Moscow and the Chinese Incidents

The unrest in Shanghai continues and grows, despite the naval forces that the major nations have sent to sail into the river to defend their citizens.
These same powers have just sent the Chinese government a warning note reminding it that it bears a heavy responsibility for maintaining order in Shanghai, Beijing, and throughout China.
This is easy to say, but just how powerful is the Chinese government in a country that is still almost entirely in a state of revolution?
It seems that this note has further exasperated the Chinese insurgents. Following a meeting in Shanghai attended by 25,000 students and workers, they imperiously demanded the interruption of economic relations with Great Britain and Japan, threatening the government with a general strike if these relations were not suspended within two weeks.
Naturally, the Soviets are in direct contact with the Chinese revolutionaries. A dispatch from Moscow informs us that the Central Council of the Soviet Republics has telegraphed 50,000 rubles to Beijing to help the Chinese strikers and the families of the students killed in the recent clashes.
It is curious to note that it was first against England, which was the first to renew relations with the Soviets, and then against Japan, which has a treaty of alliance with Moscow, that the first acts of violence by the Chinese revolutionaries, manipulated, as we know, by the Soviets, were directed.

When will the great powers understand that the solution to the conflicts erupting in China, Morocco, Egypt, India, and almost everywhere else in the world, lies in Moscow? It is there, and nowhere else. It is there that they must act and, if necessary, strike.
