SEND THEIR GREETINGS on the Anniversary of the Russian Revolution. a acl SUN YAT-SEN Cel ebrate the Birthday of Dr. Sun Yat-sen Today | i | | By SEIZO OGINO. Thousands of Nationalist and Kou- |mingtang flags are waving today | above the narrow streets of the Chi- nese quarters of all the large cities of the world in honor of the birthday of the dead, yet ever-living leader of the Chinese Revolution, Sun Yat Sen. 'Dr. Sun, who devoted forty years of jhis life fighting for the emancipation of the 400,000,000 Chinese from re- actionary Manchus, war lords, and |foreign imperialists, never permitted his followers to pay him any personal honor. He kept his birthday secret and this is only the second one that has been observed on a large scale. In New York City, as thousands of Chinese residents open their meeting to-night with three ceremonial bows before the picture of Sun Yat Set, many of them will recall their associa- tion with the great leader during his three visits to this city. Dr. C. Y. Lee, artist and sculptor and an old resident of Chinatown was one of Dr. Sun’s close’ associates during the exile’s stay in this city. True to Dr. Sun. When interviewed yesterday at the headquarters of the Left Wing Kou- mingtang, 21 Bayard Street, Mr. Lee spoke with reverence and enthusiasm about Sun Yat Sen. Mr. Lee seemed to have caught something of the spirit of. the dead leader who refused to be discouraged during the darkest days of exile and apparent failure as he | translated for us the big posters and banners which hung on the walls of the headquarters surrounding the life- sized picture of Dr. Sun.

Cooperation with Soviet Russia. 2. Cooperation with the Communists. 3. Support the Workers’ and Peasants’ Movement. Another poster read: “Support the recent declaration of Mme. Sun Yat Sen.” Revolution in Himself. “Dr. Sun was a revolution in him- self,” declared Dr. Lee. “Sun Yat Sen couldn’t utter three words with- out saying ‘revolution.’” * * * “Living in South China where Britain and France had fought wars for con- cessions and special privilege from the ruling Manhus, Sun realized that China could never regain her territory and independence until the reaction- ary and degenerate Manchus were overthrown,” declared Dr. Lee. Long Revolutionary Career. Secret societies were traditional or- gans for reform in China. According to an old proverb, the officials have the law, and the people have the secret society. After China’s defeat by France in 1885, Sun began his agitation and when he saw his coun- try go down before the new Japanese Imperialism in 1894, he intensified his activity for the overthrow of Man- chus. In 1896 he was in San Francis- co forming new branches of the “China Reform Society,” and in 1902 he was here in New York City otgani- zing the “Chinese Revolution Al- liance.” “It was at this time that I met Dr. Sun for the first time,” com- mented Mr. Lee, “I was one of the first members of this secret revolu- tionary organization and a friend of mine was the only other member. Now, however, there are almost a thousand members of the present or- gan of the Chinese Revolution, the Kuomintang, or Chinese People’s Party.” Yuan’s Treachery. “When after more than ten un- successful attempts to overthrow Manchus, the Revolution at last burst forth on October 10, 1911, Sun ) Yat Sen was in this country.” Mr, |Lee stated. “He spoke in New York City at the old Doyer Street Theatre and then went to Europe before re- turning to China to become its first President. Giving up his office to Yuan Shih Kai two months later with the hope of uniting China, Sun Yat Sen was soon a refugee again in foreign countries. After the death of Yuan, Sun made his headquarters in Canton, and organized the Nationalist Government.” In 1924, a year before his death, Dr. Sun attended the first National Convention of the Kuomintang in China and issued the famous “Mani- festo” denouncing foreign imperialism and inviting the Communist to enter the Kuomintang. It was in the fall of 1923, that Sun had asked’ Borodin to come to Canton as his official ad- visor and had invited Russian military instructors to teach young Chinese in the military tactics of Revolution. The pmext year, while in Peking striving .; again to unify his country, Sun Yat \Sen died. With Workers, Peasants. “We are proud of our Sun as Russia is proud of her Lenin,” concluded Mr. | Lee, “and we are determined to fol- low his Three Great Policies and his last will until the revolution is suc- cessful. It is a shame that some of our people, even many Kuomingtang members who claim to understand the principles of Sun Yat Sen, do not fol- low the true ideas of Sun”, declared Mr. Lee. “Some still have hope in the corrupted war lords and profes- sional politicians. But we members of the Left Wing pledge ourselves to march with the workers and peasants of China until we overthrow these war lords and imperialists and establish the People’s Government for the bene- fit of the great masses of workers and peasants which is the true igea nf Sun Yet Sen (Mob Filipinos in | “Divide and Rule” Tactic of Bosses.
