1. To continue the Northen Punitive Expedition to uproot militarism and to achieve unification has been for long the wish of the people. Throughout the past sixteen years, internal strife has raged without feessation. The national wealth has. all along" been dissipated in meeting the ravenous heeds of war, and our: people have never experienced a day' of peaceful living. This Government, henceforth, pledges itself to lead the Nationalist Revolutionary Army in the continuation of the Northern Punitive Expedition, to exterminate the remnants. of_ mili tarism and to achieve unification of the whole country, wiping out once for all the causes hitherto of inter-racine strife.
2. To abrogate completely all unequal treaties, restoring to us thereby our national sovereignty and our rightful position in the family] of nations. In the past eighty odd years our country has been held in bondage by successive impositions of unequal treaties dictated by the Imperialists.

This Government, therefore, pledges itself to Inbour unceasingly: for the complete abrogation of all unequal treaties, restoring to China her sovereign status, 3. To preserve the unity Power of the Nationalist Revol Bells 4, To reconstruct the Revolution ary programme and. to maintain strict Revolutionary discipline so as to protect the rights of the people and, to guarantee peace and order in society and security of the people's livelihood. The poisonous scheme of the communists is to take advantage lof the simple-minded peasants and the ignorant riff-raff, teaching them jthe means of destruction and intrigues and then luring them on with promises of easy and comfortable living, sending them finally to be jslaughtered—in short, using them as Jobjects of experiment for their Party. Thus, wherever communism runs rampant, it strips the people of that locality of their security of life land property; their freedom of speech and religion, robbing them leven of their very existence, This JGovernment, henceforth, declares it~ self bound to suppress all such perfiduous activities in order to maintain revolutionary discipline and to secure peace and safety for the people, At the same time, the agricultural and industrial groups will receive the educational training of the Revolution under the auspices of this Government, that they may understand the true meaning of the Thice People's Principles and support the Party in its struggle to bring the Revolution to a successful conclusion, is only by this course that the Three People's Principles can be car ied out in accordance with the scribed programme in practice; bringing about ultimately the cherhed "millennium of To-Tong.
