OPEN HEARINGS REVEAL MASS STARVATION OF JOBESS WORKERS


the same Chinese and Korean Com
munists reported several days ago as
advancing on Tsitsihar. There was
nothing in the reports few days
ago to even indicate that these forces
had come from Siberia. Following
the battle, the Japanese War Office
issued provocative statement de-
claring, 1.-THE Russians are evidently
planning something"
A dispatch from Mukden reports
further sharp resistance to the muir
derous advance OF Japanese imperial
ism. 1t states:
TN addition to the fighting with
organized Chinese, there were re-
peated clashes between starving
Chinese bandits Fighters against
imperialism are always bandits, ac-

British In Struggle For Leadership
Reports from Tokyo express fear
of Joint attack by Gen. Nah Chan
shan from the north, and his chief,
Marshal Chang Hsueh-liang, former
governor of Manchuria deposed by
the japanese, from the South. Should
this develop it would indicate that
the British imperialists have succeed
ed In their attempts to create 8 rift
in their favor between the Marking
tools of Japanese and United States
imperialism. The British imperial
lists are making frantic efforts to
break up the Japanese United States
agreement and to wrest for them
selves the leadership in the anti
Soviet front. During the past two
days, they have tried to overcome
the results of the successful United
States vancouver Of forcing them to
appear opposed to Japan at Geneva
A dispatch from Washington to the
New York Post declares:
dispatches from London say
that there is q growing feeling In
England in favor of Japan"
League Meet Monday To Back Japan
The same dispatch makes 1t clear
that the League Council meeting on
Monday is expected to develop the
united front against the Chinese
masses and the Soviet Union. 1t says:
"NO radical action by the League
Of Nations with regard TO the jap
anese operations In Manchuria Is
to be expected at the meeting Of
the League In Paris Monday"
And further:
Pressure upon Japan having
failed, pressure viii probably now
be directed upon China to secure
from her concessions with regard
to direct negotiations which will
save Japan's face. At least that
is the logical way. Failure In one
direction generally leads, when you
can not go further in that direc-
tion, to a move In the opposite d.
rection."
Japan Moves To Set Up Puppet
Emperor
In the meantime, assured Of full
support by the other imperialistS, the
japanese imperialists are pushing
forward their occupation Of Man
churia and their efforts to force the
Soviet Union into war. DR.. Alfred
SEE in one of his frequent and futile
notes to the League Of Nations
to displace Chinese authorities and
working Systematically in Manchuria
to disploce Chinese authorities and
set up groups under japanese con-
troll. He said his Government was
informed that more than 1000 jap
anese troops and two companies OF
cavalry were within easy reach Of
the Nonni River bridgehead during
the last week end. with 240 carloads
of supplies, 10 carloads of medical
supplies, six airplanes, 40 field guns,
2 arrnored cars and a military Wire
less apparatus"
This gives the lie to the capitalist
press statements that japan is not
intending extensive military activit-
