But, the rapacious imperialists of America, England, Japan, and France, the capitalist powers that are holding China in their grip, refuse to accede to the rightful demands of the Chinese people. Foreign imper- ialism is determined to hold on to China by sheer force, by jailing, perse- cution, and wholesale murder. Already many workers and students have been killed by the agents of foreign imperialism in Shanghai, Hanken, Cindaw, and many other places where the Chinese masses have dared to demand the right to their own country. At this very moment the impgpialists of England, and Japan, are carrying on a joint military intervention to subdue the revolt of the Chinese masses. This means war. This means the sacrifice of thous- <ande of people.on the altar of capitalism and imperialiam... It. means more suffering and misery for the masses of England, America, France, and Japan, as well as for the people of China. The situation demands united action of all working class forces in support of the just demands of the Chinese people. The l&bor move- ment of the United States is vitally interested in the success of the strug- gles of the Chinese workers against their capitalist exploiters as well as in the struggles of the Chinese people for national freedom and independence. Realizing the gravity of the situation and the duties that it imposes upon the labor movement of the United States, the All-American, Anti- Imperialist League, the Workers (Communist) Party of America, and the Trade Union Educational League cali upon the trade unions, the socialist party, and all other organizations of workers and poor farmers to Join hands for common action in support of the struggles of the Chinese people. We propose the calling of united front conferences of all labor and other organizations favoring the cause of the Chinese masses to organize and lead this campaign. We propose that all forces of labor, irrespec- tive of political aims or affiliations, join hands for common action in sup- port of the following demands: THE WITHDRAWAL FROM CHINA OF THE IMPERIALISTS AND THEIR ARMED FORCES, THE CANCELLATION OF ALL TREATIES HUMILIATING TO CHINA, AND THE CANCELLATION OF THE EXTRA-TERRITORIAL RIGHTS FOR FOREIGNERS.
