lists in conquered Shanghai on
Thursday and aimed at intimi-
dating the revolutionary mas
ses of that South China city, bomb
explosion seriously wounded five of
the highest japanese officials who
directed the bestial massacre of tens
of thousands of Chinese workers in
the Chapel district during the Jap
anese bonbardment of Shanghai.
The wounded Japanese militarists
include General Yoshinori Shirak-
ava, commander of the Japanese
army at Shanghai and the gentle
man who justified the Japanese aer-
ial bombing of the Chapel district
With the cynical statement that the
Japanese bombing planes were using
only small bombs"
The two most seriously injured
were Mamoru Shigemitsu, the Jap
anese Minister to China, and Consul
General Kuramatsu Mural. They
were not expected TO live. Admiral
Nomura, commander OF the Japanese
warships which bombarded TIL G

convene a Joint session Of the legis-

the marchers. They said that they
would hear the delegation personally.
The mayor of Waltham who pre-

those who have plenty of money in

against the Soviet Union.
This latest threat OF the japanese
War Minister against the Soviet I'm
ion appeared in an interview printed
in the "Nichi Nichi Shimbun," a
Tokyo newspaper. In the interview,
the War Minister revived the lying
charges that Soviet citizens had par
ticipated in the attempt to blow up
the Sungar RiEer bridge Of the Chin
ese Eastern Railway and in the
wrecking Of a japanese troop train
on the same railway. The charges
were originally made by the police Of
the Japanese puppet state in Man
churia Investigation of the
charges were carried out under the
direction of the White Guard allies
Of the japanese.

A Tokyo dispatch to the New York
Herald Tribune quotes the Japan
csc War Minister as declaring that @if
the reported finding" Of THE Man
chouko Japanese puppet state in
Manchuria-Daly Worker authori-
ties at Hardin, attrlbuting to the So
Wet government the responsibility
for the wreck of a Japanese troop
train on the Russian owned
Chinese Eastern Railway on April
70, should be substantiated, the jap
auese government would have to
lodge a strong protest with the So
Wet government, and that if those
implicated we're employees of the
railway their punishment would be
demanded"
If the report that Russian Com
munists were responsible for the
wreck were true" the dispatch con-
tjnues, General Araki said, Japan
would have to cooperate with the
Manchoukuo authorities in clearing
the territory Of radical elements
threatening to undermine Japanese
rights and interests in Manchm-ia' :"
The interview by the Japanese
War Minister is an attempt to mo-
bilize The japanese people for the
criminal reactionary war plans of the
japanese imperialists At the SAND
time, the War Minister tries to cover
up these plans by declaring in the
interview that even if the incident
should became a diplomatic issue
between Japan and the Soviet I'M
ion it would not lead to any serious
complications as Russia recently has
shown desire to maintain friendly
relations with Japan" The Japanese
War Minister thus admits the peace
policy of the Soviet Union, even
though he lies in presenting it as of
recent origin.
But the japanese War Minister
attempts to hide the fact that the
concentration Of Japanese troops on
the Soviet border, the daily war pro-
vacations against the Soviet Union,
the war Indictment campaign in the
Japanese bourgeois press are all de-
hberately aimed at defeating the So
Wet peace program, at pushing the
Soviet Union into war.
In the meantime, wholesale ar.
rests OF Soviet citizens are
continuing in Mancfuris ON various
pretexts, all aimed at proving the
completely" Of the Soviet Govern
ment in the growing national reYo-
lutionary struggle against the Jap
anese. Sixteen more Soviet, citizens
we're arrested yesterday at Hardin.
The charges this time are that they
we're plotting ito destroy churches,
water reservoirs and public utilities
in northern Manchuria. :"

SOCIALIST DAILY
FORCED 10 QUIT
"Volkszeitung" Ends
Betrayal Career

The New Yorker Volkszeitung, :"
Socialist daily in the German Ian
guage, yesterday announced it's sus-
pension for about three weeks. in
Guiding its weekly edition, "Vor-
waerts." Though the paper stated that
it is suspending to find ways and
means for a reorganization, it is re-
ported that its republication, even as
a weekly, is extremely doubtful
The suspension Of the "Volks-
zeitung" is the result of the growing
rehabilitation of the German workers
in this country who have begun to
realize the true role of this betrayal
organ and to withdraw their support.
The "Volkszeitung' was founded in
1878 by revolutionary German work
ers who were forced by Btsmark'S per-
secution of the young labor move
ment in Germany to emigrate to the
United States. These workers were
pioneers in the American labor move
ment and their paper stood for many
years in the forefront of all the strug-
giles of the American working class.

supported the left wing in the So
cialist Party in its fight against the
patriotic attitude of the official S. P.
leadership. With the foundation of
the Communist Party in 1919, the pa
per became one of the first Commu-
mist dailies in America. When in 1925
its editor, Ludwig Lore, was expelled
from the Communist Party for his
opposition to its revolutionary poll
cies, he transformed the paper into
vicious SANDER sheet against the
Communist Party, the Communist In
ternational and the Soviet Union, at
the same time misleading ten workers
with radical phrases.
Last year Lore had to resign, for
embezzling funds of the Socialist Re-
lief Society, a German workers Or
ganization. From then on, under an
official S. P. editor, the paper openly
promulgated the social-fascist views
which Lore had tried to put over in
yelled way.
