announced the Governments object in suppressing the Communist
movement and save the following reasons (1) Communism is
unsuited to conditions in China (2) It is contrary to the Three
Principles of Sun Yat Sen (3) It has perverted the Labour and
Peasant movements and (4) It has oppressed the workmen and
peasants.
Apparently the Goverment did not feel itself strong
enough to suppress altogether any of the communistic organisations It contented itself with ordering that they should be reorgan-
ised under officials who were not Communists. The necessity for
such reorganisation was shown in the record of such societies
as the Post Office Employee's Union. It will be remembered
that as a result of several threats to strike on the part of this
Union the Government undertook to subsidise its members to the
extent of some $16000 a month. In all about $88000 was paid out;
of this sum $8000 was found to have been spent on arms and ammunition, while the balance found its way into the pockets
of the officials.
