Soviet Union, in the attempt to
push the Soviet Union into
war. A Peiping dispatch re-
porting Japanese plan to use White
Guards to seize the Chinese Eastern
Railway received further confirma-
ton from Tsitsihar. The London
Mail on Wednesday published the
Tsitsihar dispatch which declares
that the Japanese intend to seize the
city Of Hardin, tn central depot of
the Chinese Eastern Railway, which
is jointly owned by China and the
Soviet Union. The London Mail
article is given in the following dis
patch to the New York Times:
published the Tsitsihar dispatch
declared that the Japanese intend to
seize the city of Hardin, the central
depot of the Chinese Eastern Rail
way, which is jointly owned by China
and the Soviet Union. The London
Mail article is given in the following
dispatch to the New York Times:
"The London Mail today printed
a dispatch from Tsitsihar, Man
caurta, saying that small parties
of Japanese troops had been going
TO Hardin during the last few days
and that it was expected the Japan
csc would take over the city soon"
Further reports that Japan was
negotiating an anti-Soviet deal with
the Chinese General Ma Chen-shan
were printed in yesterdays capitalist
papers. The Japanese have offered
to make Gen. Ma the ruler Of North
Manchuria, under Japanese influence,
in the attempts to set up hostile
so-called buffer" state on the Soviet
frontier. The secret negotiations
with Ma are also directed toward i'm
mediate hostile action against the
Soviet Union in connection with the
planned seizure Of the Chinese East
ern Railway.
"U. S. Backs Japan
United States support of the Jap
anese seizure of Manchuria as mil
itary base against the Chinese re-
volutionary movement and for war on
the Soviet Union has been several
times exposed by the Daily Worker.
1t has been admitted in several dis
patches from Paris and Washington
yesterday The New York Daily News
carried the scream headline:
"U. S. Racks Japan In Occupa-
ton Of Manchuria:"
A Washington dispatch to the same
paper states:
"The effect of the League Coun-
Gill proposal is that the United
States and the twelve neutral mem
bers of the League are in accord
in believing that withdrawal of
troops from Manchuria upon a
specific date is not practicable"
The proposal referred to calls for
a commission to investigate China.
1t was offered by Japan, and sup
ported by General Dawes. 1t has
been reported that the commission
will consist of three-a French mil
itary officer, a British statesman and
an American business man. The re-
solution, instead Of being directed
against the Japanese invaders, is in
essence an ultimatum to the Chinese
TO submit to the rape and division of
China.
Dawes In Supporting Statement
A Paris dispatch reports that Cen
eral Dawes has issued the following
statement:
'The United States Government
approves the general plan of set
Element embodied in the proposed
resolution of the Council and has
SO Informed both China and Japan.
1t has urged upon them acquies-
cence in the general plan embodied
in the proposed resolution"
The same dispatch reports that the
League Council is exerting pressure
upon the Marking delegates to ac-
cept the resolution. 1t interprets
Dawes statement as also in this d.
rection.
Uniformed quarters left no doubt
that the chief purpose of this re-
sort to the printed word was to
marshal public opinion and make
clear to Marking it had better ac-
cept the resolution ms the best IL
could get, at least as far as the
great powers are concerned"
Marking Fears Overthrow By Masses
In the face of the rising anger Of
the Chinese masses against tie i'm
perialists and their Kuomintanc tools
the Marking delegates hesitate to
accept the resolution. They have
warned thcir imperialist masters that
the Marking eminent would be
overthrown if ii accepted the reso-
must rally to the defense of the Ne
