A BOLSHEVIST OUTBURST

CHARGES AGAINST POWERS.

LONDON. September 10. Bolshevist protests against “ Imperialistic intervention in China ’ have developed into a frenzy, and ■ the Soviet press, says the correspondent of Tho Times at Riga, is devoting whole pa.£*es, in tile most lurid, revolutionary language, to a denunciation of “tho shameless intrigues of the bourgeois lackeys, MacDonald and Hernot, and their associates, “ who are violating China’s sovereign rights, and attempting to frustrate the beginning of a proletariat revolution.” Tho Moscow newspaper Izvestia declares that Britain, France, America, and Japan are not merely indirectly, but directly, attacking the Soviet union by sending warships into Chinese waters. Tho paper declares that this is not only military ference with Ghina’s affairs, but is the beginning of a new world conflict. The intervention is aimed against China and the Soviet, because of the treaty between China and tho Soviet. ... The paper adds: Britain, ranee, America, and Japan intend to partition China, and only "a revolutionary proletariat, and above all an alliance between China and Russia, will prevent them from doing so.” , , ~ , Maintaining that the Powers should not interfere with tho process of political development now operating in China, the correspondent of The Times at Poking says: “We are now witnessing, or wailing to witness, a trial of strength between the two principal elements in tne country, find tho only thing for the foreigner to do is to shut all his doors and windows and hope for the best man to win. When there is a victor who commands respect and possesses power, we will hope for a strong Government with which foreign Governments can deal." As things are, tho country is being sucked dry in order to maintain rival military interests, and though foreign intervention might end the fighting, it would not eliminate the rivalry and its evil consequences.”
