THE SOVIET UNION AND JAPA n

posed before the whole world. The policy
of non-interference and of peace preserva-
ton pursued by the Soviet Union received
a universal endorsement even on the part
of the opponents of the Soviet land. This
policy of the U.S.S.R. received finally the
recognition of the Japanese minister of
foreign affairs Yoshisawa, who stated in
the parliament that Japan recognizes the
fact of the strict non-interfernece on the
part of the Soviet Union.
Nevertheless, we are witnessing a fur
Their revival Of anti-Soviet intrigues in
Manchuria. We are witnessing a whole
system of provocative measures, the i'm
portance Of which must never be under
estimated. An abnormal situation is
arising on our Far Eastern borders, re-
curing our serious attention. An Illus
tration of this unhealthy state Of affairs
is the publication today of bulletin of
the Japanese ministry of Foreign affairs.
This bulletin was based on a communica-
ton of the Japanese consul general in
Vladivostok, who in turn, apparently from
lack of other sources, is referring to a
reputable foreigner" The character of
this communication, based on unfair in
ventions and combining apparent false
hoods, betrays it's specific aims. On the
basis of that communication alone there
is no need to refute all the provocative
stories about the imminent Soviet-Jap-
anese collision, since, according to that
reputable foreigner ''the Bolsheviks
hate the japanese" just as it is unneces-
sary to expose the lying stories about the
concentration of a Soviet army of 100000
in the region of Vladivostok.

MOORE than five months passed since
IVA the time the Japanese army occu-
pied Mukden, the capital of Manchuria,
and when an ever broadening military
conflict flared up in the Far East. From
then on, each succeeding day brought a
further sharpening of the Far Eastern
situation each telegram bore witness to
the importance and to the gravity Of
events there. Naturally, the public Opin-
ion of the Soviet Union is following the
trend of events with keen interest, par
ticularly because some Of these events
unfold themselves on the very borders Of
the U.S.S.R.
From the very first days Of the Far
Eastern conflict, the position of the us.
S.R. was one of strict neutrality. The
sympathies Of the toiling masses Of the
Soviet Union are with the Chinese people,
suffering under the heel of the imperialist
exploitation. But these feelings towards
the struggle of the Chinese workers and
peasants for liberation, while an unques-
tiOnable fact, did not violate the line of
non-interference, which follows naturally
from the general peace policy Of the So
Wet Union. Thanks to this consistent
policy of the Soviet government with re-
gard to the events in Manchuria, the pro-
vocative and slanderous anti-Soviet at
tempts collapsed one after the other. 1t

How theSocialists Support Murphy

the socialists who supported the election of the
Murphy regime, goes to particular pains to aid
Murphy the killer of unemployed workers, to
try to clear himself of the blood of the murdered
workers. Not one word is said in Levinson's ar
ticle about the connection of Murphy with Ford,
about the fact that Ford loaned Murphy $4,000
600 with the proviso that unemployment relief
be cut down-and that Murphy with socialist
supporO fully complied with this policyl
The article by Levinson, almost word for word
is a REPETITION of Murphy's apology which he
sent out in kilograms to all the workers organ
izations that protested against the Murphy
Ford murderers The New Leader now appears
as the official opologist for the Murphy regime.
This is no accident whatever. Soon after Muir
phys election, Norman Thomas, socialist sky
pilot leader went to Detroit and held a confer
ence with Murphy, pledging him socialist aid.
an dpraising him in an article in the New Leader.
When Murphy cut relief in accordance with the
wishes OF the big bankers, the socialists re-
manned silent to protect Murphy and to help
him starve the workers SO that Ford and other
automobile magnates could save taxes and in
crease their profits.
The very beginning of the New Leader" ar
ticle is intended to hide the role of the Hoover
as well as the Murphy regime against the I'M
employed. 1t reads:
''The Hoover policy of playing ostrich amid
the suffering of the country's millions Of I'M
employed reaped one of its inevitable results
this week"
Every worker knows that the Hoover policy is
not an ostrich" policy. Hoover has very much
wide awake, mperialist open brutal policy, fully
aware of the misery of the masses Hoover began
the policy of putting forward the plan Of calling
upon the United States army to be modified to
handle relief at the point of bayonet. The
socialists now seek to wash Hoover Of blame also
by claiming he "can't see" the problem of unem-
ployment, that he is playing Ostrich" and that
If he didn't, of course, the socialists reason, no
workers would be shot down.
The article does not even mention the word
Communist. 1t hides the fact that the DEM
Onstration, demanding jobs or bread, to whcih
over 5000 workers rallied was under Commu-
mist leadership; that two young Communists
we're shot down. leading the struggle. Not being
able to blame the Communists las Murphy and
Ford are trying to dol because hungry workers
were shot down by Ford private gunner, the
socialists simple don't say anything, calling ON
the workers to follow the socialists who by
their support to Murphy opened the way for
such vicious murders.

is again branded az o-le CT tle main apoogists

But this is not the only circumstance
which interests us at the present moment.
We are most of all interested in the fact,
that the Japanese political heads get the
material necessary for true appraisal of
the situation in the Far East from poison
ed wells, instead of paying due attention
Ito facts. These facts speak on one hand
of the consistent peaceful policy of the
Soviet Union, and on the other hand they
speak of trend of events which compells
every adherent of true peace to stop and
take notice.
A careful analysis of the facts, which
we are about to present, shows, that the
situation which confronts the Soviet
Union in the Far East, compels it to the
fertilization of its defenses and to the
protection of its borders. This, of course,
we do not even intend 10 hide. The So
Wet Union, whose peace policy is both
open and consistent, has no reason to hide
from the masses its appraisal of the sit
uation in the Far East. And this appraisal,
this honest analysis of the situation shows
that the least the Soviet Union can do
at this moment is to take all the neces-
sary and possible means towards protect
ing its borders from outside aggression.
And indeed, don't the facts speak of
lit? Don't we notice within the last months,
weeks and days most serious growth of
Ianti-Soviet provocations? We must not
dismiss the fact, that quite responsible
Representatives of the Japanese military
circles are openly speaking of an attack
on the U.S.S.R. in order to tear away the
Maritime and the Trans-Baikal provinces.
We are in possession of documents from
the representatives of the highest mill
tary circles of Japan, containing plans of
attack on the U.S.S.R. and of annexation
of its territory.
The following is stated in one Of these
documents:
