thousands of unfinished factories
under the Five-Year Plan, is in the
least favorable position to wage
war. On the other hand it is real
lied that Japan may be counting
upon just that fact any may be
counting upon it too heavily"
Representative Sirovich, just back
from Europe, gives the details of the
plans for the attack by the capital
lists on the Soviet Union. The New
York World-Telegram writes that
Sirovich predicted that the Manchu-
rian invasion is
"a similar spark to that which
kindled the World War in the
Bankan states is smoldering in
Manchuria and will eventually lead
to another world conflagration
which will destroy Russia and
Communism and establish Japan
as the firm mistress of the Pa
cific."
Sirovich states this not on thin air
but on the basis of his observations
and confidential information obtain
ed abroad" The struggles of the
various Chinese generals are admit
ted to be instigated by the Japanese
imperialists as part of the prepara-
tions for the attack on the Soviet
Union. Sirovich gives the plans for
the attack in the fullest detail:
Chinese guerrilIas are being sub
sidized today by Japan to start in
surrections all over Manchuria and
one group does not know of the
activities of the other. The result
is there will always be trouble there
to keep Japanese soldiers on hand"
"When the war flames up, Japan
will Immediately posses Russia's
only Asiatic seaport, Vladivostok,
and seek to cut off entry to the
port by the Trans Siberian rail-
road. Russia will be compelled to
send soldiers from Leningrad. This
will mark the signal for another
ring, in which Poland and Rouma
mia are harboring grievances, to at
tack Russia from the west" he de-
cIared.
Russia will be unable TO hold
off both attacks and when settle
ment Is made, the Soviet country
will be cut up and divided, giving
Japan the eastern seaport and a
stronghold along the entire coast
while Poland and Roumania will be
enlarged"
Two Japanese ambassadors, one in
Washington, the other in Paris, dis
cussed" the Manchurian situation
simultaneously today. According to
capitalist press dispatches Kenkichi
YoshizaWa, Japanese Ambassador,
conferred today with Foreign Minis
ter Aristide BRAND, presumably"
about the Manchurian situation. A
New York Times dispatch from
Washington admits that Katsuji De-
buchi, japanese Ambassador to the
United States, discussed the Man
ehurian situation with William r.
Castle, Jr., Under Secretary of State 4"
The imperialists are planning to
smash the Soviet power OF the work
ers and peasants and to divide the
Soviet Union, like China, among the
chief imperialists. This is war not
only against the workers fatherland,
but against the entire working class
thruout the world.
The reply Of the Soviet Assistant
Commissar Of Foreign Affairs, Kara
khan, to the japanese warning"
note exposes the imperiahst hypo-
crisy behind it. The Soviet Minister
denied completely the charges of the
Japanese imperialists which have
been broadcast in the capitalist press
of the United States. Karakhap
stated that the Union of Socialist
Soviet Republics
Consider the policy Of military
occupation under the pretext Of So
called assistance, contradicts the
peaceful policy of the Soviet Union
and the interests Of general peace"
mo support has been rendered
by the Soviet Union to any fight
ing sides in Manchuria," he said.
