Japan must pursue firm policy with
regard to the Soviet Union, policy of
being in a position to begin war at any
moment. The cardinal aim of this war
is not so much to keep Japan from Com
munism, as to secure possession of the
Soviet Far East and of Eastern Siberia"
Another document reads:
Taking in consideration the condi-
ton of the armed forces of the Soviet
Union and the situation in the foreign
countries, the Japanese-Soviet war must
have speedy start. We must realize
that as time passes, conditions begin to
be more favorable for them. / deem
it necessary for the imperial govern
ment to pursue policy calculated a
an early start of war against the U. S.
S. RI
The same document states further:
'It is quite possible that despite our
strategy of delivering a crushing blow
and of bringing the war to a speedy
end, we will not be in position, due to
various circumstances, to conduct the
war according to schedule. This gives
rise to very important question of the
moment of termination of our military
operations. We will, certainly, have to
bring our forces to the Baikal lake. Re
garding, however, our further advance
towards West, same must depend upon
the general set of circumstances, which
will be created at that time; particularly
will it depend upon the condition of the
Powers which will set out from the
West. In that event, should, Japan
stop on the line of the Trans Baikal
railroad, we will incorporate the whole
Far Eastern region in the Japanese En-
pire. On this territory our army will
have to remain in military settlements,
meaning for a long time. After hav-
ing accomplished this occupation, we
must be prepared to await the further
development of events. Since it will
be difficult for Japan to deliver mortal

NEW YORK.-Despicable whitewashing Of the
Murphy regime, its connection with the Ford
murderers who cold-bloodedly slaughtered four
unemployed workers in the Ford Hunger March
on March has now become one of the major
tasks of the socialist party shown by the latest
issue of the New Leader"
This historic event OF the brutal attack Of the
capitalists against the hungry jobess masses, is
stuck away by the New Leader in short, vi
cious article at the bottom of page of its
March 18th issue.

creasing with the spreading of the Jap.
anese influence in Manchuria. We could
point out to several indications of the facts
that the aggressive work of the white
guardists in Manchuria is linked very
closely with the japanese occupation.
1t is needless to say that the white enn-
igrants speak of it quite openly. Reports
of the role of Japan, as protector of the
anti-Soviet activities of the white guard
lists, can be read in literally all the enigrs
organizations in Paris. AS fas back al
January the ''Vozrojdienie' wrote: ''The
Japanese leaders were stressing repeat
eddy, that they are pinning particular
hopes on those Russians, who are hostile
to the Soviet Union" Even foreign OBJ
servers have pointed more than once to
the connection between the Japanese plans
and the intrigues of the white guards.
Thus, for instance, the New York Herald
Tribune wrote the following at the end
of January:
''The fact of the enthusiastic reception
given the Japanese by the white guards
upon their arrival at Hardin, leads to be-
lieve that Japan has given secret promises
to these ever hopeful men,"
The Paris correspondent of the "Ber-
liner Boersenzeitung' reported on the 2Sth
of February:
''The white guards have achieved a
great deal: A new source of trouble on
the Soviet border has been created" We
may finally quote the opinion of the semi
official Japanese paper of Darien, ''Mansu-
hippo" which underscores that ''the white
guardist movement became particularly
lively from the moment the new Mani
churian government was organized
Such are the facts, the sober appraisal
of which speaks o. the increase of anti
Soviet tendencies in the Japanese-occupied
Manchuria Such are the facts which re-
quire vigilance and precautionary meas-E
ures for the protection of the territory of
the U.SS.R. against attempts at INVASION
from the outside.
The peaceful policy of the Soviet Union
is not, however, policy of ignoring facts.
We have repeatedly pointed out that the
Soviet Union will not yield to provocations
and that, at the same time, the U.S.S.R.
will xpose and smash al such provoca-
tions being prepared and directed against
it. The Soviet Government has been, is.
and will keep on, pursuing a firm policy
of peace and of non-interference with the
events occurring in China. But never shall
this be an indication that the Soviet Union
will permit any one to violate the borders
of the country, to invade it's territory or
to seize even the least part of the Soviet
land.

blow to the Soviet Union by means of a
war in the Far East, we must develop
a strategic propaganda to involve the
Western neighbors and other powers in
a war against the Soviet Union and to
bring about an internal breakdown of
the Soviet Union by means of utilizing
white guardist groups in and out of the
Union, national minorities and all anti
Soviet elements. The present situation
of the Soviet Union is quite favorable
for our realization of these aims"
And finally another item in the same
vein:
Surveying the general situation of
that country, we may conclude, that the
Soviet Union is at present in no posi-
ton to conduct war. This moment is,
therefore, particularly favorable for our
Empire to solve the problem Of the Far
East. The Western powers bordering
on the Soviet Union poland, Rouma-
MAJ, can now come out together with
US, but this possibility of joint action
grows weaker year after year."
These documents may perhaps be
judged as expressions of personal opinions
of their authors. But these authors Of
aggressive plans are persons of authority
to such an extent, that even their persona
opinions carry serious political weight
and compel us to serious watchfulness and
attention with regard to everything tax,
ing place at our Far Eastern borders.
No impartial political figure will ignore
the symptomatic meaning of the fact that
within two months the Japanese govern
ment did not deem necessary to reply tc
the Soviet Union proposal of a non-aggres-
sion pact.
Exceedingly characteristic are also the
Japanese anti-Soviet intrigues in the mat
ter of fisheries. The campaign created by
some quite influential Japanese spheres
around the problem of fisheries has as
it's aim the wrecking of the fisheries con-
vention, the preservation of which the
Soviet government considered and still
considers as absolutely necessary. This
campaign has nothing to do with the ques-
ton of fisheries, but is an expression OF
the aggressive plans of those Japanese
circles, which would like to have free
hand in the Far Eastern waters in order
to further enlarge their "broad plans OF
conquest"
1t is also apparent that the inspirers OF
the Japanese policy in Manchuria cannot
shed the responsibility for the anti-Soviet
actions of the white guardists who sud,
denly came to life. The Japanese ruling
circles, protesting their ignorance OF
the actions of the white guardists in Man
churia, will not be able to deny the fact
that the activities of the white guardists
became particularly lively precisely after
the occupation of Manchuria by the JAP
anese army and that they keep on in

as 1903, building for an arsenal was
designed by George Hadfeld, one Of the
architects of the Capitol. He drew the plans
for the residence of Commodore David Porter,
which stood about on the site Of the Meridian
Mansions, 2400 Sixteenth street. surrounded
by Ito acres which extended from Florida
avenue then Boundary street, to Taylor's lane,
now Columbia road
Mr.. Hadfield also designed the court house,
the Washington assembly rooms, erected by
Lewis Carusi, at Eleventh and C streets north
west; the branch banks which occupied the
site of the present Riggs National Bank, the
old Washington jail and other buildings.
Chalmers rope factory, 1t Is said, was near
the barracks, where a small detachment OF the
Regular Army was stationed and where In the
year 1903 building for use as an arsenal was
erected. Mr.. Bryan tells US:
ITO the Washington Arsenal were brought
as distributing center guns from the Govern
ment manufactures at Harpers Ferry and
Springfield and cannon from the Foxall
foundry near Georgetown as well as armament
that had seen service. Men were employed to
mend and clean guns and TO provide fittings
and carriages for the cannon
Perhaps the first real effort at fortifying this
point was made in 1913, when the construction
of earthworks was begun to mount battery
Of heavy guns. Furnaces were also built at
this time we are told, to supply the guns with
redhot balls, in order to give the British a
warm" reception should they attempt TO reach
Washington by water But the latter were
perfectly satisfied to stop at Alexandria, with
the fleet that came up the Potomac and
marched overland from another direction to
wreak their havoc upon the Federal city and
though the Arsenal did not participate in a
defensive way, yet it materially contributed to
the enemy slain on that memorable August a.
1914
A T this time, the population of the entire
District estimated at 20, 200, which
included the City of Washington, what was
then the County of Washington Georgetown
and Alexandria County which included the
City Of Alexandria.
Naturally Immediately after entering the city,
the British sought out all the military stores
to destroy them and it was in doing this that
many were slain at the Arsenal DR. James
Ewell, Capitol Hill practicing physician at
the time, cared for the wounded and IN his
recollection tells the following story Of the
explosion
There were also Al of the British soldiers who
were most miserably mangled by the terrible
explosion at Greenleafs Point the greater
part OF whom would certainly have pershed
as the Government made no provision for them
until after the third day, had it not been for
the admirafs gold which by immediate
Tansmutation into sugar coffee, tea, milk rice,
arrow-root, bread meats, vegetables and fruits,
was early applied to sustain their exhausted
frames.
