January, 1936 [China At Bay Special Supplement to the Communist International January 1936]

(comments by Marty Goodman, Director of the Riazanov Library digital archive project) Following the Number 1 January 1936 issue is a Special Supplement to the Communist International titled (at least in the version printed in Great Britain) ”.China at Bay”.

I was able to obtain a scan of the British-printed version of this pamphlet, held by the Special Collections Library of the University of California at Riverside. For a fee, they scanned for me their copy. I spent a week enhancing the digital images of that scan.
