Imperialist War

In preparation for the next impe-
riahst war the United States War De-
partment is experimenting with
planes of new design, which are ex-
.pected to be faster than the British
planes which are the speediest now
in use. The War Department expects
to have within eigh months for
midable array of military craft rep
resenting great departures from
standard types aloft on service tests"
The capitalist press dispatch from
Washington specifies some of the
planes that the capitalist class is
preparing for the next imperialist
slaughter.
among the distinctly new pur-
suit types are two-place combat
planes which may be the forerun-
ncrs of new tactics, and new at
tack model will have an inclosed
bomb bay and machine guns con-
tanned in stream-lined landing
wheel housings"
In addition the capitalist class is
consolidating its plants for the manu-
facture of war materials. On Monday
the capitalist press announced the
consolidation of the Hercules Powder
Co. and the Paper Makers Chemical
Co., as well as the Western Cartridge
Co. and the Winchester Repeating
Arms Co. These consultations will
result in the formation of bigger
plants for the turning out of chemi-
Gals and munitions. These are the
preparations for the next war.

He called the depression passing

insisted that only private charity

But still, in the face Of the millions
unemployed, he claimed, "the num-

Hoover's speech and the community

Hold Secret Session
Stimson Prepares New
Note to Japan

The admission of the United States
delegates to the League Council In
the discussion of the Manchurian sit
uation has sharpened the conflict Of
the United States and Japan actually.
AS result Of the violent opposition
Of Japan the proposed plenary ses-
sion OF the council was postponed and
private meeting OF the thirteen del
egates to the Council was scheduled
instead The meeting Of the japanese
delegation in Geneva has caused 'in-
tense excitement" The Japanese
delegates have cabled their govern
ment for further instructions for
carrying on the conflict. The de-
mand by Japan that the entire ques-
ton of the appointment of the United
States delegate to the meetings Of
the council be reconsidered has
aroused gravest concern" in the
League because it means an obvious
sharpening Of the conflict with the
United States.
The London Times on Sunday car
ried an article by Bland, journalist
bankers agent pointing out the dan
gers Of armed conflict between the
United States and Japan that are
rapidly maturing as the result of the
Manchurian crisis. Bland writes:
what then shall 1t profit the
world If, in endeavoring TO suppress
the causes Of enmity between
China and Japan, the League Of
Nations foments new ones Of a far
more dangerous nature between
Japan and the United States?"
All of the imperiaist powers realize
the serious consequences that may
result for all Of them through the
outbreak of a new world war and
are attempting If possible to post
pone the outbreak of the conflict
among the imperialists through the
creation Of united attack against
the Soviet Union.
While the diplomatic conflict goes
on In Geneva, Washington and Toxic,
the Japanese imperialists are en-
trenching themselves for the winter
in Manchuria. They are erecting
immense winter barracks in Chuliuho
and other cities, digging trenches
and stringing wire barricades, and
evidently planning for indefinite &C.
cupancy. They are also erecting an
airdrome near Yungchi sufficient 10
shelter $50 planes" All OF these
preparations are not only for the
purpose Of entrenching themselves
for the imperialist exploitation of
Manchuria but for the purpose OF
preparing for the attack on the So
Wet Union which is the next logical
step in the Japanese imperialist
move.
While the Japanese are entrench-
ing themselves in Manchuria they
are continuing the attack on the
Japanese workers. In addition to the
meeting Of leading generals on Sun
day there was meeting of the Home
Minister with the chief OF the metro
politan police of Toxic and the chief
Of the Police Bureau of the Home
Office. This meeting was to inten-
sify the repression OF the militant
Japanese workers and to prevent any
resistance Of the workers under the
leadership Of the Communist Party
to the imperialist actions Of the
Japanese bankers and TO the hunger
program Of the capitalist class.
