we're SO anxious to shut out the
Soviet Union that they carefully re-
Trained from invoking the so-called
Kellogg Peace Pact, although in 1929
when the Soviet Red Army defended
the Siberian masses against the at
tacks of White Guard elements from
ManchuIia, Stimson quickly invoked
the Kellogg Pact against the Soviet
Union.
The Soviet Union, as signatory OF
the Kellogg Pact, could not hive so
easily been shut out from -considera-
ton Of the Japanese seizure Of Man
churia if the Kellogg Pact had been
invoked. And the presence of the
Soviet would have spoiled the plans
of the imperiahsts for the division
Of China and war on the Soviet
Union. So the imperialists refused to
invoke the Kellogg Pact against
Japan, but began holding secret con-
ferences of the League Council in
which the seizure of Manchuria by
the Japanese and the persistent cam
paign of provocatfon against the So.
Wet Union were given full support
by the United States and other i'm
perialist powers.
The League Council now attempts
to prove that the Soviet policy of
holding aloof from the Manchuriaa
sitrstjon AMI Of refusing to be pro-
s'oked into var, IS the main danger
to peace in the Far East. The New
York Post dispatch declares:
Holding aaoof from the League
Councils no-Japanese delibera-
lions, unrepresented upon the pro-
:. posed inquiry commission either by
membership or by assessors, as Is
accorded the two disputants, Soviet
Russia is decidedly an unknown
quantity in the whole Far Eastern
problem, it was said today by an
eminent authority"
Germany, Italy Demand Share In.
A strong bid for share in the i'm
perialist loot in China was made yes
terday by the German and italian
delegates to the secret conferences in
Paris of the League of Nations Coun-
Gil. The Italian and German gov
ernments demanded representation |
on the League Commission to inves-
tigate China, appointment of which |
is called for by a resolution offered
by the Japanese with the backing of
U. s Ambassador Gen. Dawes. 800.
The Italian demand was prac- |
tically conceded to, but the German |
demand was met with the retort that |
since Germany had lost her colonies |
and privileged position extra terri |
torial rights in China, she had no
interests to protect in that country |
land should therefore be excluded" |
This answer by the League Council |
shows the real nature Of the COM
mission, the true purpose Of which |
is to complete the partition of China,
as Africa has been partitioned. Ger
many however, has been welcomed |
into the anti-Soviet front.
Sharp Clashes Develop.
Within the imperialist agreement
for war on the Chinese Revolution
and the Soviet Union a sharp clash
of interests continue. While United

retreat in the Japanese plans for
establishing their hegemony over all
of China, it becomes clearer daily
that Japan has not surrendered these
plans. There 81 sharpening clash
between the Japanese on one hand,
and the United States. Britain and
France on the other over the Chin
chow area, from which the Japanese
were forced to retreat a few days
ago.
The Japanese are demanding that
the so-called neutral zone proposed
to be established around Chinchow
be under the control OF the Chinese
puppet government set UP by Japan
In Mukden. Japan is adamant on
the demand that she be permitted to
use her troops in this area when
ever she considers japanese interests
threatened. And. under the pretext
that the Nanking government is
carrying on hostile troop movements
