Red Army. The number of Com
munists in Kiangsi Province
amounts to 70,0GO under the lead

Eastern Honan, about 10000"
Communist Influence Crews.
According to the reports of the for
eign eonsulates, the influence of the
Communists in Kiangsi Province is
much greater since the crushing de
feat of Chang Kai-shek's "Commu-
mist Suppression Campaign. "
Throughout China the Communists
are the only ones giving leadership to
the Chinese masses in their struggle
against Japanese imperialism and its
present allies, France and ten United
States.
Japanese Chinese Tools In Maneuver
The Chinese General Ma Chen
shan, a Kuomintang tool of the Jap
anese who is playing the special role
of providing Japan with the neces-
sary pretext to advance northward,
yesterday declared" war ON the Jap
aness invaders. That this is nothing
more than gesture is seen from
General Mas previous action in
abandoning a strongly entrenched po-
sition to vastly inferior japanese
force, and in the fact that other Kuo-
mintarg tools of Japan continue their
betrayal Of the Chinese masses, con-
filming their resistance to the Jap
auesa invasion to futile appeals" to
the ingerialist League of Nations,
The japanese War Office gave out
the news OF General Mas "declara-
ton" OF war. 1t also announced that
General Ting Chao, commander of
the Chinese railway guards doing
duty along the Chinese Eastern Rail-
way, has decided to assist the Hell
lungkiang army and is gradually
massing his troops in the neighbor-
hood OF Anganchi."
Try Involve Soviet Union.
This is another attempt on the part
Of the imperialists and their Chinese
militarist tools to involve the Soviet
Union. General Ma is reported as
callinr for mobilization of Kuonlin-
tang forces at Tsitsihar. Tsitsihar is
north OF the Chinese Eastern Rail

The Soviet Tass News Agency has
received a report from KhabaroYsk,
Siberia, that an official of the Japan
ese military mission in Hardin, Osava
by name, invited the Tsarist General
Kosmin On behalf of the mission to
organize plot against the Chinese
Eastern Railway and to arrest promi-
nent Soviet officials, such as the con-
sui and the manager of the railway.
White Guards Pedd!e Les
This plot has been repeatedly in
dicated in dispatches from Man
churia. A dispatch from Buffalo,
N. Y, reports the publication in that
city of petition by White Guards
in Manchuria. The petition resur-
reefs the religious attack on the Sow
let Union. 1t declares that priests
and other clergymen In the Soviet
Union are being forced to work for
a living. 1t peddles the lie that "5,-
100000 persons have been deprived
of the right to vote, work or draw
rations. Many have taken refuge in
huts dug in the earth, in tents and
haystacks, and according to Mr..
Graeheff, 8 per cent of the Russian
population is moving closer to the
border in order to be able to escape
into China"
This vicious lie is peddled at time
when even the capitalist press has
been forced TO admit the tremendous
increase in the well-being OF the Rus
sian masses, and a few days after
millions of workers and peasants in
all parts of the Soviet Union cele-
brated the 18th anniversary of the
triumph of Socialism over capitalism.
This lie is a follow-up to the lie in
the capitalist press on Monday that
