Japan Rushing Troops and Ships
Against Central China Masses

the colonies. The United States is
also alarmed because it fears that
Japan might be thrown into the arms
of the rival British imperialism, thus
losing the leadership in the anti
Soviet front and handicapping Amer
ican imperialist aspiration for di-
vision of the tottering British En-
pire.
In demanding that Japanese re-
frain from taking Chinchow, Stimson
was speaking on behalf of the Wall
st. bankers and not for the Chinese
masses. The diplomatic clash over
ChIlchow is merely a clash of two
robbers in the process of dividing
up China. The dismemberment of
China these imperialist birds of prey
will continue and only the might of
the revolutionary Chinese masses
backed by the workers all over the
world will stop them.
Borah Admits Japanese Aims.
Senator Borah, chairman of the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee,
refused to comment on the Japanese
protest. He is reported by the New
York Times to have confined his re-
marks to an admission that the Ja-
panese were carrying out their IN
tention to seize Manchuria. The
Times quotes Borah as saying:
Il am satisfied that Japan is go
ing to carry out her program in
Manchuris."
The Times then comments:
"Mr. Borah is convinced that ia
pan intends TO remain in Manchu-
ria"
The Times article reports Senator
johnson of California as attacking
the exchange of secret notes between
Japan and the United States. John
son is quoted as saying:
"The American people have the
right to know what Is happening,
what policy their government is
pursuing, what notes bave been ex-
changed and what has been done
that may ultimately graveIy in
yolve this country.
"We have had enough of secret
diplomacy. 1t ought to have been
in the open, for, after all, in case
anything should arise it Is our peo-
pie who will be involved. They
are entitled 10 know how far they
are being committed and to what"
Stimson Covers up Wall st.
Exploiting of Chinese
The State Department carried its
secret manouvers further on Satur-
day, refusing to divulge the names of
the American companies having fl
naneial interests in Tientsin and
other parts of China. Stimson told
the correspondents that these in
terests were secret affair and could
not be divulged.
1t is to defend and extend these
secret interests that the imperialists
are planning to throw the workers of
the United States into another and
bloodier world slaughter. But even
the names of the rich imperialists
engaged in exploiting the Chinese
masses are withheld from the Am
erican working class!
