"IzVESTIA"
AGAIN WARNS
JAPANE
Exposes L i e s and
Criminal Provoca-
tons


The Soviet newspaper, "Izvestia,S
yesterday again published a warning
to the criminal japanese war in
citers who are seeking to involve the
world j n another world slaughter.
Under the headline, Chain of Prov
ocation and Deceit" Izvestia bluntly
declares:
1T is perfectly clear that the
campaign of anti Soviet military
propaganda now being carried on
in Japan aims at preparing Japa-
nese public Onion for a further
extension of military aggression.
eve declare for all to hear that
the japanese people are being
duped in order to lead them with
bandaged eyes to meet new catss-
trophies"
"Izvestia" points out that the at
tempt of the Japanese imperialists to
provoke the Soviet Union is clearly
shown in the provocative acts Of
Japanese-inSpired White Guards and
Chinese militarists against Soviet
citizens and property in Manchuria.
"Izvestia" refers also to the wide
publication in the Japanese bourgeois
press of ,anti-Soviet ISLANDERS and
Of bogus interviews with Soviet Off
Gals and in the persistent refusal to
print Soviet denials and explanations.
1t declared that Soviet protests
against Japanese provocative acts
meet with excuses, promises, assure
ances and regrets, but that ill-treat-
ment Of Soviet citizens and the anti
Soviet press campaign grows worse
instead Of better.
The imminence Of a japanese
armed attack on the Soviet Union is
clearly recognized by the imperialist
press, as shown in teh fact that to-
day the bourgeois press is no longer
talking about China and Japan, but
about Japan, and the SovieL Union.
The New York-World Telegram. in
an editorial yesterday admitted the
danger of new world war arising
out Of Japanese aggression against
the Soviet Union. 1t said, in part:
1.-THE Far Eastern situation h
exceedingly grave. The danger Of
world war resulting from Japa-
neSe aggression is greater now
than when Japan invaded China.
"Any day there may be a border
incident" between Japanese and
Russian troops of the sort that can
happen SO easily, either by acci-
dent or design, when armies are
masSed along a frontier. Then
Japan, according TO her own state
ment, would intervene Moscow
charged that Japan is using Gar
list tools to provoke just such an
incident as an excuse for inter-
vention."
The World Telegram also admits
that Japan is banking on the SUPP
port of other impe-ialist powers and
especially Of the yassal states O.
French imperialism. It says.
IF Japan attacks Russia from
tie east, Roumania and Poland
will be encouraged TO attack from
TIE west. That would be a more
EXPOS We incentive to world war
than the murder of an archduke
which started the last World War;"
The World Telegram is also forced
to admit the responsibility of the
United States government for such q
new world slaughter. It says:
I'VE believe the American gov
ernmcS. ard people are opposed to
such war. Eut japan does not
know that. Because we treat Rus
STA as an outlaw, Jar2n apparently
thinks America world welcome, or
at least not object to the Japanese
conquest of Russia. That is a
costly misunderstanding of Amer
icas policy"
The World-Telegram attempts TO
slur over the criminal responsibility
of the United States government for
the war moves of Japanese imperial
ism against the Soviet Union, for
armed intervention against the sue
cessful building of Socialism in the
Soviet Union. The American work
ers must not be deceived The United
States is sending munitions to Japanl
The United States government will
be responsible for the bloody mass
slaughter and misery that will result
from q new world waxs 4v--~--.s
