Japan ConsoIidates Hold On Man
churia-
The Japanese are consolidating
hold on Manchuria in preparation for
the real objective-the attack on the
Soviet Union. An article by George
e. Sokolsky in yesterdays New York
Times admits:
"Chinese authority is now COM
pletely destroyed in FengStein,
Kirin and Rockingham provinces.
Jehol is still under Chinese control,
but that province Of the Manchu-
rian government is really In East
ern Inner Mongolia and Is not stra-
logically or economically important
in this situation"
A Mukden dispatch referring to the
announcement by "tfle Japanese Of
fetal spokesman of the formal
adoption of the budget by the new
independent Chinese government Of
South Manchuria, !" says:
Inquiries directed to the new set
of Chinese officials, seeking addi-
tional budgetary details, met with
the reply: we are not informed on
the budget because 1t has not yet
been translated from Japanese TO
Chinese"
Kuomintang Continues Betrayal.
The Kuonintang congress which Is
now meeting at Marking has taken no
steps to resist the Japanese aggres-
sion. Instead it is continuing its ef-
forts to crush the Chinese mass strug-
gle for liberation.
The new Marking charge d'affaires
in Washington, DR.. Hawking Yen,
declared yesterday che did not believe
China would declare war on japan
but would continue to resist the jap
anese in Manchuria.

Fearing reprisals for their aid to
General Mas army, the entire popu-
lation Of Tsitsihar is In flight to-
wards the western district where
there is a strong resistance to the
Japanese. A Mukden dispatch re-
ports:
"The Chinese population Of Tsit-
sihar is in panic-stricken flight
from the city despite the intense
cold-10 degrees below zero-the
Japanese official messages an
nounced.
VIRTUALLY all of the inhabitants
evacuated in terrible confusion,
abandoning homes and belongings.
Thousands fled through the snow
to western districts despite reports
that strong outlaw hordes were OPP
Grating there"
Chinese Boycott Hits Japanese Trade.
Hand in hand with the armed re-
sistance of the Chinese masses, a
powerful boycott is being conducted
against the Japanese A Tokyo dis
patch admits:
THE Chinese boycott has reduced
Japanese shipping in Chinese wat
ers by almost so per cent. The fig
ures for october show the total
Japanese tonnage engaged In the
Chinese trade to be l4,3o0 tons, a.
compared with 29,1oo tons In Octo-
Der, 1880"
This is having the effect OF further
aggravating the severe economic and
financial crisis in Japan.
