The people must take out these
weapons in case the authorities re-
fuse to surrender them. OF course
arms and ammunitions may be inn
ported from abroad, if need be.
a Financing the war against
Japan. The question of finance
must be Immediately solved on the
following lines:
First and foremost, confiscate all
Japan csc enterprises in China
Cbanks, factories, railways, steam
boats, mines and wares Of japanese
origin which amount to $4,000
100000 Chinese currency at the
preent rate of exchange. Stop pay
ment on Japanese loans Ca big sum,
too. Confiscate the property Of all
traitors. Use all revenue for financ-
ing the war. Collect q progressive
tax on property. Collect money
from Chinese both within and
without the country, also from for
eign syn1pathiers.
These measures, if enforced, will
produce enough revenue for financ-
ing the war, at least in the first
stage. Other measures may be de-
vised later on to yield more
revenues.
Council To Direct War
81 The national council of the
Chinese people for armed self
defense elected by the delegates of
workers, peasants, soldiers, students,
merchants.
This council is the supreme
organ directing all activities con-
nected with the national war
against Japan. Membership of the
council consists Of delegates chosen
by public bodies (anti- Jajanese as
sociations and volunteers at the
mass meeting or congress. Pro-
vincial councils all the way down to
the villages are respectively chosen
by Japanese associations in the
province, etc. Anti-Japanese sub
associations and volunteers shall be
organized in the factories, villages,
mines, steamboats,, barracks, shops,
schools, railways, etc. The national
council has full power to settle all
affairs connected with the move
ment for armed self-defense.
Uuity with Japan's Victims
81 Alliance with all enemies of
japanese Imperialism. In this re-
gard we must first of all ally our
selves with the Koreans, For
moseans Mongolians, natives of the
islands under Japanese mandate
and all other nationalities OPP
pressed by japanese imperialism. In
the same way we must join hands
with the revolutionary workers,
peasants, soldiers and intellectuals
who carry on heroic struggle against
the Mikado and Japanese impe-
rialism, to the end that we may
crush our common enemy by con-
certed action.
At the same time we proclaim to
the whole world that we regard as
the friends of the Chinese nation
those countries or nations which
maintain a sympathetic attitudc, or
observe a friendly neutrality, or
even give a helping hand vis-a-vis
the anti-Japanese war waged by the
Chinese people, whereas those ma
tons or countries which assist
Japanese imperialism in the fight
against China or in imitation of
Japanese robbers grab Chinese ter
ritory in a scramble are certainly
to be considered as comrades of
japanese imperialism and as en-
emies of the Chinese people.
We have the unflinciling belief
that the enforcement of the pro-
gram just enunciated assures us the
possibility of staving off further
Japanese attacks and recovering all
lost territories in Manchuria, Jehol
Chahar, etc, but results in the COM
plete wreckage of all Japanese i'm
perialist influences in China.
