Dream Of Japanese War
Against Soviet Union Is
An American Nightmare
BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

AMERICAN imperialism would gladly use Japan in new at
- tacks from the east against the Union OF SOVIET Ke
pubIcs.
is certainly this wish that fathers hope openly
pressed in The Chicago Tribune thru the correspondence OF
Roderick Matheson stationed Toxic that the Japanese
will hunt good excuse for opening Soviet rule IN
Siberia.
The Tribune has made itself Infamous the flock of
lingo writer's that has sent into the orient not the least OF
the military decorations of French capitalism on the one
hand and the other pointing out the dangers OF granting
Independence to the Philippine Islands and demanding that
their ensaveent continue. Matheson tries to state the
situation for Japan in this paragraphs:
the Raka line easily enough
allowed by the keep Siberia t
official in conversation recently
the surplus population and the necessity Of
expansion Of Japanese territory
The trick Of quoting imaginary thigh officials" is at
which Americas kept journalism has grown adept is nor
the Japanese high official who speaks however, but the
ambitions of American dollars that inject these silly dreams
of continental into the brain of the present DOM
mating power over the Mikados island realm.
Let the Tribune explain why that the soldiers Of
United States with those of Japan and host of other
nations that were once on Siberian soil Tor
the purpose of crushing the workers and peasants repub
lie had to be withdrawn They could not then stand against
the Soviet power even when was being attacked along its
whole western front in Europe not to mention the foreign
invasion Of its soil from the Arctic Ocean, Murmansk and
Archange.
If the united mperiaIist armies could accomplish
nothing defeat in 1919 and 1920 Japan has
certainly little chance of triumph now.
Japanese imperialism has confessed it realizes this sit
uaton when took its soldiers every inch Soviet SOIL
when gave up dreams for the retention of Saghaen
island rich in natural resources when it recognized the
Soviet government and its ambassador Moscow and
especially when bowed repeatedly to the Soviet viewpoint
in Russian-chnese relations The Manchurian are-up is
but example.
Japan has ambitions to be sure, both mperiaist Japan
and working class Japan lmperiaist Japan would like
nothing better than seize Siberia the best possible place
for Japanese expansion get control Manchura and
the Chinese Eastern railroad to grab the rights over the
Siberian fisheries and stake its oil claims in North Saghaen
That would make it much worth while for the United
States to launch its conqueng war in the Pacific against
the Nipponese empire.
But Japanese imperialism has two great factors to deal
with There the workers and peasants of the Soviet
Union who have the least intention of permitting Japan
aggression to establish itself anywhere in the realms over
which the Red Flag flies Then there the Japanese
workers themselves determined than before
to fight against but with their Russian comrades.
The American dollar tries to nce Japan to war against
Soviet rule will be bad day for profit rule in both Japan
and the United States when that starts 1t wouldn't
be glorious dream of conquest 1t would rather be black
awakening in the Jaws of defeat.
