ABSTRACT

In view of the active aggression by the Japanese imperialists and the imminent danger of China's ruin, workers, peasants, and other noble-minded patriots throughout the country are all taking an active part in the national revolutionary straggle against the Japanese aggressors and their running dogs, Chiang Kaishek and his ilk. Moreover, as a result of rule by Chiang Kaishek and other traitors who are selling out their country, China's economy, and especially its rural economy, has sunk into a desperate and hopeless state, and the peasant masses of the whole country have risen in opposition and rebellion. The rich peasants have already changed their attitude of hostility against the Soviet revolution, and begun to sympathize with the struggle against imperialism and the struggle to carry out the land revolution. The Central Committee of the Soviets, in order to broaden the revolutionary front to resist Japan and suppress Chiang, has decided to alter its policy toward the rich peasants.
