j. Hamburg dispatch reports that
Japanese buyers are extremely active
tn shipping circles buying large num-
bera OF old vessels with metal hulls.

converted into ammunition.
Answer Anti Soviet Campaign Of
Lies.
An answer 10 the irnperialist ef-
Aorts to push the Soviet Union into
var was given in Washington on Fri
day by Boris e. Skvirsky, director OF
the Soviet Information Bureau, who
declared that the Soviet Union will
not permit itself to be drawn into
tae Manchurian conflict. In for
NAL statement, he declared:
There seems to be much specu-
lstaon In the United States as to
the relation of the Soviet Union to
the present Manchurian situation.
Some Of the points raised are: VIII
tho Soviet Union become involved
I'M the military situation? Has the
Soviet Union an understanding
with q third power at the expense
ee China? On the other hand, Is
the Soviet Union giving support to
General Ma or other Chinese COM
naanders?
Possibly can clarity these mat
sers. First, while the situation in
Msnchuria is matter of deep con-
cern In the Soviet Union, / can say
amphatfcaHy that the Soviet Union
intends TO adhere to its policy of
peace. believe that Is made clear
by the declarations of the govern
nsent up to now.
'aThe Soviet Union certainly has
no understanding with any other
government at the expense of
China The basic policy of the So
Wet Union is respect for the in
tegrity of other countries, whether
large or small, strong or weak. To
arrange an understanding with an
Sther government against the In
Aegrtty Of third country would be
wholly incompatible with the prin-
cipies of the Soviet Government"
skvirsky then pointed to the ire
niendous progress that is being made
in the Soviet Union in the construc-
lion of socialist industry and the col
lectivization of agriculture. He an
swered the lies about financial cri-
sis in the Soviet Union by pointing
out that all payments due on credit
notes have been made on schedule
He said:
IAN payments contracted for in
all countries viii continue to be
made In fun and on time"
Washington officials are reported
no have considered the statement as
expressing the Moscow governments
attitude and as of great significance.
They( however, professed to be "puz-
sIed" over the Soviet peace policy
and returned to the attack on Soviet
finances.
See and Koo Resign"
OFFICIAL Washington expressed con-
esr1s over the gestures of resignation
made Saturday by DR.. Alfred SEE,
Nss,k1ng delegate to the League
Council secret conferences in Paris,
za1d Dr.. Wellington Zoo, Marking for
sssn minister. A Washington dispatch
10 the New York Times interprets
these designations as the result OF
The growing mass protest and resist
asfce in China. 1t says:
There have been political strug-
ties In both Japan and China be-
tween the civil and the military
leaders. And the Marking govern
ment has long had difficulty In
keeping the warlike sentiment In
the Chinese population In check.
The Chinese legation said today it
had advices that sentiment in
Shanghai and Tientsin for strong
action was tense"
Marking Attacks Mass Protests.
Demonstrations by students and
workers continue throughout China,
denouncing the betrayal Of the Chi
nese masses by the Marking leaders
and demanding action against the

HE Marking authorities in their eff
fort TO suppress the anti-inpetialist
sentiment. IN Marking 300 students
were arrested yesterday. A Shanghai
dispatch to the New York Times re-
ports:
SDr. Koo had arranged to meet
the students tomorrow, but this is
now unlikely as serious disturbances
have occurred at Marking, where
unruly students demonstrated in
the streets in defiance of the gar
rison commanders orders and
FLASHED with the police, resulting
