China Masses Resist
League Meet Nov. Is
to Sanction War

When the League Of Nations meets
again on Nov, is, supposedly the date
for the completion of the withdrawal
of Japanese troops from Manchuria,
it will be the occasion for the con-
solidation of the imperialistse for the
attack on the Soviet Union on the
Polish as well as on the Manchurian
front. The capitalist press points
specifically to the fact that "Japan's
attitude in the military zone, as well
as Tokio's diplomats stand, is notice
able stiffening."
Capitalist press reports have to adj
NIT that the troops and engineers
which are being shipped into north
ern Manchuria are for the purpose Of
the attack on the Soviet Union.
While the Japanese state that the
move is to repair the bridge which
was blown up, the capitalist press ad-
mits that "the Taonan-T sitshar road
is vitality strategic if Russia moves"
The Japanese are not waiting until
Russia moves" but are sending more
and more troops into that area.
During the past several days the
Japanese delegate to the League Of
Nations, Yoshizawa, has been meeting
with BRAND daily in order to pre-
pare the attack on the Soviet Union
simultaneously on the eastern and the
western frontiers. In these meetings
the detailed plans for the attack are
being worked out, the plans which
we're admitted by Representative ST.
rovich in a statement based on con-
fidential information which was pub
lished in the Daily Worker yester-
day. The reported concern" Of
League circles over the new develop
ments in Manchuria as possibly pro-
longing Japanese occupation is there
fore the most brazen hypocrisy.
The capitalist press reports sharp
struggles between the Japanese and
bandits" in Manchuria. On Thurs
day almost 500 Chinese are admitted
to have been killed by the Japanese
imperialst hordes in clashes at Mok-

matter at this Office"
This decision of the postal author
tiles follows upon the mass outpour-
ings of Negro and white workers in
Chicago and Cleveland in tremendous
demonstrations against the massacre
of Negro unemployed workers by the
police. New frame-ups such as the
Orphan Jones and Willie Peterson
cases are now being carried out
against the Negroes and 1t is the
first concern of the ruling bodies
to try to suppress the voice of the
struggle against these atrocities.

will continue as we have before in
