NEW YORK-Appeals have been

JAPANESE

Block Movement Of

Hardin Observers See
Open War Move in
Japanese Act

Furthering their pol
icy Of deliberate provo
cation against the So
Wet Union, the Jap
anese yesterday moved
to prevent the movement of
Soviet equipment over the Chi
nese Eastern Railway toward
the Siberian frontier. The
Chinese Eastern Railway is
jointly owned by China and the Sow
let Union. Much of the moving stock
is solely owned by the Soviet Union.
The japanese puppet government
in Manchuria a few days ago raised
the question that a number of loco
motives and freight trains which had
crossed the Soviet border had been
retained on the Soviet side of the
frontier. The Soviet government ex-
planned that this stock had been tenn
porarily loaned for operation on the
Chinese Eastern Railway. A Darien
dispatch to the New York Times re-
ports:
"The inhabitants Of Hardin be-
Heve that the expected Russo-Japa-
nese clash is likely to result from
today's order of the Chinese presi-
dent of the Jointly Chinese
Eastern Railway to the police to
prevent more locomotive and freight
trains being taken across the from
tier into Siberia. This railroad Of
fetal was selected by the Japanese"
Hand in hand with this latest pro-
vocation against the Soviet Union,
the Nippin Dempo News Agency sent
out dispatches from Tokyo claiming
Soviet troop concentrations on the
Siberian frontier. The dispatch says
that several divisions" of the Red
Army had arrived lin the Far East"
and that heavy guns, airplanes and
tanks were enroute to the frontier Gin
large numbers"
The Soviet government has not
tried to hide the fact that it has
deemed it necessary because Of the
Japanese war moves on the Siberian
border to strengthen its garrison
forces in Siberia. The Soviet govern
ment, however, has denied that it is
carrying out any concentration of
troops.
The Japanese lies about Soviet
troop concentrations are designed to
cover up and Justify" their own ad-
mitted concentration of troops on the
Soviet frontier. The Japanese war
meters are rapidly moving toward
armed intervention against the sue
cessful construction of Socialism in
the Soviet Union.
The reactionary aims of the Japa-
nese imperialists have been brazenly
stated in documents by high Japa-
nese military officers, as well as in
the notorious Tanaka Document of
1927, and in the recent pamphlet
Presenting Japan's Side of the Case"
published by the Japanese Association
in China.

the Soviet Union and the Chinese

giles of the Japanese and Chinese

perhaps in this instance the rabbits
foot worked backwards. You just
can't trust magic not to reverse itself
for some people. Take four-leaf clo-
vers. To the vast majority they bring
good luck, but to little Eva they
bring illness, disappointment and dis
aster, and she would sooner pick poi
son ivy than the treacherous clover.
Then there are the terrible black
cats, the sight of which is fraught
with disaster for so many. With
little Eva the omen reverses itself.
She is cat worshiper and has raised
dozens of black ones. She became
so used to their criss-crossing before
her that it established a sort of i'm
munity. She discovered it once when
black cat saved her life. The an
imal ran across her path and she
stopped to pet 1t just before two au-
tomobiles crashed together and piled
up on the sidewalk at the exact spot
where she would have been passing
If she hadn't stopped to pet the cat.
Our office boy is not so lucky. The
last time black cat ran across his
path he had four fiat tires before the
day was done. True, the tires weren't
so good anyway. but they would have
held up very well If it hadn't been,
for the cat. He has very bad luck
with brooms. too. Every time he is
hit by one he gets arrested for some
thing. Once when he was sweeping
out his fathers store, he hit friend
playfully with the broom. "Oh, don't
do that" the friend cried, "I'll be ar
rested!" And within "a hours he
was riding to Jail in the Black Maria
for speeding. Little Eva says 1t is
a sure sign and that one reason she
hates Homework is that brooms are
such menace. The vacuum cleaner

has helped to keep some Of our best
women out Of Jail. Eva thinks it
would be smart idea for all police
men to carry broom with which to
hit obstreperous gangsters.
Down in the island of Haiti they
have a sweet little custom that Eva
is thinking of adopting. They make
an efigy of their enemies which they
torture with good effect. In order to
make the torture effective they must
get a piece of their enemy to paste
on the effigy. A hair from his head.
a pairing from his toe nail. or even
the dirt upon which he has spat is
sufficient. The witch doctor then
puts curse on the image. and all
that is necessary is to stick pin in
the effigy in the exact spot where you
want the enemy to hurt. The only
trouble is that it doesn't work so
well on Americans. When the Unit
ed States marines went to Haiti the
natives made countless efigies with
which to torture the intruders. who
gutfawed loudly at the spectacle, and
never had single pain. This would
argue that the enemy must be pos
sessed of lively belief in magic be-
fore he could be discounted. but it is
worth trial.
No matter how much common
sense people have, few of them are
free from some form Of superstition.
There are those who swoon If they
sit down to table that has thirteen

ladder without falling in a fit. but
Eva is the only one l know who be-
lieves in every form of balderdash In
existence. Even when the rabbit
foot slips it has no effect on her be-
lief in charms or her vivid respect
for Observation-Disclosures News.
