Explanation by Members of the Right Wing of Their Opposition to Communists Ata meeting last Wedneday after. oon at the Great Eastern Hotel some 20 representatives of the leading newspapers in Shanghai met at the invitation of the Right clique of the Kuomintang to hear from them a justification as to their action against the Left clique, the so-called Bolsheviks, 'Mr. Chu Ching, a prominent] Kuomintang member, acted chairman, and explained the aims of the Right clique in connexion' with their demand for the expulsion of the Bolsheviks.
In a lengthy speech delivered by Mr. Chow Lu, former Principal vf the Kuangtung University, Canton, who was expelled from office by the Russians some time ago, ho said that there were formerly no such titles as "Right" and "Left" cliques of the Kuomintang; these were invented by the Communists, who, by ing the Kuomintang into, Right" and "Left" cliques, were able to commence a destructive policy.
Bolshevism Unpopular in China "The Communists," said Mr, Chow, "Know that Bolshevism i unpopular with the Chinese, so in order to carry out their destructive Policy they have taken advantage the good name of our Nationalist Party to further their ends." He. went on to say that, in order to. seve China, the Chinese must. talk of nationalism first and then later, if necessary, communism or cosmo. politanism: if they maintained the latter they would find themselves received. "Communism," he said, term applied by the oppressor to the oppressed, so that the latter might forget national come the everlasting former. Exactly applied to us, "By bribing to the young Chine ese," he added, "Sovies Russia maintains that it is treating China on equal footing, and has nominally, actuated by self-motive, gave up all its treaty privileges and extrater-Titorial rights in China, But what of the C. E.R, dispute? Is that not good enough as an illustration of what the Soviet really is and what it aims at?"
