LETTER TO COMRADE BROWDER*<br />

Dear Comrade Browder:<br />

July @$, !(#&<br />

FROM MARX<br />

TO MAO<br />

Taking advantage <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> v<strong>is</strong>it <strong>of</strong> a comrade, I am sending th<strong>is</strong><br />

⋆<br />

letter <strong>to</strong> you, honoured Comrade Browder, <strong>the</strong> good friend <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Chinese people and <strong>the</strong> leader <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> American people. . . .<br />

We have heard from several American comrades and from o<strong>the</strong>r<br />

quarters that <strong>the</strong> American Commun<strong>is</strong>t Party and <strong>the</strong> great mass <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> American people are pr<strong>of</strong>oundly concerned about China’s anti-<br />

Japanese struggle, and <strong>the</strong>y have already aided us in several ways.<br />

<strong>Th<strong>is</strong></strong> gives us <strong>the</strong> feeling that our struggle <strong>is</strong> not an <strong>is</strong>olated one,<br />

that we are receiving heroic ass<strong>is</strong>tance from abroad; at <strong>the</strong> same time,<br />

NOT FOR<br />

COMMERCIAL<br />

we have <strong>the</strong> feeling that, when we obtain vic<strong>to</strong>ry, th<strong>is</strong> vic<strong>to</strong>ry will<br />

be <strong>of</strong> great ass<strong>is</strong>tance <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> struggle <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> American people for<br />

liberation.<br />

Today’s world <strong>is</strong> on <strong>the</strong> eve <strong>of</strong> a great explosion, and <strong>the</strong> work-<br />

ing class <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> whole world, as well as all <strong>the</strong> peoples seeking liberation,<br />

must certainly unite and carry on a common struggle.<br />

Re<strong>vol</strong>utionary greetings!<br />
