Of Japanese Imperialism, the reac-
tionary japanese newspaper "Nichon"
has published a provocative, anti
Soviet series of articles calling for
armed intervention against the Soviet
Union and for the seizure of Siberia.
The articles are captioned japanese
American or Japanese Soviet War
They are written by one Kamaizi,
whom the editor of the "Nichon' de-
scribes as an expert on the Russian
question"
Kamazai chides the Japanese gov
eminent for what he terms its hest
tstion" in actively realizing its plans
for an armed attack on the Soviet
Union. He asks:
Are The Japanese authorities
really hesitating? Now is the best
time to carry out this program. We
must not miss a moment which
will perhaps never come again"
Kamazai clearly states the pro-
gram in the minds of the japanese
fascist-imperialist circles:
eff Japan obtains Siberia II will
be able TO forget unemployment and
economic crisis for ever. The sooner
this program against the Soviet
Union is carried through the better
It will be-"
The Soviet newspaper "Pravda," in
an article headed Down With the
Provokers of War in the Far East
firmly opposes this new attempt to
provoke the Soviet Union and ex.
poses the irnperialist robbed tenden-
cies of the japanese fascist-imperial-
ist circles. Pravda declares, in part
The pogrom article of Mamaizi
whose author has not even built ii
up logically, is the result of the
great difficulties which are driving
certain Japanese imperialist circles
into a blind alley; it is also the result
of the poverty of thought which is
characteristic of the Russian white
guardiSts. Kanaizi has no logic at
his disposal, but his insolence is
therefore all the greater.
On what does this expert on the
Russian Question base his conten
ton that the Soviet Union wishes
to subjugste the whole vorld?" We
could ask where and when the Soviet
Union has ever taken part in an in
tervention against Japan, where and
when the Soviet Union has ever at
tempted to seize part Of Japan, or
indeed Of any territory outside OF its
own frontiers. where and when the
Soviet Union has ever made any at
tack on Japans possessions on the
Asiatic mainland. BY the way. ks
Inaizi, who is it that has occurred
Manchuria? It is the Soviet Union
And, in conclusion, you gentlemen OF
the editorial staff OF tn. "Nichon,
permit us to ask you where and wher
an article even family reminiscent OF
this article of Karnaiz has ever ap-
peared in the Soviet press: Where
and when has the Soviet press ever
appealed for war against Japan
and for the severance of any part
Of Japans possessions, as this pro-
voker and expert" Kamaizi does to-
ward the Soviet Union2 With all
their cleverness, the war mongers OF
the "Nichon" would not be able to
offer a single fact to serve as basis
for the provocative assertions Of
their correspondent, Kamaizi
Stress Soviet Unions Firm
Peace Policy.
This gentleman, whose pen, we may
assume, is paid by those circles which
are thirsting for new adventures, has
quite different ideas. He writes
There is no need to fear that any
one will protest against the indepen-
dence of Siberia
"Pravda' further declares:
The expert OF the "Nichon" writes
with his own untrammeled ignorance
"Therecan be no friendship between
Japan and the Soviet Union because
their ideals are diametrically op-
posed"
We are not prepared TO quarral
about ideals. The contradiction which
