IImperialist Powers Aid
,Japan's Drive in China
AS Move Against Soviets

, believe in keeping the Chinese
( people in servility and all are bent
upon stamping out Communism,
and they cooperate, in their snarchic
way, towards this end.
Prepares Anti Soviet War
For this reason, despite the over
whelmingly strong feeling against
japanese imperialism throughout
China, Chang Kai-Shek is con-
sciously preparing war against the
Soviet Union under Japan's direc-
ton. 1t is by no means accidental
that leading Kuomintang circles are
already echoing the japanese prop
uganda that China should draw
closer to Japan because of the kin
ship in language and culture. There
is every reason to believe that the
Kuomintang will fight on the side
Of Japanese imperialism in attack
ing the Soviet Union.
The fact that Chang Kai-Shek is
able, repeatedly, to renew his anti
Communist campaign after having
been routed five times by the
Chinese Red Army is largely, if not
entirely, due to the support he re-
ceiyed from the imperialists. 1t is
no reinstatement to say that had
Chang Kai-Shek been left entirely
to his own resources, he would Ger
tainly be wiped out by the Red
Army, perhaps in less than a month.
In other words, if the imperialists
were forced to withdraw their adj
yisers and to stop loans, ammuni-
tons, and airplanes to China,
China would be Soyietized in a
short time. The overwhelming ma
jority of the people of China hate
the militarist Kuomintang regime
like poison and are sympathetic to
the Soviet movement. The socio-
economic program of Soviet China
has already been sufficiently car
ried out to set an example and
show to the masses what a Soviet
lied China would be like. Not a
programme on paper, but concrete
life in Soviet China, is pointing the
Kuomintang China. The only thing
that is holding back these hundreds
of millions from turning their mis-
cradle homes into happy land of
Soyiets is the white terror and anti
Soviet campaigns maintained with
the help of imperialist subsidies in
the form of loans, airplanes and
ammunitions bought on long-term
credit.
Must Fight Imperialist Plans
1t is up to the workers and farm
ers and other sympathizers in i'm
perialist countries, especially Amer
lean imperialism, which is the main
support of Chang Kai-Shek, to do
their part in stopping this imperial
ist intervention in China and de-
priye the Chinese landlords and
comprodore (native AGENT capital
lists of the main support which
keeps them in power. In doing this,
the American workers and farmers
are not only helping the Chinese
people, but are also helping them
selves. The loans with which their
imperialiSt government is subsidiz-
ing Chang Kai-Shek, for the bene-
fit of Wall Street interests in China,
come from the pockets of the Amer
lean people. BY stopping such loans
by mass pressure, American friends
of the Chinese people are not only
depriving Chang Kai-Shek of the
money to finance his terrorist cam
paigns, but are also tightening their
own financial burdens. Further
more, the only way to stop the cap
italists of America from using the
low living standards of oriental
workers to lower the wage scale in
this country, is to help the Chinese
workers to raise their own living
standards and defeat the tactics Of
capitalists, to set the workers of one
nationality against those of another
nationality for their own profit. The
only guarantee for an ever increas-
ingly higher standard of living of
the Chinese workers and farmers
is Soviet China, China governed
by the workers and farmers of
China and dedicated to the cause
of the workers and farmers and
oppressed people throughout the
world. By rallying to the support
of Soviet China and the Chinese
peoples struggle for liberation, the
American workers and farmers and
sympathizers are defending their
own interests! You can share by:
demanding the withdrawal of
imperialist armies and naval forces,
aviation pilots, military and f1nan-
cial advisers from China;
2-Helping to stop the granting of
loans and shipment of munitions
and airplanes to China.
