'LENIN PREDICTS
U.S.-JAPCLIMAX
Says Soviet Will Exploit
Friction CausedIby Van
!. derlip Option.

The concession of 100000 square
miles of Siberian territory to an
American syndicate represented by
Washington vanderlip will bring
the friction now existing between
the United States and Japan to a
climax in the belief of Nicolai
Lenine. T.
1T is our purpose to use this
friction for our benefit" the Russian
premier is quoted as having said.
A speech made by Lenine before
the Moscow Communists in which
these opinions are expressed
reached official circles in Washing
ton and was made public Thursday.
The fact that two Japanese
cruisers were dispatched to Asanaka
Bay. located in the concession ter
ritory just as soon as news Of the
Vanderlip contract reached Toxic,
Is regarded here as conclusive proof
that Lenine did not speak entirely
without knowledge of the situation.
Excerpts from the speech were
first printed in the krasnaya Ga
zetta of Petrograd on November %.
In IL Lenine told his fellow Com
munists that. intrigues were prin-
cipally responsible for the attacks
that have been made upon Soviet
Russia during the past three years.
At the present time, he said, his
country is at a great advantage be-
cause -capitalistic countries" which
still have tremendous hatred
against Soviet Russia, cannot dis
patch troops against her.
Lenine does not, he said, fear the
result OF a war in the Caucasus be-
cause of the superior number Rus
sia would be able to concentrate in
that locality.
