Our Responsibility

(October 23, 1937)

We must defeat Japanese imperialism; the Communist Party, the Red Army, and the Shaan-Gan-Ning Special Region bear this responsibility. We must awaken the people of the whole country and all political parties and groups nationwide to carry out the Ten-Point Programme for Resisting Japan and Saving the Nation put forward by the Communist Party, so as to reverse the perilous situation and vanquish the Japanese aggressors. Let every Communist and every progressive element unite, yield to no difficulty, prepare everything well, and finally smash Japanese imperialism.
