JAPAN PLANS new
DRIVE In N. CHINA
Talk Peace in Geneva
War in Manchuria

GENEVA, Nov. 29.--Japanese i'm
perialism, which is participating in
the sham peace" moves of world inn
perialiSm, has completed its plans for
a gigantic new military drive in Man
churia, aimed not only at the recon-
quest of the territory from which they
have been driven by the upsurge Of
the national revolutionary struggle in
Manchuria but at further partition of
China through the armed seizure OF
Jehol Province, Inner Mongolia.
Expose Pacifist Talk
At the same time, the Bolivian gov
eminent has re-assembled its shat
tered army, with the aid of the u. S.
imperiahsts, who are shipping huge
quantities of arms and munitions to
Bolivia, for a counter offensive in the
undeClared war between Bolivia and
Paraguay.
These new developments in the
eyer-grOwing war situation expose
completely the pacifist demagogy
and sham peace" moves of the
bandit imperialist powers in the dis
cusSionS on Manchuria and the war
debts,
That the Japanese preparations for
new drive in Manchuria are well
known to the other imperialist powers
is shown by the action of Colonel
Luther Gulick, head of the U. S. Ma
rines in Peiping, in ordering a concen-
tration Of all foreigners in Manchuria.
Colonel Gulick is reported to have
acted in his capacity as senior COM
mandant of the imperialist troops in
the North China city.
Meanwhile, the tramway workers
of Shanghai are on strike against
new wage cuts in defiance of the
inperialists and their KuOmintang
lackeys, who are doing their best to
break the strike, and have called
out troops against the workers. In
Mukden, one of the strongholds Of
the Japanese invaders of Manchuria,
taxicab men are on strike for wage
| increases and for reduction of work
ing hours to fifteen hours a day.
They have raised the demand for
the withdrawal of Japanese troops.
In Central and South China, the
Chinese Red Armies are again ad-
vancing and have won sensational
victory against the Marking Kuomin-
tang forces in Hupeh province.
Generals War Proceeds
In Szechwan and Kweichow prov
inces the generals war is proceeding
with undated fury and with changing
fortunes. 1t is reported that the allies
Of the hitherto victorious General Liu
Hsiang in Syechwan Province have
deserted to his uncle, Gov. Liu Wen
! hui. thereby putting Liu Hsiang's
forces in dire peril A decisive battle
is impending near the city of Chen
jen. Chang Kai-shek is reported
supporting Gov. Liu.
The Canton clique of the Kuomin-
tang have interpreted that support as
aimed to weaken the Canton govern
ment and have accused u S. in1per-
ialism of seeking to strengthen Chang
Kai-shek by the proposed wheat loan.
This wheat, which is offered by the
Wall Street Government under the
pretext of relieving" the starving
millions of Chinese refugees, is to be
sold by Chang Kai-shek to gain rev.
enue for his war of determination
against the emancipated toiling
masses in the Chinese Soviet districts.
The U. S. Government is aiding that
war by military advisers, munitions
and air experts for the training of
Marking airmen, as well as by direct
armed intervention through its war
