Our National Revolutionary Armies, since they were

sent out on the Northern Expedition, have achieved repeated

victories and have conquered all enemies before them.

Our National Revolutionary influences have developed

throughout China from the province of Kwong Tung. We

then made a change in our policy, and resolved to adopt

in lieu of our Blockade Policy, a National Anti-British

Boycott, laying on the shoulders of all masses in China

the anti-British responsibility that was before borne

alone by the Carton and Hong Kong strikers.

This caused

a greater pressure on British Imperialism.

Later the purification of our Kuomintang was

to be effected, and as various classes had to settle the

questions of our Party, they had no time to attend to

the work of the Commission for the Anti-British Boycott,

which as shown by facts, has been gradually slackened.

The British Imperialists on the contrary thought

that we had not enthusiasm for five minutes and could not

hold out any longer. Thereupon they took it that we could

be oppressed, and being animated by brutal cruelty, they committed the incident at Do-sing, which was a very great

insult to our masses and the prestige of our nation.

Ice melts gradually, and so the tragedies of May

the 30th and June the 23rd will surely lead to more

serious incidents. As the British Imperialists are so

wicked and have never ceased exploiting us, our race will

all be annihilated in future.

The Anti-British Boycott Conference of all Classes

has its great mission and should not leave the incident

unnoticed. We should at once organize an Examination

Ficket and begin to examine al British goods from the

15th
