Chinese troops, Mukden dispatch
significantly admits:
General Amano's japanese bri-
gade arrived at Imienpo today with
out sighting hostile Chinese troops
and proceeded eastward to Hailin."
A Paris dispatch reports that the
French Chamber Of Deputies on Sat-
urday voted 1876 to 20 to approve an
gree ment with CzechoSlovakia
whereby France will guarantee a loan
of $24,O00,000 to be issued by Czecho-
slovakia. Czechoslovakia is one OF
the puppet states of French i'm
| perialiSm on the western borders OF
the Soviet Union. The French i'm
periaIsts maintain huge munition
plants in CzechoSlovakia, Poland and
other border states. French military
officers are in close contact with the
armies of these states. The Japa-
neSe imperialists in their war moves
against the Soviet Union have openly
admitted that they expect these Dor
der states "and other powers"
! Omitted States, France and England)
to join in the attack against the Soy
let Union.
From Rumania, another vassal
state of French Imperialism on the
Soviet border, comes a barage Of
anti-Soviet lies, of Soviet peasants
Fleeing" from the land of successful
Socialist construction into the capt.
talist paradise" of Rumania Cd with
| its severe economic crisis, its huge
army of unemployed, its increasing
mass misery! These lying stories are
similar to the tales being spread by
the Japanese imperialists of "upris-
ings" in Siberia. Their purpose is
to attempt to cover up the robber
aims of the war being prepared
/ against the Soviet Union and to cast
the imperialiSt robbers and murder
ers in the role of "iberators" of the
Soviet masses.
Following the publication last week
in the Soviet press of japanese docu-
mentS calling for an immediate
armed attack on the Soviet Union,
the Soviet government assured the
masses that steps had been taken to
strengthen the Red Army forces on
the Siberian border. An editorial
published by Izvestia on the develop
mentS on the Manchurian border has
been reprinted in the entire Soviet
press. The editorial openly called
the hands of the Japanese imperial
lists. While re-stating the known
peace policy of the Soviet Union, the
editorial warned the imperialists that
the Soviet masses while coveting not
a single inch of foreign soil will not
tolerate the seizure of the tiniest spot
of Soviet soil. The editorial states,
in part:
mo unbiased politician can ig-
more the sympt0matic meaning of
the fact that during the past two
months the japanese government
has not deemed it necessary to re-
ply to the Soviet proposal for
nOn-aggression pact"
Those who conduct the Japa-
nese policy in Manchuria,' lives
tia continues, cannot evade the
responsibility for anti Soviet &C
tivities in Manchuria. We could
cite numerous proofs that these ac-
tiyities are directly connected with
the japanese occupation of Man
churia.
Such are the facts which de-
mand necessary measures for the
protection Of Soviet territory, be-
cause the peaceful policy of the
U.S.S.R. is not a policy Of ignor-
ing facts. Our neutrality does not
in any sense mean the Soviet will
allow anyone to violate the secur-
ity Of our frontiers or to seize the
tiniest spot of Soviet soil"
Walter Duranty, Moscow CORE
spondent of the New York Times,
reports that the present tone Of the
Soviet press, while mot directly hos
tile" is "in sharp contrast to the
extreme reserve Of its earlier COM
ments." This, in itself, is an adj
mission of the tremendous struggle
the Soviet Union has been carrying
| on to maintain peace. Now however
