SOVIET IN CHINA
INTERNRAL DIFFICULTIES A FOUR-FOLD PROGRAMME LONDON, Ist January. “We shoot the*landowners unless they willingly submit to the laws of the Chinese Soviet,” states a Chinese “red” soldier, writing to “Pravda,” the official organ of the Russian Soviet. That is their way, the soldier says, of establishing the Soviet regime in China. The new-born Chinese Soviet republic, with its chief centre in Kiang-si Province, says the Riga correspondent of the “Tillies”, is already experiencing internal difficulties similar to those of Russia. The “Chinese Communists,” possessing right and left wings, are opposing the official Leninist policy, _ especially the extermination of the Chinese “Kulaks” (well-to-do farmers). but the 200,000 “Orthodox Communists” are determined to oust the waverers and enforce their, four-fold programme, consisting of the creation of a trustworthy Red army; the organisation of .Soviet government, based on the army ; the enlargement of the Chinese Soviet by fomenting economic warfare outside its frontiers- lastly, the engineering of an agrarian revolution.
