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.
Judging from entries in the Index for 1936 USA version CI, it appears this pamphlet / booklet was also published in the US (in NY City by the CP USA). It also appears that the US printed version was produced on smaller size paper, and/or with large type fonts, so that it took up more pages to present the same material.
