RELY ON PEASANTS FOR CHINESE BREAK Hankow Leaders Have Hope Misery Will Create Red Uprising.

In some respects it| in Rus revolu “ime from and indis- | regime far more than Kerensky 1 ever was, Org: The Chin st _movement | has been running upon two pa lines. One line. Hankow government, de masses of the Chinese people must stirred into revoit by intensive revolu- | tionary nda. To this end it ‘ming the laborers and | peasants, organizing strikes and teach- | ing that foreign impers the asantry. lism, capital ism and all forms of class privilege must go. | The other line of development, per- | nified by Chang Kai-Shek and his Nanking group, wishes to get rid of the “unequal treaties” and unify | China, but desires to do so without precipitating a class war. For the last vear the divergence of | the two tendencies has been more marked than ever. The public sepa tion of the two, brought about by Chiang Kai-She ebellion against | the central executive committee of | the party and by 1 tematic d struction of the radical labor ui in his area, annihilated the tionalist movement in its old form and in its Sun Sen republicanism. What remains is the revolution | headed by Hankow and the counter revolution headed t What will prevent this is the tre- mendous mass of Chinese labor and peasant organization, nearly 400.000,- 000 illiterates, living under condition of appalling misery, who are now for | the first time in centuries being stirred | into activity by their agitators. ! Red Revolution Looms. Hankow is bent on setting the in motion, and if the Hankow ernment reaches Peking, China may see a duplicate Russian revolution on an even vaster scale. | Mikhail Mikhailovitch Borodin, the | remarkable Russian revolutionary, | with a genius for organization, is the | mainspring of the Hankow govern- | ment.

His native lan- guage is English and he speaks "t!l? Chinese. He can neither read nor ite Chinese, and the work of his ministry is carried on in English. | Chen is at heart a conservative, and | has. little sympathey with socialistic | aims, but he welcomed the revo- i Jutionary technique of the Chinese and | Russian Communists as a means of | stirring up the Chinese people. He is bitterly anti-British. Sun’s Widow in Councils. | AMadame Sun Yat Sen, the widow of | the founder of the Chinese Republic | and the Kuomintang, is a member of all the highest organizations of the | party and government, including the tionalist Government Committee {the equivalent to a cabinet in Europe | or America). She, 100, is a conservative at heart, but is influenced by the fact that her famous husband in his last two vear had gone steadily more under the in fluence of the Russian revolutionari Wang Ching-Wei, the “beloved dis- | eiple” of Dr. Sun Yat Sen, is a fier; revolutionary orator and arouses un- Jimited enthusiasm among the poome He is likely to develop in the direc of extreme communism.
