the dictatorship of the bougeoiSie and the die
tatorship of the proletariat extremely intensi-
flies the danger of military intervention against
the U. S. S. r. From the 18th Plenm Reso-
luton of the c. ~
The present war in China, the growing open
acts of proyocation against the Soviet Union
strikngly confirm the analysis Of the Conmu-
mist International
Under the pressure OF the crisis, Japanese i'm
perialism is waging war on the Chinese masses
The antagonism between the imperialst powers
is sharpening the struggle for the partition
ing of China. There is only one force today in
China which can unity China, which can defeat
the lmperialist partition1ng Of China,-that is
SOVIET CHINA. And the very existence OF tho
Soviet Union, the steady growth Of socialism in
the Soviet Union, is the greatest force and in
spiration to the Chinese toiling masses In the
struggle against imperialist war for the par
titioning of China.
Thus we see that within the sharpening of the
antagoniSmS between the irnperalists looms the
war Of intervention against the Soviet Union,
and the various imperalist expeditions to crush
Soviet China, to destroy the Chinese Red Army.
The imperialst interests Of America and
Japan clash over the Pacific Ocean The strug-
gle between Japan and the U. S. over the Chin
csc markets, the main market of Japan, for the
control of the markets in the Pacific area, is
growing daily. The Japanese war in Shanghai,
threatening the interests of the imperialist pow
ers in Central China, extremely sharpen the
contradictions between the imperialst powers.
But America while preparing to the mi1utest
detail for war with Japan. is within certain
limits willing to support Japan. What Is the
main basis for this support? 1t is the express
sion of the main line of American foreign pol
icy-struggle for leadership In the anti Soviet
out of the Five Year Plans.
The events in Shanghai must not blind one to
the occupation of Hardin by Japan, to the at
tempts to seize the Chinese Eastern Railway
The growing rvalrieS between the imperalistS
in connection with the Shanghai events, the
growing danger of an inter-imperialist world
war, does not change the fundamental fact that
the main danger of war today is that of armed
intervention against the Soviet Union, does not
change the fact, that there exists a united anti
Soviet, anti Chinese Front of all imperialst
powers
We give here few characteristic expressions
from the capitalist press, which bring out the
MAIN danger in the present war situation in
China and the LEADING role of American i'm
perialism in the Anti-Soviet Front.
Thus the liberal World Telegram in its finan-
cial section (no accidenD speaks out: THE
Chinese Japanese squabble, even though 1t de-
selops into war may not be as detrimental as
1T appears. 1t might even stimulate trade bit,
and if Russia becomes involved in minor way
she may be forced to give up her Five Year Plan,
which has caused little concern in this
country" (My emphasis) Indeed the Five Year
Plan has caused concern to Wall Street and
Hoover.
What about the Second Five Year Plan, gen.
tleman?
The New York Evening Post, the organ of
tlolgan, vho errar I'd the conference between
Dover ard Laval, carried dispatch from
Casaeya, that Tor brutal fyanlncss mutt + C n
dased as rarity in the capitalist Pre- s. Its
ezra r5l sent from G3neva wrote "Why not
s-Gte TIE truth, that japan ges victorious not
only in far eastern battles. but here as well, be-
caue the great western nations, behind their
League masks and under their diplomatic cam
outage secretly want Japan installed upon, the
Asiatic mainland, dependable sector of pro-
tective ring around Soviet Russia! What
> Finland, Esthonia, Latva, Lithuania Poland
and Roumania do for conservative Europe In
their function as buffer nations against Soviet
Russia, 1t is argued-and settled for that mat

would perform at the gateway Of the Reds
backyard"
Here we have the whole true. :. A ring
