Arrangements for the post- ponement have been made by tele- graph with the All-Amer‘c nti-Im- perialist League.

Of the 1,905,000,000 people in the whole world, 1,134,000- 000 live in colonies, 143,000,000 in the USSR, 000,000 in the middle coun- tries and only 363,000,000 people in the big imperialist countries which op- press the colonies and semicolonies. “Tt is evident that the revolutiona: awakening in the colonial countries is a forerunner of the end of world im- perialism. The fact that the Chinese Revolution has not as yet resulted as a direct vi over impe: m, can- not be considered dk ve from the viewpoint of prospective revolution. Revolution Grows. “A great, populdr revolution is never victorious in the first round. It grows and is consolidated as it ebbs and flows. This was true in every ease, including that Russia, and will be true of China. “The most important result of the Chinese revolution, however, is the awakening of hundreds of millions of | exploited and oppre . agelong slumber, and setting them in- to activity, definitely exposing the counter-revolutionary character of the militarist cliques, and unmasking the Kuo-Ming-Tang lackeys of the counter-revolution, thus strengthening the authority of the Communist Party. “The masses raised the movement as a whole to a higher level, namely to the stage of the organization of the Soviets, of » awakening new hopes in the millions of the oppressed classes in India, Indonesia, et ne ‘but the blind and the cowards can doubt that the Chinese workers and peasants are moving toward another revolution- ary uprising.
