II wonder whether this may not
be the time for the Euolish-speak-

and the stream of Communism"
This is an open call for MINED
late war against the Soviet Union.
A sharp warning on the nearness
of armed Intervention by the imper-
ialists against the Soviet Union is
contained in yesterdays issue of the
Red Star, organ of the Red Army Of
workers and peasants of the Soviet
Union. The Red Star declares that
developments in the Far East clearly
show the attempts of the imperiallsts
TO submerge their differences before
the necessity of establishing united
front for an attack against the Soviet
Union. 1t points out:
Developments in the Far East.
the readjustment Of imperialist
groups resulting from these events
and. finally, the developments at the
disarmament conference. all provide
good material for the education of
our soldiers. BY citing events In
the Far East, we will be able to
explain to them the Development
of capitalistic wars, their causes
and the methods employed. The
positions being taken by the I'M
perialists In the war which Is being
prepared against the U.S.S.R. will
be exposed, and thus 1t will be pos
sible to reach certain conclusions
concerning the character of that
future war"
Polish officers and military attach
IS at Warsaw are reported greatly
perturbed at the poor showing made
by the Japanese Army both in Man
churia and at Shanghai, South China.
They significantly compare the blum
6ering military tactics Of the Japanese
Army with the brilliant tactics of the
Soviet Red Army when In October,
1929, it was forced to defend the Chi
nese Eastern Railway from the raids
Of Chinese militarists In the pay Of
the inperialists. Walter Duranty in
a dispatch to the New York Times
reports that the military attaches
contrast "the preliminary staff work
and the synchronization Of the Soviet
attack and the morale Of the Red
Army with the inadequate prepare
ton, clumsy tactics and low fighting
quality Of the Japanese forces at
Shanghai"
The Polish military officers and
oreign military attaches at Warsaw
Who have been making their plans
or a Joint irnperialist attack ON the
Soviet Union on the basis of the pow
er Of the Japanese war machine find
little consolation in this comparison.
Japan's role in the irnperialist war
plans Is to attack the Soviet Union
on its. Siberian frontiers at the same
time that Poland and the other pup

iers of the Soviet Union.
"The Soviet" Duranty says, has
made no secret of the fact that its
Far Eastern force has been re-
grouped In the Pacific coast region
under General BIuecher- Galen. In
number and equipment they are
really competent, in the opinion of
observers, to repel any attack, not
only of the White Russians, but
such as the regular forces of Japan
could make in the next three
months"
The dispatch admits tn an addi-
tional element Of defensi , strength
provided by the Siberian masses
themselves in the collective farm COM
lnunes and other Soviet enterprises.
Duranty, Like other imperialist OBJ
servers, is forced to admit that the
Soviet Red Army exists only for the
defense Of the Soviet Union against
the imperialist brigands.
In resume of the war at shang-
hal, South China, the Red Star says:
However the Shanghai operations
turn out, one thing can now be said
With confidence: the legend about
~ invincible Japanese Army is
shattersd."
