I1Pance OF the Kuonintang party
and its Marking government.
Traperialist press dispatches, ad-
uniting the demonstrations, attempt
to pass them off as a celebration of
false report of victory by the
retreating Nineteenth Route Army
over the japanese invaders. A Shang-
hal dispatch to the New York Times
states:
For Two hours last night the
International Settlement and the
French Concession faced acute
danger OF a Communist rising
under cover of 8 celebration of

Masses.
The anti-iniperiaIst nature OF the
demonstration at Shanghai is clear
" seen ia this admission and in the
additional statement that ian ap-
parently preaTr&nged barrage Of large
and small firecrackers was set of.

yolver and rifle shots. Immediately

and extra police, solder and sailor
guards occupied the streets"
