phrase that may turn out to be not so HARM
less for the imperialsts-"A mutiny of Japanese
and Chinese soldiers"-is not this the feature
that can and will from historical point of
view in the not too far distant future, alter the
whole situation in the East and change the en-
tire map of the capitalist world generally?
But for the time being the "mutiny theory" of
Stimson and the policy of Optimistic" observa-
tons based on this theory was namely this policy
that corresponds at its best to the Japanese rob-
berry in Manchuria. Only the first stage Of this
robbery was completed and the strategic points
of Manchura was secure in the hands of Japan.
Only then the imperialist liars remembered that
somewhere and sometimes they jabbered about
the "outlawing of war" and even promised to
protect the victims of an aggression.
To stimulate this protection the European
and American peace makers addressed friend
ly advice" to Tokyo of withdrawing the Jap
anese army beyond the limits Of the railroad"
adding reserve about the necessity of having
in mind the security of "life and property of
Japanese and other foreign citizens" The oc-
cupants therefore, can now on a legal basis hold
the most important towns in Manchuria and
even spread the occupation and the military &C
tions under the pretext OF defending the life
and property" pretext that is not difficult to
find and still easier for the Japanese provoca-
tors to create in Manchuria.
After accomplishing its duty in such splen-
did manner, the League of Nations the guardian
angel Of peace, decided on September 18th to
disappear from the stage and adjourned for fif-
ten days. AS far as the Kellogg Pact is con-
cerned the respectful corpse preferred even not
to reveal its existence The results of the "diplo-
matte efforts to establish peace and order"
in Manchuria are as follows: I

treaty areas" (The number Of Chinese killed
by air bombardments at PaiShan- Chengtse
reached 2oo)
In relation to order, in Mukden the martial
law does not allow Chinese citizens to appear on
the streets, except between o'clock in the morn
ing and o'clock in the evening. To what ex-
tent might this bloody brutality and terror
reach in the Chinese villages? The japanese
Foreign Minister, reported in the bourgeois press
to have shed tears of sadness at the first in
formation of the war in Manohuria, now de-
clares in an official answer to the Chinese gov
eminent that "the Japanese troops were being
gradually withdrawn from Manchuria . as
the formation OF Chinese peace maintenance
committees progressed 1t means that Japan
depends upon, and is carried out to the extent
in which the peace committees" are organized.
But these peace maintenance committees" are
namely these groups Of the open Japanese
agents In Manchuria which are preparing for
her the destiny of Korea.
Such is the situation in Manchura Is it not
sufficient that the New York Times speaks about
the Japanese reply as pleasant reading?"
But, the reader might ask, are the American
and European imperialists interested in the
strengthening of the position of. Japan in China
and especially in Manchuria2 OF course not
But they are interested in utilizing the japanese
occupation as factor which accelerates the
disintegraton of China. creating new favorable
conditions for the penetration Of each imper-
ialist group In China for its own ends. This Is
why the policy of Stmson and Of the League Of
Nations that by not hinderng, encourages the
Japanese occupation, on one stage, does not ex-
clude by any means, but on the contrary, in
cludes the open intervention Of America and
imperialist Europe in Manchuria at another
stage, at the moment when 1t will correspond
to their robber interests
And the decisive factor defining the war
policy of the irnperialists in Manchuria is the
hostile activity against the Soviet Union and the
attempt to use this military operation in the
north China to push forward the intervention
against the Soviet Union. 1t is sufficient to
counterpose the information about the Soviet
policy in Manchuria in the bourgeois press to
