Frances war industry has developed the war
industries of her allies Poland, Rumania,
Czecho-Slovakia, at a terrific rate. On this
point, the RIL.U. Magazine OF July Is has an
excellent article, also P. r. Dietrich in his pam
phlet, 1.-THE War of Intervention Against the
Soviet Union" which every worker should read.
Otto Hoetzsch, professor of history in the Uni
versity of Berlin and editor OF "Osteuropa"
writes on the railroad TO the port of Gdynia in
Foreign Affairs" Oct. 1881, as follows THE
strategic advantages of the Kattowitz- Gdynia
line are self evident, as regards the supply Of
war materials by France both to Poland and to
Rumania."
This chain of Balkan treaties, all OF which
have been drawn up to form an eastern block
against the Soviets," (Chi. Tribune, Oct 8, from
London) increases the immediate danger OF war
of Intervention against the Soviet Union. The
plot to make war against the U.S.S.R. was let
out of the bag recently In connection with the
Sino-Japanese situation. Geneva feared that if
Japan provoked war with Russia, both Poland
and Rumana would attack the Soviet Union.
The Whites believe that if Japan and Russia
clash, Poland, with France backing her, might at
tack the Russian western frontier with the prob
able assistance Of Rurnania." Chimes, Nov. 81.
The Strengthening Of Japans position in Man

sian Five Year Plan. They fear that tussIe
with Russia is not to be long postponed and
Az
to be waged again, it Is better to do 1t before
Russia reaps such advantages as may be hers
even by partial realization Of the Five-Year
Plan"

for June 7, 1928, entitled, Germany and France:
the Material Guarantees for Peace:
The French metal industry (Schneider- Creu-
zot, nire) Is firmly resolved TO offer the greatest
resistance to the disarmament OF France which
is synonymous with the reduction OF her orders
