Big working class demonstrations
against the Japanese adventure in
Manchuria took place in Toxic on
the day of the opening of the Jap

U. S. Press Score Japanese
Beating of Consul
Arising out of the beating of an
American consular official by Jap
anese sentries in Mukden, Manchu-
ria, a tense situation is developing
between the United States and
Japan. The American sensational
press yesterday carried scream head
lines like the following:
"JAPS SHEER AT FLAG IN
CURT APOLOGY CHearsts N. Y.
MIRROR.
"JAPS EXPLAIN U. S. INSULT"
McFadden's N. Y. Graphic).
Stimson, seeking to maintain the
agreement with Japan for armed in
tervention against the Chinese Re
volution and the Soviet Union, at
tempted at first to treat the attack
lightly. He demanded an apology
from Japan and adequate punish
ment" of the sentries involved in the
attack. The Japanese replied with a
curt apology. Gen HOMO, the Jap
anese commander in Manchuria. eX-
cused his man, and accused the us.
consular official of affronting the
Sentries.
Say Japanese Offered Only Regrets"
The American chauvinist press is
making much of a report from Toxic
that the japanese did not apologize
for the attack, but merely expressed
regret. The Toxic press has accused
Americans in Manchuria of adopting
a naughty attitude towards the
Japanese. A Mukden dispatch to the
New York Daily Mirror describes the
Japanese apology" as highly pro-
yocative" The dispatch is headed
Jap Military Apologies With STU
died Insolence."
In the meantime, the American
press is retalliating
against the Japanese by an exposure
of the savage terror instituted in
by the Japanese i'm
periaHsts. A Mukden dispatch to
the New York Times reports that
all foreigners in Mukden shave been
subjected for months to the trucu-
lence of Japanese sentries." A Darien
dispatch reports "cvidance of deep
