| CHANG KAI-SHEK'S main
" worry these days is to
keep the mass Indignation in
I China against Japanese i'm.
perialism's invasion of Chahar
and other parts OF North China
from interfering with his anti-Red
war. There is nothing so demoral-
ling to the soldiers in the Kuon1in-
tang armies than to hear of jan
anese troops killing their brothers
in the North while they themselves
are forced to kill their own BROTH
ers in the Red Army whose main
objective is to drive out the jan
anese imperialist invaders.
Besides, it becomes clearer and
clearer to the Chinese people that
what the Communist Party of
China said when the Tangku agree
ment was made last year between
Chang Kai Shek and the Japanese
government is absolutely true. Then
the Communist Party of China de-
clared Chang Kai Shek was selling
north China to Japan in return
Tor support against the Red Army
of China.
RUT in this situation we in the
- United States have an important
task which become one of the ma ior
factors in either the speedy victory
OF the Red Army of China or a pro-
longed and costly battle of the
Chinese Soviets.
We want to quote a message to
all Communists, all anti -imperial-
ISIS, all friends of China by Wan
MN one Of the leaders of the
Chinese Communist PARTY. This
message appears in the most brill
llant article yet written on the sit
uation in China ("The Struggle Of
the Chinese Red Army" Commu-
mist international No. 1, Jan. s..
1885, obtainable from Workers Lii
brary Publishers, P. o. Box 148.

rade Wan Min writes:
One of the major reasons ex-
planning the drawn out character
OF the armed struggle between
revolution and conference.-the
in China in general and of the
struggle of the Red Army against
the Sixth Drive in particular, is
the weakness and the almost COM
plete absence of real, direct aid
on the part of the proIetariat and
of our fraternal Parties in the
tmperialist countries. The inter-
national imperialiSts are the main
enemies of the Chinese Reyolu-
ton and the organizers of Chang
Kai-Shek's continuous anti-So-
Wet military campaigns. 1t is
therefore clear that effective and
direct support Of the struggle of
the Chinese Red Army and of the
Soviets on the part of the pro-
ietariat and of our fraternaI
Parties in the leading capitalist
countries is of first rate impor-
lance.
the American, japanese, Brit
ish, German, Italian and
French workers came out under
the banner of the united front of
the working class and by means
OF a serious mass struggle STRIKES,
demonstrations, etc. would com
pei the imperialist governments
to stop their issuing of military
and mon military" loans to the
Chinese miIitarists, if they would
compel the imperialists to recall
their military advisers and spe-
cialists from China, if the work.
ers would succeed in stopping the
transport Of ammunition, poison
gas, and airplanes to China, then
the Sixth Drive would undoubted-
ly have long been ended by a
complete victory over Chang Kali
Shek. However, up till now all of
this remains only good intentions
On the part of our fraternaI
Parties. And it is precisely in this,
i.e., in the support by the in-
perialists, that Chang Kai-Shek
draws his main support.
"On this question the Commu-
mist Party of China and the Red
Army have on more than one oc-
casion approached their class
brothers. They asked that the
fraternal Communist Parties in
the first place impress upon the
minds of the workers that the
struggle against the imperiaIists
carried on by the Chinese Red
Army under the leadership of the
Communist Party is an integral
part Of their own evF-yday sf~-!p-
gle with their employers. Our
fraternal Parties in the CAPITALIST
countries must explain to the
masses that the victory of the
working class over the bourgeoisie
can be achieved only under the
condition that alongside of the
militant united front of the work.
ing class there will be established
militant unity of the proletariat
and of its allies, i.e., the unity of
the tcilers Of the capitalist coun-
tries with the toilerS of the COLI
onie5 and semi-colonies. The pro-
letariat Of the imperialists coun-
tries must realize that in render
ing direct support to the Chinese
Red Army it is thus helping its
own struggle against imperialist
war, fascism and capitalist ex-
ploitation. We not only hope, we
are convinced that the proletariat
and suppressed peoples OF all
countries will in the future show
in practice the significance of real
revolutionary international solid
arity by supporting the heroic
struggle of the Chinese Red Army
! and of the Chinese Soviets."
