The Canton Incident of June 23rd, The Truth/APPENDIX A.

Extract from an article by Zinoviev in the Pravda, published in April, 1925.

After outlining a list of imaginary "crimes" by the Powers, including the "seizure" of Hongkong by the British, the writer goes on to say that after all these "preparatory doings" there was little left for Soviet leaders to do.

"We had only," he says, "to advise a few individual Chinese to commit suicide as a protest against imperialistic violence, to cut off their own fingers and with their blood to write short but strong maledictions, to advise hundreds of thousands of workers to demonstrate and strike and to convince reactionary generals-and Chang Tso-lin among them to contribute big sums of money to support the anti-imperialistic movement."
