Grover Clark and Edward Hunter,
Americans, which illustrates how
far Chang Hsia-liang, former Gov
ernor of Manchuria, is ready to go
to ingratiate himself with the
japanese despite their ousting of
him from office"
The dispatch tells of the suppress
sion of the Pieping Leader by Mar
shall Chang for the publication of
articles "disrespectful" to the Japa-
nese. The dispatch says:
Chang -Iiang not only
apologized but personally called at
the japanese Legation and ex-
pressed regrets"
Chinese Masses Push Fight
Against Traitors.
The Chinese masses are answering
the treachery of the Kuomintang
with rising resistance against the
Kuomintang and their imperialist
masters, and with steady leftward
trend toward Communist leadership.
At Shanghai, the rising revolutionary
wave is SO great that the foreign i'm
perialists are forced to consider the
removal of their nationals from that
city. In scores of cities in the
Yangtze aVlley the missionary and
commercial agents of imperialism
have been already removed. In Han
kow, Ichang and other cities the rev.
dictionary mood of the masses is so
strong that the Kuomintang mill
tarists have been forced into open
alliance with the apanese and other
imperialists in attacking the anti
imperialist struggles of the masses.
This is serving further to undermine
the influence Of the uomintang trait
ors.
Chinese workers in Shanghai went
on strike yesterday against the Mark
Moody Federal, Inc, an American
company, in protest against the sale
by the company of automobiles and
trucks to the Japanese army.
U. S., British Lead Fake Peace"
Move.
A peace" move was engineered
yesterday by the United States, Brit
ish and French ministers to China,
who met with Japanese officials and
the Kuomintang gang in Shanghai.
The move was initiated at the re-
quest Of the Japanese. 1t is plainly
intended to save the face of the
Japanese, whose military prestige has
suffered severely at the hands of the
embattled masses of Shanghai. The
move is aimed to help the Japanese
extricate themselves from an increas-
ingly difficult position and to head
off the rising revolutionary struggles
of the Chinese masses, which have
gained tremendous impetus as re-
suit of the japanese invasion. If
successful, the move will also free
Japanese forces for use against the
revolutionary masses in Manchuria
and for the planned attack on the
Soviet Union. Moreover, United
States and British imperialists have
been greatly concerned over the ire
mendous number of Japanese troops
within their sphere of influence"
endangering their own loot.
The Japanese demand the with
drawal of the Shanghai defense
forces to 1919 miles from the Inter
national Settlement, which has been
used by the Japanese as a military
base for their attacks on the Chi
nese masses. The Japanese promise
in return to withdraw their forces "a
certain distance" The Japanese de-
mands raise once more the question
OF putting Shanghai and large sur
rounding district, including several
nearby Chinese towns, under inter
national control of the imperialist
brigands.
Sees KuomintaDg Unable TO Deliver.
A Shanghai imperialist dispatch
expresses grave doubt of the ability
of the Kuomintang leaders to deliver
the goods in this brazen betrayal of
China "in view of the excited condi-
ton OF Chinese public opinion"
The League of Nations is taking a
hand in supervising the new sell-out
OF China. A Geneva dispatch states:
"Sir John Simon, British Foreign
Secretary, today assumed leader
ship Of League of Nations Move
ment to induce China to accent
Japans latest terms for truce at
Shanghai"
Chinese bankers and merchants
are supporting the movement to be-
tray the defense of Shanghai and
turn over the city to the interna-
tional imperialist bandits.
Indicating the sincerity" of the
peace" terms put forth at their in
stigation, the Japanese are continu-
ing to land thousands of troops at
Shanghai. These troops are being
landed in the International Settle
