NEW YORK.-Through maneu-
vering within the League of Nations.
the leading imperialists hope TO cover
up the rapid war preparations in
Manchuria, especially against the
Soviet Union, by conversations" over
the Kellogg peace pact.
1t Is significant that all meetings
of the 10 powers are strictly secret.
only the vaguest news statements be-
ing given out.
In the talk about peace" and
"non-aggression," the capitalists are
attempting to cover up the facts o.
the slicing up Of China by all OF the
imperialist robbers. They actually
constitute a committee of 13 plan
ming war against the Soviet Union as
ehe next step to the division Of
China, 1t not directly in connection
with this division.
That British and French imperial
ism, despite the move of the League
of Nations in seating the American
observer, are closer to apanese i'm
liberalism is shown in many ways.
The French capitalist press is out
spoken in its sympathy for Japanese
imperialism as against American i'm
perialism. The French puppets in
the League Of Nations, ugoslavia
and Poland, voted for the Japanese
on an important issue.
Seek Anti Soviet War Front.
What the capital powers are now
trying to achieve is a united front
for war against the Soviet Union.
There are many vague references TO
the Soviet Union in the capitalist ca
bles from Geneva. However, through
statements by leading Japanese, Brit
ish and American capitalist spokes-
men this drive for war against the
Soviet Union Is made clear.
ANC oodly WONhcT HAS ALREADY
printed the statement of a united
front for war against the Soviet
Union made by the Buddhist high
priest in Tokyo.
In Sundays edition of the New
York American, in an article pointing
out that the situation in Manchurta
is like that which preceded the last
world war, Henry Morgenthau, rich
Wall Street banker, and former am
bassador to Turkey, admits that the
Soviet Union Is a leading considera-
ton Of the imperia1ist powers In their
war preparations.
Writing on the Japanese attitude
toward the workers republic Qn

rialists against the Soviet Union) he
says:

her Five Year Plan, IF 1t proves
successful"
While the capitalist press In the
United States carries very meagre
news on 1t, Hoover called a special
cabinet meeting Friday TO take up the
Manchurian war situation. The re-
suits Of this meeting we're not men
toned in the newspapers.
Japanese Aims.
In the League Of Nations the Jap
anese imperialists bluntly put for
ward their demands for control of
Manchuria. These demands are
summed up as follows: u Armed &C.
supation OF all strategic centers In
Manchuria; % Disarmament OF CHI
nese troops; 81 Control of mineral
resources and railroads
AS part of the Japanese war prep
arations against the Soviet Union,
the Japanese imperialists are subsi-
dizing and putting into action the
remnants Of the old Russian White
Guard troops in Manchuria. The
New York Times reports that General
Semnoff's old bands are active near
the Soviet frontier.
