Reasons for the Communists' desire to destroy our
National Revolution.

Obiects of our National Revolutionary Armies and
their activities.

The Communists have made every endeavour to
oppress the peasants and workmen and have stirred up
ill-feelings between the peasants and workmen and our
revolutionary armies. We are working to secure the
emancipation of the whole Chinese race, and as the
peasants and workmen form the major part of the Chinese
race, we should naturally promote their welfare. But
in doing this we should make sure that we are securing
the real welfare of the bona-fide peasants and workmen,
and are not using a crowd of rascally good-for-nothins
claiming to be peasants, etc., in order to create trouble
among the bon- fide peasants and workmen. And since
our object is the emancipation of the whole Chinese race,
we should give due regard to other classes so that har-
monious co-operation may be achieved among all classes
and a new standard of living may be formed for our whole
race. If we desire to follow the ways of the Communists
the result will be class wars. Take a case where the
father of a family is a scholar or a merchant and his
sons are either engaged as farmers or workmen; in class
vers, either the father will have to kill his son or
his sons to kill one another. Thus before our enemies
the militarists and Imperialists
war will have broken out in our own homes: fathers and
-
can be overthrown,
sons will have murdered one another. We cannot flerate
such a state of affairs. Our late President has warned
us
