Inner Mongolia and entering that
province next Spring"
This, workers, is an open invitation
by the U. S. State Department to
the Japanese to seize Inner Mongo-
liza and speed up the preparations
for the armed attack on the Soviet
Union, which can be clearly stated
to be planned for this coming Spring.
1t Is In the Spring that the United
States plans huge joint navel and
military naneuver in the Pacific. The
concentration for this maneuver has
already begun. The Soviet newspa-
per "IzVestia" points out the threat
contained in this Forthcoming ma
peuver to the Chinese Revolution
and the Soviet Union. 1t says, in
part:
The appearance on the scene of
the United States war fleet at this
juRcture clearly emphasizes the
firm determination of American
inperiaIistS not to allow any one
party to raid China without giving
them share of the loot"
ImperiaIists Use White Guards In
Hardin Riots.
The recent riots instigated in Har~
bin by White Guards and Chinese
militarists are part of the plan to
provoke the Soviet Union into war,
just as the irnperialist plot, headed
by the Czech diplomat, to assassi-
nate the Japanese ambassador to
Moscow, was designed to give the
Japanese pretext for declaring war
against the Soviet Union.
The firm peace policy of the Soviet
Union has defeated these designs so
FAR, but the inperialists are deter
mined to make war on the Soviet
Union and will find the pretext.
The rioting in Hardin is a prelude
to the occupation of that city by the
Japanese. Hardin is on the Chinese
Eastern Railway, which is jointly op-
Grated by China and the Soviet
Union. Imperialist press dispatches
few weeks ago openly admitted that
the Japanese were modifying the
White Guard elements for an at
tack on the Chinese Eastern Railway
and for depradations against the ST.
berian border towns.
A Marking dispatch reports that
the Japanese have already begun an
invasion of Inner Mongolia. A Jap
aneSe force is marching from Chin
chow on Jehol Province.
Japanese troops yesterday seized
the city of Shanhaikwan, within the
Great Wall of China. Japanese troops
continue to parade in full wartime
equipment in the workers quarters
of Tientsin. Chinese merchants and
government clerks are reported to be
fleeing to the foreign concessions.
Japanese Planes Murder Chinese
Workers, Women and Children
japanese planes yesterday bombed
several Chinese towns in Jehol Pro-
vince, including Peipao and Tlngliao.
The usual bandit" pretext was Of
fered to justify this outrageous muir
der of Chinese workers, women and
children. The Japanese claimed that
a number of bandits" have fled into
Jehol Province following the seizure
by the Japanese of Chinchow. The
imperialist bandits attempt to con-
ceal their murderous banditry by
branding all anti-imperialist fighters
as bandits" Numerous bands of Red
partisan troops are putting up he
roic resistance against the japanese
invaders in Manchuria.
-Four Japanese expeditions against
the Red partisan troops left Mukden
vest = day, proceeding in the areas
around Mukden, Liaoyang, Sinmin
and Tiehling. At Tiehling, partisan
troops defeated the Japanese and
opened the prison liberating scores
of anti-imperialist fighters whom the
Japanese and their Chinese lackeys
had thrown into jail. Amid the
cheers Of the population they set fire
to the prison buildings. Another sharp
clash between Japanese and the par
tisan troops occurred yesterday five
miles north of Liaoyang. The Jap
anese report 40 Chinese and one jap
anese killed.
The British yesterday protested to
the Japanese against the withholding
OF funds from the Mukden- Peiping
Railway, which is controlled by the
British imperialists. British rail Off
Gals also proceeded TO Mukden yes
terday to negotiate with the Japanese
for reopening through traffic on the
British-controlled railway.
Kuomintapg Traitors Openly Aiding
Partition.
Kuonlintang police in the city of
Foochow yesterday aided the Japan
csc In tearing down arti-Japanese
posters. These have been replaced by
Kuoulintang slogans. The workers are
furious, and demonstrations are be-
ing arranged against the imperialists
and the Kuomintang running dogs.
a Geneva dispatch reports that the
kuoraintang traitors have expressed
their willingness Of placing China at
the tender mercies Of the irnperialist
vultures in the League Of Nations.
This they have already done in prac-
tice, aiding in every way the parti-
