To the delegates of the 1933 International Anti-Imperialist and Anti-War Congress: The Provisional Central Government of the Chinese Soviet Republic, representing the working and toiling masses of all China, hereby extends to all delegates of the Congress the proletarian revolutionary salute!

Brave vanguard of the anti-imperialist front: Despite the White Terror of the imperialist Kuomintang, despite the intimidation and obstruction by fascists, police, and spies, you have resolutely convened the World Anti-Imperialist and Anti-War Congress in Shanghai—laid waste by Japanese bandits under the joint administration of international imperialism. We express our boundless admiration and ardent hope!

The opening of this Congress marks an unprecedented and momentous victory for the international working class and all toiling masses on the international united front at the grassroots level against imperialism. We are firmly convinced that this Congress will surely lead the anti-imperialist fighters of the world to take concrete steps to oppose the imperialist plot to turn China into a complete colony through a war in the Far East, as well as the equally perilous and imminent imperialist campaign against the Soviet Union.

The toiling people of all China fully and profoundly understand the sharp antagonism between Lord Lytton’s Commission of Inquiry and the International Anti-Imperialist and Anti-War Delegation. Political experience has taught us that the former is the planner and organizer of the imperialist powers’ scheme to carve up China, while the latter—you—are precisely those who stand as the most powerful allies of the Chinese people in their struggle against imperialist bandit aggression and for China’s independence, freedom, and liberation.

We urge you to lay bare before the brotherly workers and peasants of the entire world the full truth about the bestial atrocities, heinous crimes, and sinister plots perpetrated by all imperialist forces in China. At the same time, we warmly welcome you to visit the Soviet regions, where you may compare the revolutionary fervor of the workers and peasants, the improvements in their living standards, and the comprehensive construction carried out by the Soviet government with the starvation, death, unemployment, and famine you have witnessed in the areas under Kuomintang rule. By drawing such a stark contrast, you can stir the enthusiasm and sympathy of workers, peasants, and soldiers throughout the world.

At present, China finds itself locked in a fierce struggle between two paths: the path of colonial subjugation and the path of the Soviets. The imperialist Kuomintang is madly pursuing its fifth “encirclement and suppression” campaign against the Red Army of the Soviets, precisely in order to force China onto the road to complete colonization. Meanwhile, we are concentrating all our strength to smash the enemy’s all-out, life-and-death offensive, doing everything in our power to block the imperialist path to colonization and to fight for the path of an independent, free Soviet China.

We are confident that this Congress fully sympathizes with our cause; therefore, the success of the Congress is our success, and its victory is our victory. We, leading the workers, peasants, and Red Army of the whole country, unanimously support the smooth conduct of this Congress and extend our heartfelt congratulations on its great advance.
