Wolfe pointed out the divisions in the im- perialist ranks in relation to their policy towards China and why Amer- lea is now following the same path in that country as England, “America is not in favor of a policy of complete intervention at the pres- ont time,” asserted Wolfe, “but if the Chinese massés continue to go to the left and gain control of the entire country, endangering imperialism, then, the United States will reverse its policy and come. out in favor of! complete intervention.” The steady advance of the armies | of the Hankow government was men- | tioned by Wolfe. He told the as-| sembled workers that Chiang Kai-! shek was only pretending to fight against the northern warlords at the present time. i Wolfe emphasized the importance of the Peking and London raids as reflecting the policy of England to | * solate the Soviet Union.
