The present upheaval in Canton is definitely com- mitted to the establishment of the Soviet form of government and has broken with the traitorous leadership of the Kuomintang that sold the Chi- nese masses to the imperialists. The lessons that the Chinese workers and peasants learned during the civil war of the past years will stand them in good stead now and they will know how to deal with the native militarists and careerists as well as with the foreign imperialists. * * * gee will notice that the capitalist press refers to the revolutionary workers as a “mob” and of course they blame the “Russians” for the re- volt. They would not think of blam- ing the reactionary’ Kuomintang leaders who massacred the workers and peasants when they got the drop on them a few months ago. The revolution in Canton is an effective reply to Chiang Kai-shek’s offer to the world powers a few days ago, which was a broad hint that - the | Kuomintang Was now ready to sign on the dotted line and hand over China to the imperialists. * * * ae trouble with this kind of a pro- gram is that there are too many Chinese workers and peasants who want something that the imperialists cannot afford to give them. The in- ternational plunderbund can afford to pay Chiang Kai-shek, Chang Wing Wei and other renegades a stiff price for their treachery, but they cannot afford to be so generous with 400,- 000,000 workers and peasants. * And the masses have learned from bitter experience that their freedom depends on their own efforts. strike of the Seamen’s Union shows Ai am pater ae eine tie een jail —— opposition z the or any amusement. “I tell their stories enemas’ - P 4 e - A es | snl wees 2 7 4 - | war. e made a try at it “An : : te ss : Ho Lung, whose revolutionary army took Swatow and was snip tion lies in that quality which makes | Man’s Folly,” a story which enter-|Structive to the young, Ivalso believe | AMERICAN marines are doing then forced to retire, is not mentioned in dispatches so far.
