Convincing Proof of Kuomintang, Associations with Moscow:
Paid in Russian Roubles A correspondent sends the follows ing with regard to placards, with which the Kuomintang, the students and the Labour Unions have Tately plastered the streets of Changteh and vicinity:
In addition to the, well-worn ones, such as "Down with Imperialism," "Drive out Foreigners," "Away with' the. British," "Down with, the "Avengo the Blood of our Brothers, hina for the Chinese," ete., they have lately had up, especially im connexion with their hilarious the anniversary Jof the Soviet Revolution, a lot of posters which show ' beyond 'a doubt their connexion with tha sian Reds. "Here are a few of "Long Live Communism," "Com munism is the Party of the Proletariat," "Communism is that Hope of China," "Down with, tha [Opponents of the Reds," "The Third: International is the Hope of th Future," "Foster the Third Interna. tional," "Foster the Soviet Prinoiples," "Get Recruits for the Communist Party," "Foster the Motheg, Country of the Proletariat, Class—"China and Russia Yn, Communism," "Aboliak Capital." "Away with Eneroachéng., ization."
Since our school strike, some 08 the additional slogans on the posters, are:—"Down with the Tyrannical Imperialistic School Principat Chiang Ai-Teh" (ED, Chapin "Encourage the Strikers of the Chuin-Toh School," "Close All Christian Schools," "Down with Hypocritical Christianity.

"No, 1 thought mot.. Why: not find out what it is you arw shouting about?" Not, one itt ten has any intelligent conception lof what it is all about, but they fol low these paid Bolshevik agents likey 1 flock of sheep. I have learned that, the pay of these paid propaganlists (some of them, Tam sorry are former students of my own) fg fixed in Russian roubles, paid, 08 course, in Chinese money, but tha amount fixed in roubles shows enough from whence all thi paign against all foreigners, except Russian Bolsheviks, is financed.
Yet we hear some stoutly mains taining that the Kuomintang has Jconnexion with the Russian Soviets, that the Canton Reds are not Bola lovistic or communistic, and that they Jare not receiving help from Russia. The above posters speak for themselves. It is said that there one now, in Changsha alone, 40 Russian agents acting aa advisers, labour union organizers, propagandist Tea. ders, etc. There is an agency hers, Changteh, from which the stu-" dents draw their funds to finance their propaganda.
