U. S. Tells Japan Shanghai Is
Not Manchuria.
Declaring that the japanese at
tempt to seize Shanghai presented
an entirely different aspect from the
standpoint of the United States than
did the Manchurian occupation (by
Japan, the Wall Street government
yesterday ordered Japan not to land
troops in Shanghai or blockade the
port or otherwise interfere with the
interests of United States imperial
ism in Kuomintang China. A Wash
ington dispatch reporting what is
practically an ultimatum to the
japanese, adds the significant state
ment:
''This position was made known
officially today as dark news Of
threatening warfare came in from
China"
That the situation Is considered
serious by the Wall Street govern
nent is shown by its publication OF
some Of the secret notes exchanged
with Japan over the Manchurian
occupation. This diplomatic CORE
spondence which was published yes
terday in the imperialist press shows
no real note of alarm or warning on
the part Of the Wall Street govern
ment over the Japanese seizure OF
Manchuria. The acquiescence of the
Washington government on the loot
ing Of Manchuria is in sharp con-
trast to its present alarm and anger
now that the Japanese are directly
challenging Wall Streets financial
interests in Shanghai and United
States hegemony over Kuomintang
China. While Japan confined its &C
tivities to grabbing Manchuria, there
was tacit understanding that
Japan would convert Manchuria into
military base against the Soviet
Union and lead the armed attack on
the Soviet Union from the Far East.
Ignoring the sharp protests Of the
Wall Street government, the Japa-
nese yesterday bombarded the Shang-
hal forts and landed 1000 marines
to reinforce 1000 japanese troops
already in the city. Latest dis
patches report that this japanese
force. is advancing on Chapai, the
native city, from positions in the In
ternational Settlement. An imperial
ist dispatch from Shanghai reports
"Japan decided today to occupy
the Chinese portion of Shanghai,
despite a complete Chinese surren-
der to its demands for cessation OF
the anti-Japanese boycott and
other anti-Jtptnesc activities"
Chinese Workers Fight Betrayal

Kuomintang city government and is

STATIONS against the japanese and

Japan Threatens Break With us.
The Tokyo government is reported
to greatly resent the publication by
the United States of the correspon-
dence with Japan. a threat by the
Washington government to invoke ar
economic boycott against Japan
brought threat from Japan to break
off diplomatic relations with the
United States.
The Japanese have begun the re-
noval of their nationals from the
