Another Shanghai dispatch gives
yet another vivid picture Of the ruth
less and deliberate terror launched
by the Japanese against the Chimes
masses. 1t states:
''The dead, the unconcern at mass
killings; the terrific cannonade
coming from batteries of eight-inch
guns; the futiilty of the defenseless
as their homes and barns were
burned we're part of the picture of
this new war zone, which / wit
messed today. China fought back
in gallant Effort to stop the big
push which started with the dawn.
"The Japanese army marched ON.
They shelIed mercilessly in their
attack. Fields were trampled.
Homes and barns were destroyed.
"0nce / saw a defenseIess Chinese
farmer thrown into an icy cold
creek. tried to rescue him and
failed"
Incendiary bombs were used by the
japanese planes to set fire to work
ing elias districts outside of the direct
war zone. Streams of Chinese re-
fugees fleeing from the blazing dis
tricts we're deliberately bombed by
the Japanese planes. In many in
stances refuge crowds were raked with
machine guns by Japanese troops.
Workers, including women with babies
in their arms, were brutally shot down
and torn to shreds by the invaders.
This deliberate terror is aimed at
crushing the revolutionary national
struggle Of the Chinese masses. The
Chinese worker-peaSant masses have
repudiated the Marking Kuomintang
government and it's traitorous CO.
operation with the imperialists. Every
day sees new sections of the Chinese
mass responding to the leadership of
the Chinese Communist Party in the
fight against the imperialsts.
Workers of America! Take your
place in the front ranks of the in
ternational working class struggle
to stop the imperialist butchery of
the Chinese masses! Stop the rob-
Der war against China! Rally TO the
struggle against imperiaIist war!
Join and build the Communist
Party of the United States, the
leader in the fight against imperial
list war. Demand Hands off China!
Hands off the Soviet Union. De-
mand the withdrawal Of all Inn
perialist armed forces from Man
churia and other parts of China!
Demand the deportation of the
Japanese diplomatic representa-
tives, the agents of the murderous
imperialist government Of Japan
which is sIaughtering the Chinese
workers and peasants! Prevent the
export of arms and munitions to
the Japanese imperialists,
While the League of Nations con-
tinues to declare that the wholesale
butchery of Chinese workers is not
war, inlperialist press dispatches yes
terday admitted that the battle now
raging in Shanghai is the greatest
battle since the last World War.
Fighting with poor equipment as
a result of the treachery of the Nam
king government, the defense OF
Shanghai are putting up the most
heroic resistance against the tremen-
dous armament of the japanese. The
village of Kiangwan, the main i'm
objective Of the Japanese in
vaders, changed hands three time on
Saturday. II is reported still &C.
oupied by the Chinese. Chinese SOL
diers by desperate fighting, drove the
Japanese out Of the village time and
again.
-Four Japanese tanks we're destroyed
by exploding mines on Saturday. Two
Japanese bombing planes we're
brought down by anti-aircraft guns.
No Chinese planes took the air to
combat the japanese planes.
The Marking government has a
large fleet of airshipS and hundreds
of trained pilots and mechanics.

Dictatorship and the role OF the
