butcheries committed by the British Imperialists in China. (b) Purpose of the Butchery.
The traditional policy of the British Imperialists towards China as exemplified in the incidents related above and the harsh manner in which they have encroached, afford proof that the recent butchery had for its objects
(1) To continue and intensify their high-handed
policy towards China.
(2) To make a last desperate attempt in view of
the growing force of the National Revolution
and of the collapse of their tools, the
Militarists.
(3) By direct action to cause a tumult in the Capital
of the Chinese Revolutionaries. This is on the
same lines as the plot of the Japanese
Imperialists who bombarded Taku and forced the Nationalist troops to retreat.
But of late, the Chinese revolutionary influence has been unified and grow strong, and in reality the English Imperialists can no longer do anything against it. Therefore though the tragedy on May 30th and the murders at Hankow and
Kiu-kiɛng had the same purpose, yet the results have been different. The cruel acts of the Imperialists will only increase the power of the Chinese people to overthrow the English.
4. Our policy towards the British Imperialists.
(1) To point out to the people the cruel acts they
have committed in China, so as to develop the
Anti-British movement.
(2) To urge the National Goverment to take serious
steps to get the 8 demands put forward by the
masses on account of the Hankow tragedy, realized
and the sad affairs of May the 30th and June the
23rd settled.
