agreements with Japan orom 1907 to 1915.
Moreover. the Soviet Government offered to
start negotiations for the return to the Chinese
people Of all and everything taken from them
by the Cars Government, independently o.
jointly with the Japanese and the AllieS
THE negotiations ON Ehis question wers
carried on until March, 1918. Then, suddenly,
the Allies seized the Picking Government by the
throat bought the Peking mandarins and the
Chinese press with gold and forced the Chinese
Government to refrain from any further rela-
tons with the Russian Government Of Workers
and Peasants, .-.s ..
without waiting the return Of the Man~
Churian railroad to the Chinese people, JAPAN
AND THE ALLIES SEIZED IT THEMSELVES,
INVADED SIBERIA. AND EVEN FORCED
THE CHINESE TROOPS TO ASSIST THEM
IN THAT CRIMINAL AND UNPRECE-
DENTED THEFT And the Chinese workers
and peasants were not even able 10 learn the
true reasons why the raid Of the American,
European and Japanese rayishers of A5snchuris
and Siberia occurred"
Thus, workers, it is clear to you that the first
attempt of the Soviet Union to give over to the
Chinese people not only the political privileges
seized by the Gear. but the mere physical prop
perialist robbers OF Japan, Europe and Arneris
selling everything themselves. Indeed, they held
it from 1919 till 1922, with the American engineer
Stevens acting as manager. And then they gave
it up only because the japanese and the AM
erican imperiansts were quarreling over which
should have this loot and neither thief was
strong enough to defy the other.
And thus also, when on May 81, 1924, the
ooT fna
signed treaty OF equality, reciprocity and JUS
tice" doing away with the old robber treaty"
of the Gar Of 1896, Article Ten Of the new
treaty read as follows:
'eThe Government Of the o. s. 8. n. agrees
to renounce the special rights and privileges
relating TO all concessions in any part Of China
acquired by the Cgarist Government. The Gov
eminent Of the U. S. S. r. and the Govern
ment of China jointly declare that It Il under
stood that the Government Of China viii not
transfer either in part or In whole to any Third
Power any foreign organization the special
rights and privileges renowned by the Gov
eminent of the U. S. S. r. The governments
of the two contracting parties agree that the
Chinese Eastern Railway is purely CONNER
call enterprise All matters relating TO
civil administration, military administration,
police, municipal government taxation and
Chinese authorities The Governments Of The
two contracting parts mutually agree that the
future of the Chinese Eastern Railway shall be
determined by the U. S. S. X. and the Republic
of China, 70 the exclusion Of any third party Ok
parties"
1t is this treaty-wnich in addition gave China
half the control and half the profits Of this
railway-that Japanese Imperialism, with the
RI Net
powers is again trying TO upset by armed inva-
sion Of Manchuria and impudent seizure through
the miserable government" OF pu VI, Of the
entire Chinese Eastern Railway.
Japan wants the railway not only because it Is
most valuable piece Of loot, but because it may
also serve to transport troops to attack the Soviet
frontier-as Japan intends to seize not only
Manchuria. but also all of Soviet Siberia as far
west as Lake Baikal
And hence the vilenesS Of the socialists" who,
at the very moment in which Japanese imper-
ialism is openly stealing the Chinese Eastern
Railway and just as openly preparing to make
war against the Soviet Union. come forward to
aid the imperialst robbers by virtually demand
ing that the Soviet Government should make
Japan present OF the railway and invite Jap
anese generals TO use It 10 transport troops
against the Soviet border.
Workers! Expose the lies OF these socialist
meters of war against the Soviet Union! Defeat
the war plots Of the imperialists and their
socialist" servants! Defend the Chinese people
and protect the Soviet Union-and defend
yourselves against massacre and death Of q new
world warl Organize mass snti-war demonstra-
tons for May First! Above all, organize every
where to prevent shipments Of munitions TO
Japan! Act while action counts!
