Japan Prepares New Blood Bath
The openly announced plans of the
Japanese militarists for new blood
baths against the Chinese workers Of
Shanghai and other Chinese cities
were pushed yesterday and Saturday
with a series Of terroristic actions by
the Japanese forces in several Chin
csc cities, deliberately aimed at pro-
voking the Chinese masses
In Shanghai, armed japanese ma
rines almost precipitated clash be-
tween Chinese workers and the Jap
anese marines when a group of ma
rineS in an auto truck ran down a
Chinese street railway worker and
callously flung the injured worker
into their truck and started away.
Instantly Chinese workers swarmed
threatingly about the truck. The
International Settlement police was
forced to take action against the
Japanese marines in order to stem
the anger of the Chinese workers.
The marines were taken to the police
station where four of them were de-
tanned The Japanese Government
has sharply protested against their
arrest.
Mass Exodus From Chapel
Daily armed sightseeing excur-
sions'' of marines into the Chapel
district have caused a mass exodus
of workers from that district in fear
full memory of the bestial butchery
Of over 10000 civilian men, women
an dchildren last January when the
japanese carried out a murderous
bombardment by bombing planes,
warships and land artillery against
this unfortified and densely pop
ulated proletarian district.
The entire Third Squadron of the
japanese Navy, which engaged in
that bombardment, is again modified
in the Whangpo River in front of
Shanghai in readiness for the I'M
leashing of the new blood bath
which Japan is threatening to inflict
on the Shanghai masses in her at
tempt to force them to buy Japanese
goods and to discontinue the anti
Japanese boycott movement.
U. S. Imperialists Quiet on
Mobilization
The Japanese flagship 'Idzuma"
arrived at Shanghai yesterday and
took up its former position in front
of the Japanese Consulate in the
International Settlement without pro-
test by the American and British
authorities in the Settlement. 1t
will be remembered that last Jan
uary these powers permitted the
Japanese to use the Settlement as a
base of attack against the Chinese
defenders of Shanghai, at the same
time threatening to open fire on the
Chinese soldiers and revolutionary
workers if they tried to attack the
japanese positions in the Settlement.
Prepare Jehol Invasion
At Peiping, North China, armed
japanese gendarmes raided a board
ing house in the Chinese city and
arrested an anti-Japanese fighter
whom they are holding on unan-
nounced charges. The Japanese COM
mander at Shanhaikwan has re-
quested all foreigners to evacuate
that city by next Saturday. This
move is interpreted as preparatory
for Japan's long-threatened invasion
of North China. On the same day
the japanese puppet state in Man
churia announced its intention OF
invading Jehol Province. Two coll
umns of the troops of the puppet
government were dispatched to Man
churia to reinforce the Japanese
troops which began an invasion OF
the province two weeks ago but have
been held up by the heroic resistance
of Chinese volunteers who are defy
ing the policy of the Marking gov
eminent of passive surrender to the
imperialists.
