How y. S. Govt Supports
Japan's WarP rovocations
Against the Soviet Union

Of the future government. only II
the faScists gain control Will the
danger OF war be serious"
This double policy means that
Washington is receiving from the
Japanese government assurances that
the military clique will not affect its
interests in Shanghai and will not
change the existing situation in
Manchuria to the further disadvan-
tage Of American business interests.
s., Now that Stinson has returned
from Geneva, Hoover'S administration
appears to be more certain than
before that in case Of a war Japanese
imperialism will depend upon the
support Of the U. S. A. The State
Department has let it be known that
Frances growing financial difficulties
force her to hesitate before taking all
the risk Of the japanese venture on
herself. .sE
It is emphasized that deliberate
classifying OF the estimates for the
French budget conceals a great def
cit. Also, the credits that have been
extended to Frances allies, especially
Runasnia and Poland, are now 100
per cent frozen, and never will be
repaid. The new government Of
Herriot must take into consideration
these facts before planning a new
financial adventure. t.6 4
All this makes the most irrecon-
cilable irnperialst clique believe that
the war policy OF Japan against the
u. S. S. r not only, will not sharpen
the relations between Japan and
America, but will force Japanese i'm
petialisii to make concessions to
Washington.
department of War
Wild information from washington
that $3.50, 900 soldiers Of the Soviet
Red Army are massed on the Man
cliufian border" is not an accident.
That this information reflects GER
tain policy is shown by the fact that
after the official. denial by the. Soviet
Government, and information even
from the bourgeois correspondents
on the Soviet Chinese border, the
Official government sources continue
to insist on this 25o,oo0 story, adding
that the Japanese have only 100000.
simultaneously, 1t is repeatedly
emphasized that the railroad-tele-
graph along the Chinese Eastern
Railway Is at the disposal of the
Soviet Government. Because of this,
and other circumstances the Soviet
government is too well informed, says
the official source about. what is 60
ing on in Manchuia to be surprised
by an attack and involved in a war.
This is an attempt to prepare first
the justification for Japan's dispatch
Ing new forces to Mancauria, and
second, to assist Japan in placing
the blame for provoking war upon
the Soviet Union.
). Department Of Commerce.
Under present conditions it is worth
noting the fact that the department
Of Commerce prefers to observe
complete secrecy concerning the
shipment of munitions to Japan. 1t
is known that until recently, the de-
partment issued this kind Of informa-
ton, although Of course concealing
the main facts and reducing this ex-
port to ridiculously small amounts.
But even this is now considered an
indiscretion, and stopped altogether
Why2 The official explanation is the
usual one: 1.-THE shipments are so
insignificant that they are not worth
reporting"
Hoover's irnperialist clique under
the cover OF silence is developing its
aggressive plans against the U. S. 8.
