But as a prelude, the young general reiterated the necessity for expelling the imperialists, “Economically, China is practically a market of the imper- ialists,” Chiang said, “In order to re strain the development of our indus- try the imperialists stand back of the Chinese militarists, This is causing the incessant civil wars which give an opportunity for their trade to sur vive, Destroy -Militarism, “Our expedition to the north aims} to destroy militarism and imperialism, establishing a people’s government along the lines of:Sun Yat-sen’s three principles, which paraphrase Abraham | Lincoln’s belief in a ‘government of | the people, by the people, and for the veople.” “Immediately after the military vic tory a people’s conference will be held | for settling @ll thenationai affairs and establishing a government with pow- ers to nullify alliunfair and unequal | treaties and negotiate instead treaties of mutual respect, putting level with all the world powers.
