MR.. FRAZIER HUNTS ar

niscent of a report somewhat
along the same line that ape
peared in the monthly bull
letin Of the Hankow Chamber of
Commerce in the summer of 1882.
Both admit tremendous advances
Of the Chinese Soviets. But both
raise the alarm among the imperials

support to General Chang Kai Shek
in order to save China for imperial.

What is more, the capable Mn
Frazier Hunt, experienced world
correspondent for the capitalist
press, goes on to relate a conversa-
ton with an "old China hand" in
which this experienced imperiaIst
says:
Il have been in districts where
the Reds have been in control for
several years, and the peasants and
poor workers are better off there
than in districts under the CEN
trail government. / do not believe
that the Marking authorities can
defeat these Red armies"
IN DRIER diplomatic documents
the Washington, London, Toxic
governments get more detailed re-
ports along the same line. What
do you think the effect is on these
eXploiters of the Chinese people2
They begin to shell out more mill
lions to Chang Kai Shek to fi-
nance the anti Communist war.
When DR.. Alfred SEE, Chinese
ambassador, comes to the U. S.
State Department and tells of the
advancing Red Armies, of the recent
defeat of Chang Kai Shek's crack
troops trained by the Nasi General
Won Seckt, after reading the Lib
erty" article and the pressure it
brings, it is more likely that the
Roosevelt government will increase
its loans" to Marking to save its
colonial grip in China from the
mounting Red tide.
WHEN the Hankow Chamber Of
W Commerce in 1882 issued its
alarming report that Hankow was
like a white island in Red Ssa
about to be swallowed up, it had
an immediate effect. The British
American Tobacco Co., a British
concern, began to donate more mil~
lions to Chang Kai-Shek's anti
Soviet war budget American con-
Germs poured out funds. Roosevelt
later provided a S40,000,000 loan.
More than 100000 men were re-
cruited with Chang Kai Shek's
firm promise that the Red Districts
would be wiped out. Nearly two
years have passed. But Mr.. Hunt
finds it necessary to raise the alarm
still more loudly.
The reason the imperialists have
cause to become panicky over the
| tremendous successes of the Soviet
districts as expressed by the Chair
man of the Central Soviet Govern
ment, Comrade Mao TIE Tung at
the second Soviet Congress held in
Juikin, Kiangsi Province, January
%, 1894
I'm the Soviet territories. inn
perialist privileges have been abol-
ished and imperialist influence
wiped out. Imperialist preachers
and fathers were ousted by the
masses. Estates of the people
siezed by the imperialist missions
aries were returned and mission-
airy schools transformed into So
Wet schools. In short, the Soviet
districts in China alone are iber.
ated from the imper;alist yoke.
These facts point to one thingi
The Soviet is the sole anti-impe-
rialist government. The Soviet
government wants to make known
to the country wide masses: The
greatest responsibility of the So-
Wet and the whole masses Is to
win victory over imperialists by
means Of direct war. The fulfill
ment of this work depends upon
the development of the mass anti
imperialist struggle. First of al,
the lackey of imperialism, the
Kuomintang, should be smashed
became it is the greatest obstacle
on the way before the anti-i i'm
perialist Soviet and masses"
Even though in spite OF all pre-
vious mobilization of world impe-
rialism the Red Armies have been
able to beat back the attacks, to
strengthen the Soviet districts, this
should not lull the workers in this
country to a false sense of security
Of the invincibility of TIE Soviets.
Just as the imperialists arc certain
to answer this alarm with immedi-
