N° one has as yet “accused” Mme. | Sun of being Communist or bol- |shevik; nor Tang Yen Tah, Both Mme. and Tang Yen Tah have re- signed their posts and quit the Na- | tionalist Government for reasons | which are clearly set forth in declara- | tions issued by them. It is characteristic of the state of mind of the “Saviours of the Revolu- | tion” of the new Hankow regime that the declaration of Mme. Sun was sup- pressed and the “People’s Tribune” of July 17 was confiscated by the mili- authorities because it carried the id statement, What is it that the new masters of Wuhan fear so much in the state- | ment of Mme. Sun? . . Some members of the party Executive are so defining the prin- ciples and policies of Dr. Sun Yat Sen that they seem to me to do vio- lence to Dr. Sun’s ideas and ideals, ... In the last analysis all revolu- tion must be social revolution based upon fundamental changes in so- ciety; otherwise it is not a revolu- tion, but merely a change of government. As to the work- ers’ and _ peasant these classes become the b: of our strength in | our struggle to overthrow Imperial- | ism... and effectively unify the ; country.

At the as away from the policies of Sun Yat Sen. ungil wiser policies prevail. . . | moment I feel that we are turning Therefore’ I must withdraw ” | IME. Sun says in so many plain words that the present policy of} | the Wuhan regime is a direct betrayal volves the class struggle and deep- | ‘going changes in the social structure | and the social relations of the coun- try. This is unpleasant and jarring music to the ears of the reactionaries now in control of Wuhan. ANG YEN TAH, in an article pub- lished in “People’s Tribune” of | July 7, calls for a consistent struggle against reaction. He denounces the | false ery of “excesses” and points to| the necessity of basing the revolution on the masses. In his letter of resignation to the Kuomintang, Tang Yen Tah accuses: ‘many have deserted the three principles... .” He reminds that when Chiang Kai Shek started massacring the workers and pea- sants, he demanded a punitive expedi- |tion against the traitor Chiang. UT now “.. .those who formerly | favored the expedition—now pre- pare for surrender and compromise; those who formerly advocated the full protection of the interests of the workers—haye started to massacre them.” “ He then proceeds to warn that if the anti-labor and anti-peasant policy is continued “the revolutionary sig- nificance of the Kuomintang will be} lost and its power reduced to naught. | The natural result will be that the Kuomintang will itself become counter-revolutionary....” “.. Jf in the expedition against Chiang Kai} Shek we do not attack him from the | standpoint of his feudalistic and} counter-revolutionary actions, but as jan individual, it will become a pri- ‘vate struggle between militarists. . . | ; The consequence will be a failure as in-1910,” It, should be noted that Mme. Sun} and Tang Yen Tah do not stand alone} in their attitude. HE Wuhan Government today, though it still shouts a few hazy! slogans against Chiang Shek, | does not and cannot seriously mean| it, for what on earth distinguishes | |the bestialities and executions of| ; Tang Shen Chi & Co. in Wuhan andj Hanyang from those in Shanghai and! Canton? What difference does it make to| the Chinese worker whether he is | murdered by the militarists in Shang- | hai or in Hankow; by Sun Chuan Fang, Chiang Kai Shek or by the order of Wong Ching Wei or Tang Shen Chi? What differences does it! ;make to the Chinese peasant whether | he is massacred by the Pench ouerisa:) ‘under Chiang Kai Shek in Kiangsi, | Li Chi Hsin in Kwangtung or Tang Shen Chi in Hunan... (we shall therefore not be at all surprised if we hear very soon of a happy reunion | working class. of Wuhan and Nanking, of Wong Ching Wei and Chiang Kai Shek.) (This has now taken place. Chiang igned” to save Wong Ching Wei's face—W. F. D.) Pee Ns. upon the resignation of Mme.

He is a true proletarian and famous for his splendid leader- ship of the seamen in the Canton- Hongkong strike. He is a member of the Pan-Pacific Trade Union Secre-| tariat, and he delivered the report on/ the situation of the Chinese Labor| Movement at the Pan-Pacific Trade Union Conference. | The Wuhan Government has already issued a warrant for his arrest and | the arrest of Li-Li-San, Secretary of | the ACLF. E have before us the draft of vari-| out labor laws worked out by Sou! Chao Ging, which were.stranded and | pigeonholed by the Kuomintang Exec- utive. “A new Labor Ministry has been set up, and what do we hear} from it when it is inaugurated? | In his inaugural address, the brand | new “Labor” minister, a certain Wang Fa Chin, declared that the difficulty in improving the condition of the workers was entirely to bl&me on the “so-called leaders of the trade union | movement.” | He also spoke of an “unbridled” labor movement in recent times. HE first act of the new Labor Min-| istry was directed against the) workers and their trade unions. In a proclamation issued by this ministry, in the beginning of August (see “People’s Tribune” of Aug. 4), we find the following shameless words: “, . At has been learned from vari- | i }ous sources that there are many re | actionary, (!) elements who have re- cently coined all sorts of rumors and | have tried to instigate a general strike. ... Any laborer whose con- duet detrimental to public peace and order will dealt be severely with.” Such is the new “labor” policy of this new “labor” ministry. Conclusion. HE Chinese Revolution is not “over” as so many who wish it we believe. The Chinese Revolution on. It is not a passing wave; it is a deluge which, once started, will sweep | away the last semblance of the old order of things. ( The main forces of the Chinese Revolution remain thé proletariat and the peasantry. Against the united front of these two classes every re- actionary and militarist will shatter his skull and the petty bourgeois in tellectual worms who now theoris: on “National Revolution without class struggle,” Mt die of starvation or | “ he Rise of Reaction in Wuh consume their own vitals. HE temporary bloody glory of the reaction, whether under the turban- ship of Chiang Kai Shek or Tang Shen Chi, are but passing episodes in the drama of revolution. No political power can last long without the support of the two mainstays of the revolution, the workers and peas- ants. The Chinese Revolution cannot be reduced to naught by ever so many decrees of the old or new militarists. The cry of Communism and Bolshe- vism and Nihilism cannot blind the workers and peasants to the fact that they are being oppressed, their or- ganizations destroyed and their lead- ers executed. Tee bourgeoisie and all its auxiliary forces are scared to death by the prospect of the Revolution being ac- complished under the leadership of the working class. It therefore sup- presses the labor movement and “re- organizes” the trades and peasants’ unions. But Chiang Kai Shek and Li Chi Hsin were ahead of them in this re- spect.... And Wu Pei Fu and Sun Chuan Fang, though they are not so well versed in the three principles of Sun Yat Sen, were even ahead of these. Their logic is common; their words are almost identical; their SiS, Foe T CRE ash « unto each other; their methods are the same, their fate is the same— oblivion. ee Chinese working class has ad- vanced too far forward on the path of revolution to be driven back or crushed so easily for any length of time. The Chinese Revolution lives in the millions and tens of millions of exploited workers and peasants. Temporary reverses may take place. The final victory though, is assured, for once arisen, the giant proletarian and peasant classes will not be downed. The Chinese working class is gathering its revolutionary forces, and together with the peasantry will lib- erate China from all oppression, re- action and counter-revolution.
