military rings have launched |
war to intrench their power at
home.
The purposes of Japan have al |
ready been made clear. Very like /
ly the Toxic government already
has made a secret deal with Great
Britain to share in the parties of
northern China and Siberia should
their joint Intervention against
Russia succeed. 1t is further like
ly that while Japan acts with the
Chinese militarists in the east,
Great Britain will find a way thru
her satellite states such as POLAND
and Finland, to launch an attack
on the Russian western front.
Those who argue that the Labor
government would not sanction
such a move should be reminded
that the issue will be made one
of confidence in the House of
Commons. Events will undoubted-
" show that the Liberal party
without whose support Labor can
not continue, will uphold the
Tories. This is undoubtedly what
the British Tories are counting on.
! The part of the United States
is no less certain. For the NOM
ent the State Department is seek
ing to give the impression of
watchful waiting. But inspired
dipatches have already been sent
} out that the American government
"views with concern" the interest
of Japan in the Soviet-Sino con-
troversy. The same semi-official
information indicates that the
United States would oppose Jap
: anese intervention on the ground
! that this would be violation OF
/, the 1922 Washington agreement.
: Properly interpreted this means
4 that the u. S. Government would
: not give Japan or Great Britain
r a free hand in Manchuria. If in
t PREVENTION by the Big Powers doe:
7 occur, the United States will no
e remain the friend of the Sovie
n government as some simple
a (Hearst newspaper) correspondent
; has said. There will be a join
/ Intervention "to protect the lif,
d and property" of those powers un
# der an agreement satisfactory t,
IS all. Such was the policy in tn
; 1926 and 1927 acts of Intervention
t, in China when the imperialist pow
le ers feared that China was gettinj
1t out of hand.
l. The thunder of new world wa
If is rumbling in the distance. HOY
N soon it approaches will depend o.
+ the immediate reaction of tn
Is common people of America and o
d the other large powers ruled b
If Big Business. These people car
b. if they act soon enough, proven
ut their rulers from launching anoth
is er world slaughter far more deao
&c ly than the la carnage. No oth
n er force can or will restrain tn
m war makers.
ne The correspondent recountin
he the facts impartially must agai
st point out that the Soviet govern
at ment has repeatedly demonstrate
nd its desire for peace. Even in til
Mt last note to the Manchurian wa
of lord and to Chang Kai Shek, it hs
he indicated its desire to arbitrate a
e differences including even "doW
Id to reduction of the terms of til
We agreement and redemption of IL
of Chinese Eastern Railway prior
at its expiration" This is a virtu
of willingness even to abandon Il
as road itself if necessary to DIR
serve peace. In answer to Il
mt charges that it has conducted pr
of paganda against China sovereig
ty, the Soviet government declar
ST that a way is provided under Il
ell agreement to present any clai
on against the u. S. S. r. (Russia
De- without resorting to force.
los In conclusion it must be not
he further by the honest correspon
INT emit, familiar with the ways of GO
he ernments, that no other large pc
on. er would have shown the patien
re- displayed by the Soviet Cover
ar, ment in the face of the seizure
led its property, the Imprisonment, {
ly. lie, treatment of over 1000 of
In citizens and separation from tn
nee families. Let anyone ask hims
In what he would expect his own q
ave eminent to do under similar c
the cumstances.
