[375]To the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party:
[377]The two-year period of ay extra-organizational ool-
[378]laboration with the Chinese Commnist Party bas come to.
[379]-end..and the China Forum which I founded and edited dur
[380]jthat. time.hae been forced to suspend ‘publication.: In
[382]“thé. interest." of “our. whole Bovement ag well ae in my per=
[384]gonal intereet, I coneider it necessary to record here ©
[386]‘and publish the history of the Obina Forum and. the cir
[388]cumstances of ite suspension. You refused. me the oppor
[389]tunity to lay ‘the matter before the membership of the
[391]' party even when I offered to dd.80 in your own organs and
[393]not. through the’ columns of the Forun. ‘hen, wrongly, I
[395]“ permitted the Forum to go down in silence, you turned
[397]around and in your organs and near organs in China and.
[398]abroad you proceeded with the usual slanders of "bo prayex*
[399]and *counter~revolutionery’, {n so doing you didn't have
[400]the courage or the ainpls honeaty to state that you pre-
[402]‘gented the Chita Forum with en ultimatum and forced its
[404]suspension vecause in raply its editor raised. questions
[406]“which are being placed before the whole movement today
[407]_ by the International Left Opposition. Nor did you state
[409]that you. deliberately Smashed the Forum for this reason
[410]despite ay repeated and extendéd offers to continue publi-
[411]ecatlon as before-on.a straight anti-Kuomintang, anti-~
[412]imperialist basie, leaving these various problems to de
[413]thrashed out first privately among ourselves. In other —
[414]words, you deliberately forced: suspension of the China ..
[415]Forua . despite the fact, on your own admission, that ita
[416]lose vasa serious low ta’. the revolutionary movement in
[418]~ China, that 1t-mean the disappearance of an organ which
[420]' Yor two years you had considered an extremely valiiable
[422]> inatrument in the. hands of the movement. Here, as in the -
[424]broader Lesuea which léd to our differences, your blind
[425]adherence to false policiea was once more demonatrative
[426]of your Feadiness to place your factional interests above
[427]the interests of. the Chingas Revo}ution. :
[429]In going back over the history of ths ronim, I think
[430]‘the vicious character ef. your action becomes even more —
[432]‘-evident when I start vith the fact that from beginning to].
[434]end I functioned Rot ae a sember of the party but as a.
[435]willing sympathizer. who was prepared to throw all hia
[436]energies into a job he saw he could do - edit and publish
[437]an organ in China which could help mobilise the forces
[439]of this country for struggle against the Kuomintang and
[441]_ the imperialists ‘by exposing the regime of terror and
[443]privation which they have.in-common imposed upon the
[444]masees of the Chinese people. Parmit me to recall at
[446]tion for time or labor. You gave the Forum financial
[448]aid but I never received a dollar from you that was not
[449]put into the paper. I refuged your offers of compensa~
[450]tion and earned my living elsewhere. Your only. claim on

[466]of bate and misery and oppresaton. In the end you for.
[467]foited.thia claim by ceasing any longer to be in ay eysa
[468]honest or-effective leaders of thig etruggle.
[470]Although you helped the ‘Yorum finanoially, the part
[471]you played in building it up from the day it started in
[472]January, 1952, to the day of its last appearance in Janu-.
[473]ary. 1934, was. insignificant. My repeated requests for
[474]cooperation in mattera of circulation. and material for-
[475]publication went largely. unsatisfied throughout ‘that tine.
[476]You never supplied me with the reports Iso frequently _—
[478]and. urgently sought, particularly on trade untona, .atrikxe
[479]" ‘atrugglee, the Red Armies, the Red distficts, atc. very”
[480]“thing tho Forum. did and became was the fruit of the work
[481]of a tiny group of devoted collaborators (the most in- ‘
[483]portant of whom had no connection with you whatever) and
[484]myself who had to depend almost entirely on “our onn re=
[485]sources for everything we did and published. at every
[486]crisis in the Forum's existences, when it was banned by
[487]the French authorities in Shanghai at the very outset;
[488]when it was bounded and persecuted by the American and
[489]Chinese authorities in the summer of 1933, when through
[490]Britieh police pressure it was thrown out of every avail=
[492]“able printing ship in the city; when tha pseudo-Fascist
[493]Blue Shirts again and again threatened the printing plant
[495]whioh I built up partially through personally contracted -
[496]loans -= it was invariably through my own initiative, with
[498]‘tha help of the little Forum staff, that we pulled our-
[500]eelves up by the Dootstraps every $ime and carried on to
[501]a point in January this year where the Forum waa flourish
[502]ing and growing daily in circulation, prestige, and ine
[504]- fluence despite the many formidable obstacles in. its way.
[506]The formation of the China Forum Readers Association,
[508]whioh in the brief ‘apace ‘of three months spread to eleven
[509]cities in five provinces, developing drito e mighty poten-
[510]tial weapon for the revolutionary movement, was the prod-
[512]“uot of Spontaneous action on -the part of the Forun's.
[514]readers, later sponsored and led by the paper itself.
[516]All these ‘were the Forum's own achievements, not yours,
[517]By your arbitrary and. ‘oriminal action you shattered thes
[518]in tne full ‘stride of. their grosth. Becausa to my bitter
[520]_-dieappointment. I had not_nor could { secure the Fesources
[521]to-oarry on myself - owing largely to the difficult urces.
[523]tions of work and the isposaibility of getting revenue .
[525]from the papex iteelf - all that nad been achieved and
[526]was to be aopteved was ground into the dust.
[528]IT.
[530]From almost the very begianing of ay active | work -
[531]which I date from the time I began reporting events in
[533]‘China tn a Communist way ~ a nusber of questiona presented
[535]themselves to me in inoreasingly forcible form. These ; a
[537]’ arose originally from my ‘discovery of the gross distor= |
[538]1
[540]tions and exaggerations whion [ found to de characteristic
[541]of Communist propaganda in Chins and abroad. I define
[542]propaganda as the skilful, clear, accurate and wholly
[544]a truthful reporting of the facte linked to an incisive,
[546]purposive
[548]14-0000
[550]_i86-vas false and along
[552]"of Chinese workero, strik
[554]-%
[556]purposive interpretation and a Plan of aotion for deal-
[558]ing with the facts in a Tevolutionary way. I learned mo
[560]“bie S204 tue saie aad surx or Lenin and his Bolshevik
[562]“Comrades who taught us-that the truth comes from the.
[563]‘asegs thomeelvea and that only dianater Can result frog.
[565]telling them lies. I have.never learned to the contrary
[566]that it waa py revolutionary duty to work in any other
[567]way although I soon found that the present day Communiat
[568]Party prese makes a practice of dietinguiehing between
[570]propaganda and truth.
[572]Examples of exaggeration and distortion most strik-
[574]" ; Ang to mo were naturally-those which applied to China,
[575]- because here I could cheok allegitionea with known facte.
[577]I firot wrote these down to tne ignorance or inoavacity
[578]of individuals. [ felt. that Communist editors abroad
[579]would publieh accurate facts about China 1f they could
[580]get. them. Accordingly with a friend I tried to set wp.
[581]an independent mail news servios and sent weekly bulletins
[582]to papers all over the world giving brief, sharp, factual.
[583]accounts of what was going on. This wae in the Yall of. .
[585]“4931 after my return from the area of the g¥eat Contral
[587]China floods of that summer. I scarcely understood then .
[588]why this service failed to secure any response from tha
[589]Communist press abroad. after about three months I had
[590]to suspend it for lack of. support. It simply dtdn't got
[591]published except in a few organs which were not official ]
[592]Communist Party papers, including the New York Militant.//
[593]-It wasn't long before I_ began to perceive, with a.
[594]deeper atudy of international events and the history of
[595]the Chinese Revolution, that a Consistent thread. ran-
[596]through the distortiona and exaggerationa whioh. I. found
[597]not only in brief casual. reporte of.current events but -
[598]in the s0lean-pronunolasentoes. made by delegates before
[599]plenums of tha E.0.0.1.°{ discovered that these departures
[601]£rom tho truth vere mado necessary by the official premise -
[602]that ever eaince the. catastrophe of 1937 a mighty, upeurg— .
[604]ing revolutionary movesent bas been marching forward in-
[606]. China to the ‘very brink of seizure of power under the
[607]‘leadership of the Chinese Communist. Party. I discovered
[609]that these exaggerations were necessary beoaueée the prem
[610]with 1% all the basio tenets of
[611]y the Communist International
[612]hina. I cannot begin here to
[613]tortions (which I
[615]the policies being pursued b
[616]and the Communist Party in ¢
[617]give a summary of some ‘of these dis
[619]verbally cited to you by the dozen) ranging from. partiou= . -
[621]lar incidents (the. wilfully false picture given of the
[622]cotton mill strike in. Shanghai in January, 1923, even to
[623]the point of transposing it to February to heighten the -
[624]lapreasion givan of the workern’ role in the Shanghai war)
[625]to bigh flown generalizations like the statement reoently
[626]made before the Plenum of the §.C.C.I. that the C.C.?P. has
[627]won over the majority of the Chinese working class and —
[629]tne peasantry. ot.
[630]ta denying the factual truth of this premise, whence
[631]flows the whole polioy of the Communist Party in China, I:
[633]deprecate not a whit the aagnifiocent militancy and courage

[646]‘Kuomintang, ° oe moraly respect the cold, indisputable faat| j
[648]that those etrugxles ‘are defensive, not offonelva, that
[650]“they are teolated, desperate and unorganised. With very
[652]few exceptions - a few smal! strikes here and there and
[653]the lafger exoeption of the Ked Army =: they are witbout

[660]In denying» the presence ‘of a mighty revolutionary

[662]of power) I respect facta made ‘atitll Clearer perbape when
[663]compared to the facta and figures of the monster mass move-

[758]the Red Armies in Kiangei, theee struggles avait the

[779]environment and sending them down to the Red districts ie
[781]"a good’ index to the oriminal transposition of emphasis

[784]the cities. If the White Terror doesn't carry off the -
[785]workers’ leaders as they arise, the ¢.P..does and has done
[786]so in mundreds of cases. This helps in no small part to
[787]explain why 1t has also been impossible to mobilize a ‘
[788]genuine mase unti-Japsnese movement in the fect of mili- -
[789]tary aggression and why the White Terror of the Kuomin- |

[792]ing the anti-imperialist movement or efforts toward the
