CHINA'S REAL FRIENDS

It is for this reason that we give to-day to the Chinese people this news from their real, friends that our Red armies are marching towards the East beyond the Ural to help the Siberian peasants and workmen in order to set them free from the domination of the Koltchak bandits and their allies, the Japanese. If the Chinese people, following the example: of the Russian people, wish to become free and to avoid the fate reserved for them by the Allies at Versailles in their object of making China into a_ second Korea or another India, the Chinese people should understand that they have no other ally or brother in their struggle for liberty except the Russian peasants and workmen and their Red army. The Soviet Government, therefore, offers to the Chinese people through the interposition of its government to establish with us from now some official relations and to send some representatives to the front of our army.
