Sun Yat Sen, widow of Sun Yat Sen, in which she attacks the traitors to the revolution and points out that the only road to triumph leads thru the winning of power by the workers and peasants. It is in full as foll (Special To The DAILY WORKER.) | ¢ (By | HANKOW, China, July 16 Mail).—A tremendous political sen tion was caused by the declarati on} ued here by Mrs. Sun Yat-sen, ¢ ing upon officials of the Racine government and upon party members thruout China and the world to re- main steadfast in the revolutionary {faith of the late founder of the Na- |tionalist Party. The declaration, which challenges the tendency towards reaction in the government and party w made |publie just on the eve of Mrs. Sun’s | withdrawal from the Wuhan govern- ment, of which she has been an im- portant member, and her kage her home in Shanghai. It was publisked several local | Chinese papers, all of;which were im- | mediately thereafter suppressed or “reorganized.” The correspondents here broadcasted the message to the It was published thruout China in both Chinese: and English- language papers. Chinese papers in territory controlled by Chiang Kai- shih were also forbidden:to print the declaration because of its implied |eriticism of the reactionary tenden- \cies of his regime. Those few papers which printed it, notwithstanding this order, likewise were suppressed. Visioned Change of Power. In plain words she states;that Sun Yat-sen envisaged a revolution which should bring about improvements in the lot of the peasants and} workers | of China, not one which should mere- ly bring about a transfer of¥political power, Her clear-cut delineation’ of the real. significance of her late hus- band’s policies has already resulted in a mass of articles and speeches by Kuomintang leaders aimed at clarify- ing their own stand toward the revo- lution. It has also had a tremendous repercussion amengst trade unions and peasant organizations, astwell as amongst many Kuomintang locals, most of which have adopted resolu- tions on the declaration, giving it their wholehearted support. The Declaration In Full. The declaration in full follows: “T feel that it is mecessary at this time to explain as a member of the Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang that we have reached a point where definition is necessary and where some members of the par- ty executive are so defining the prin- ciples and policies of Dr. Sun Yat-sen that they seem to me to do violence to Dr. Sun’s ideas and ideals. Feel- ing thus, I must dissociate myself from active participation in the car- rying out ofthese new policies of the party. “Today we face a erisis and we must probe searchingly into funda- mental questions for fundamental answers. We must answer the ques- tions of the nature of revolution in general, of the Chinese revolution in particular, whether it is to be a mere political or a social revolution, and what changes are involved. “In the last analysis, all revolu- tions must be social revolutions, — based upon fundamental changes in society; otherwise it is not a revolu- tion, but merely a change of govern- ment. “To guide us in the Chinese revolu- | tion, Dr. Sun has given us his Three Principles and his Three Policies.
