out in cooperative
farms held In common for the COM
mon good. The Soviet philosophy
has permeated all of Central Asia.
Mongolia is now part Of the Soviet
system. Chinese Turkestan is wholly
dependent upon the Soviet for its
economic existence. Communist
propaganda Is undermining the al
legiance of the people to their Chi
nese overlords, and with the
strengthening of Soviet trade ties,
this region with its immense min
eral and oil deposits, will slip au-
tomatically into the Soviet system.
Chimes inability to assert her
authority over these distant bor-
der provinces, coupled with the
graft, corruption. ineptitudc and
tyranny of the Chinese (Kuomin-

for the triumph Of Communism,
Mongolia, Sinkiang, the Barga Re
gion, a large part Of Tibet and
slice out of Kirin in the Ussuri dis
trict are practically lost TO (Kuo-
mintang) China. No treaty of peace
and commerce; no understanding
between Moscow and Mukden can
check the relentless march of the
Soviet in these regions"
"Chinese officialdom may deIude
itself and the world into believing
that Moscow is responsible for the
present tragedy (the growth of the
powerful Soviet districts which is
a tragedy-to imperialism.-C. b.
in the Yangtze Valley, but those
who have an intimate knowledge
of China's internal affairs know
this to be false. The truth about
conditions in China is eloquently
revealed in Chang Kai-shek's
wrathfuI and denunciatory ar
raignment of the system he him
self is responsible for fastening
upon the people by force Of arms"
