"MAO TSETUNG DID NOT FAIL, REVOLUTION WILL PREVAIL!" Five hundred people, led by the Revolu­ tionary Communist Party, USA, were pouring into the streets to give Teng Hsiao-ping the promised greeting he so richly deserved. As the march assembled, Teng was sitting down to dinner at the White House to celebrate his treachery to the people of China and the international working class with the U.S. imperia­ lists. He was there to sip champagne with the likes of Jimmy Carter, Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger while lining China up to be cannot1fodder for the U.S. war machine. He was serving China up on a silver platter to the top U.S. bankers and industrialists-the very jackals who are bleeding the life out of us here and itching to sink their teeth int o China.

"Mao Tsetu11g did 1101 fail! Revolution will prevail!" It screamed at him across the While House lawn .. . It shattered the night of his crystal service State ban­ quet . . . It leapt at him as he hurried to his limousine outside a hot1el. From Washington, D.C. to Atlanta, to Houslon, to Seattle the force of this revolutionary call hounded Teng Hsiao-ping wherever this backstabbing rat dared to show his face. It was a direct challenge lo the hideous spectacle staged by Teng and that grin- ning born-again hyena Carter. · And hideous it was. It was a spectacfe of lies as they made pious slatements about peace while taking major steps in preparing to fight a new world war. It was a spec­ tacle of betrayal, as Teng swore that revolution was dead and buried in China. Our rulers paraded this traitor around lhe country. By the time it was over Teng must have had callouses on his knees from e<1ast lo coast crawling on the ground before capitalism. These. dogs toyed it.

The action was an inspiration to revolutionaries. Their high spfrits and-exemplary revolutionary conduct while in jail served as a model for the 78 who were arrested the following Monday. They rapped, they agitated, they got down with the other prisoners, and they generated a hell of a lot of enthusiasm. The five issued a statement from inside the jail: "The people in jail with us have had their sights raised by the revolutionary moverpent that the action represented ... and they have been generally moved by our stand. The walls of our cells will con­ tinue to reverberate with the words of the Internationale and the slogans of Monday's demonstration.

The statement was received by the Committee For A Fitting Welcome and signed.by Mark Jackson, Curtis Mohn, Gregory Ford , James Nelson and Jim Loudermilk.
