PLANS
TO WADE
INNER CHINA
CONTINUED FROM PAGE one,

threaten not only the Chinese revo-
luton but the loot of the other I'M
perialist powers in Inner China. This
being the case, a Japanese invasion
Of Inner China is certain to be only
part Of a general invasion by all the
imperialist vultures for the redivision
Of loot and the complete partition of
China. In view Of the rapidly pro-
ceeding disintegration of the Kuo-
nintang and the rise of a powerful
mass revolutionary movement under
the leadership of the Chinese Com
n1unist Party, the irnperialists may be
expected to mack such an attack at
any moment, unless prevented by the
vigilance and militant resistance of
the workers in the imperialist coun-
tries.
The workers Of the whole world are
faced with the immediate task of
defending the Chinese Revolution and
the Soviet Union and of smashing
the plots of the imperialiSts to throw
the workers into another and blood
Ter world slaughter as prelude for
further Slashing attacks on the living
standards Of the working class.
ISLANDERS Betrayal by Kuomintang.
The strategic city of Chinchow was
surrendered by the Kuonintang trail
tors with out the slightest resistance.
In their attempt to stem the furious
anger of the Chinese masses against
this shameful betrayal, the Kuomin-
tang misleaders are each attempting
to shift the blame to the other.
Eugene Chen, representing the doni-
nat Canton group in the new counter
revolutionary Marking government
has accused Marshall Chang Hsuelt-
lang of disobeying orders in turning
over Chinchow to the japanese.
Chang accuses the Marking govern
ment of failing to furnish him with
ammunition for the defense. The
only resistance to the Japanese oc-
cupation Of Chinchow came from the
Chinese workers who occupied the
roofs of the houses and sniped at the
Japanese troops as they entered the
city. 1t was also, only the partisan
troops Of workers, peasants and dis
banded soldiers who put UP any re-
Sistance to the Japanese advance on
the city. These troops severely ham
pered the japanese advance, har-
RAISING the invaders throughout the
entire advance.
Never Intended TO Defend Chinchow.
Proof of the shameful completely of
the Kuomintang traitors in the par
tition of China is contained in a dis
patch from the New York Times
Tokyo correspondent. The dispatch
states:
Across the falling River the
Chinese had constructed an elabo-
rate system of trenches and gun
positions, but 4 witness who has
Just returned from Manchur1a SAYS
the trenches were only knee-deep.
The Chinese did not attempt to de-
fend them"
The dispatch also cites the lying
claim of Chang Hsueh-liang that his
munition supplies were used up in
big battle for Kaopangtze and that
this left him with no alternative but
to withdraw from Chinchow. The
dispatch adds
Gas this battle never occurred,
Marshal Changes story apparently
is intended to clear him of the
charge of giving mp Chinchow
without a struggle
Psrtisans Continue Harass Invaders
The mass fight against the parti-
ton Of China and the treachery of
the Kuomintang is growing The
same dispatch states that large bands
of partisanS continue to harry that
region along the railroad to Ant,lng.
