Theimperialists are pushing their
war of joint intervention against the
Chinese Revolution into the heart of
China. American, japanese and
British warships are already operat-

Red Army A Washington dispatch
gives the lie of the imperialists
Military opinion here is that
the Japanese plan provides for
driving all Chinese troops outside
Shanghai and the use of this port
as a basis for operations in the
event a decision is reached to Oc
cupy the Yangtze Valley to Han

A Shanghai dispatch to the New

This Is an open and sinister
threat against the revolutionary
| Chinese workers and peasants and
their Chinese Soviet Republic and
Red Army.
The events In the Far East are
daily confirming the warnings of
the Communist Party to the work
ing class that the imperialists are
threatening the world proletariat
with another world slaughter for
the re-division of the world, for
the partition of China, for armed
Intervention against the Soviet
Union, where the successful social

ing and national oppression of the
Negro masses, for unemployment
relief and social Insurance.!
In preparation for the drive against
the Chinese Soviet Republic, the
United States and British imperial
lists are removing their missionaries
and commercial agents from Nam

held by the Kuomintang forces,
which in those cities continue to
maintain truce with the Japanese
while the latter are carrying on their
savage attacks on the Shanghai de-
tenders and the .unarmed, helpless
masses in the city.
Mass anti-imperialiSt demonstra-
tons have been prohibited in Nam
