ACCLAMATIONS WILL COME FROM ALL NATIONS
5 December 1925
[Text] A Ch'ao-Mei gentry, student, and merchant joint association sent a
telegram supporting Liu Chih-lu [0491 1807 7120], stating: "The evil communist party brought calamity to eastern Kwangtung. Nearby, it can sink
China into a hopeless situation; far away, it can engulf the world and
destroy all mankind. Mr Liu relies on righteousness and steps forward,
ahead of the world. Wherever his banners point, the people will welcome
him with broth and food. Bringing down the rotten and destroying the
withered, he will soon establish great merits. (The reporter finds the
word "soon" defective.) Communization will be eradicated, and the foundation of the nation will be stabilized. Not only his achievement will rank
with the Yunnan Uprising and the Ma-ch'ang Harangue of the Troops, but mankind in the whole world will be safeguarded and the calamity of the entire
globe will be averted. He will be remembered a thousand years; acclamations
will come from all nations." Everywhere, "the whole world" and "the entire
globe" are not forgotten. How far-reaching is the sight! If Liu Chih-lu
truly eradicates "communization," "acclamations" for sure will come. But
whether they will come from all nations is unknown, but at least from the
following four: Britain, America, France, and Japan.
