the Bolshevistic method of removing the intellectuals by massacre which may have existed in Russia does not exist in China. The oppression that ground down the Russians is not the oppression which causes suffering in China There the sway of royalty menaced the mass, but here the oppressors come from the people and are the militarists..
In China there, is no royal class to domineer; there are no rich landlords who grind down the tenants: there are few of the things happening which the Bol- sharists claim obtained in Russia and so justified their massacres and their sub- sequent autocratic actions.
