JAPANESE IN
IN VASI0N OF
INNER CHINA

Pushing the imperialist plan
for q. new division of loot in
China, for the complete parti-
ton of China and the strangl-
ing Of the Chinese Revolution,
the Japanese yesterday began their
threatened invasion OF Inner China.
Aided by the Kuomintang betray-
ers Of China in occupying the Chin
chow gates TO Inner China, the jap
anese are now pushing on to the city
of Shanhaikwan, inside the Great
Wall in China. The counter -revolu-
tinoary Marking government IS again
aiding the Japanese advance, offer
ing not the slightest resistance to the
movements Of the Japanese troops.
Japanese cruisers and troop ships
have already landed strong naval and
military forces in Shanhaikwan and
in Tientsin, further south A con-
siderable Japanese force Is in occu-
patton of the territory between Shan
haikwan and Tientsin. Japanese de-
stroyers have been dispatched to the
city of aFoochow on the pretext of
the killing OF two japanese by angry
Chinese workers protesting the JAP
anese seizure OF Manchuria and the
murder Of thousands of Chinese work
ers and peasants by the Japanese. An
invasion Of Jehol Province, Inner
Mongolia, is also threatened.
The japanese invasion Of Inner
China is evidently being carried out
with the approval and sanction of
the Wall Street, French and British
inperialist bandits under the agree
nlent for the partition Of China and
war on the Soviet Union. These pow
ers have made no protest against the
entry of the Japanese into Inner
China. The United States, France,
England and Italy have strong forces
in Inner China. They will no doubt
soon create a pretext for joining in
the attack on the Chinese masses.
Aimed at Chinese Soviet Government
This attack is aimed at crushing
the mass anti-imperialist, anti-Kuo-
mintang movement, and destroying
the only stable government in China,
the First Provisional Government of
the Soviet Republic of China. 1t is
aimed at settling accounts with the
Chinese Red Army which has three
times beaten back the attacks Of the
Marking lackeys of imperialism, even
though the Marking troops were arm
ed by the ifnperialists and aided by
their gunboats on the Yangtze and
other Chinese rivers. The attack on
the Chinese Revolution Is a prelude
to armed intervention against the So
Wet Union.
U. S. Consular Officials Beaten
BY Japanese Sentries
A United States consular official,
Culver B. Chamberlain, was attacked
and severely beaten up on Sunday
By Japanese sentries in Mukden.
Chamberlain was proceeding to the
railway station in a motor car flying
the American flag and with the
American Consul Generals coat Of
arms prominently displayed when
his car was stopped by the sentries.
The attack on Chamberlain Is boil,
symptornatic Of the general terror
instituted by the Japanese in Man
churla and OF the antagonistns
aroused among the Japanese military
forces as result Of the hypocritical
maneuyers of the United States and
Japanese governments over Stimson's
fake protests" against the Japanese
occupation Of Chinchow.
While the American imperialist
press is making much of the attack,
Washington officials have comment
ed on it in the most casual way. A
Washington dispatch to the New
York Times indicates that the Wash
ington officials do not consider the
incident sufficiently serious to mem
ace the secret understanding between
Japan and the Wall Street govern
ment for armed Intervention against
the Chinese Revolution and the
Soviet Union. In any case, they feel
that the incident will offer good
pretext should the occasion arise
and should Japan cease TO cooperate
with American ifnperialist policy.
U. S. Gold Aids Rape of Marchuria.
The United states is not only CIV
ing tacit and open support to the
Japanese seizure of Manchuria, but
American gold is financing the war
ON the Chinese masses. This adrnig-
