At the same time we must beware of those who

stand by rejoicing. They are supposing that our expul- sion of the Communists is just like their so-called

"punishment of Reds". The local rascals, degenerate

gentry, and corrupt and avaricious officials believe that this is their opportunity to rise and renew their

oppression of the peasants and workmen. The Imperialists

and their tame dogs, the Militarists, have been made

particularly glad, clapping their hands and congratulat-

ing one another, thinking that we will very likely make

friendly terms with them. But let all of us comrades

warn them in loud tones, "You local rascals, degenerate

gentry, greedy merchants, corrupt officials, militarists

and Imperialists have no occasion to rejoice. As long

as we live, we will allow no reactionaries to regain

power. We will not have done with you until the peasants

and workmen have been emancipated from the fetters that

distress them." We have again to warn the Imperialists,

especially you British, that you should not be in such

a hurry to remove your barricades at Shameen or withdraw

your troops. Our strikers from Hong Kong, 100,000 in

number, have not yet secured a settlement.
