JAPAN PLANS
TO HIT U.S.S.R.
AT 5 POINTS
Troops In Manchuria
Placed to Permit
Rapid Onslaught
Mobilization On Korea
Border

A Washington dis
patch to Sundays New
York Enquirer admits
further large concen-
tration of Japan e Sc
troops on the Soviet borders.
1t says:
Japanese forces were re-
ported to be deplOyed along
all branches of the Chinese
Eastern Railroad and also in such
other positions that, if necessary,
they could move on the Siberian
border from five directions"
The dispatch attempts to justify the
japanese concentrations by the fact
that the Soviet Union has lately
Strengthened its border garrisons, as
a result of the japanese war moves
on the Siberian frontier. The dis
patch says:
1.-THE reports followed others re-
ceived here last week, describing in
tensive military preparations by Rus
sian trops around Vladivostok, local
point of Soviet interests in the Far
East. Russia was said to have $4,000
troops in the Vladivostok area.
APPARENTLY the preparations have
been counter-balanced by those Of
Japan. The Japanese troops in Man
chdria and Korea were said to be SO
placed that they could move quickly
northwest to Manchui Station, where
the trans-Siberian Railroad enters
Manchuria, to several points on the
northwestern border and to VIadiyo-
stok.''
"After this vicious attempt to
present the Soviet Union in the
role of war provOker, because it has
taken steps to protect its borders
following the Japanese war threats,
the Washington dispatch, which is
clearly inspired by official Wash
ington, is forced to admit:
According to the best informed
sources here, Russia does not want
war with Japan. Also high Off
Gals in Toxic have declared their
desire for peace. They also declare
that their butchery of Chinese
workers in Shanghai and Manchu-
ria is NOT WAR-Daily Worker.
However, Russian uneasiness over
possible loss of the Chinese Eastern
Railroad, due to Japanese domina-
ton of Manchuria, combined with
Russian concentrations on the Sib-
erian frontier, have worked to pro-
duce volanic situation, alarming
to the foreign offices of the West"
The real alarm" of the imperialists
is the fact that the Soviet masses and
their Red Army are clearly deter
mined to defend their soil against the
openly announced plans of the Jap
anese imperialists for the seizure of
the Soviet Far EaSt-just as they
have seized Manchuria from China.

Worker Dies After
Brutal Whipping

Following a brutal beating by

year-old Negro deaf and dumb
mute, died last night in Caddo
Parish, louisiana. The same wires
that reported the action of the
Alabama Supreme Court in up
holding the lynch verdicts against
seven of the Scottsboro boys re-
ported hits fresh crime against
the Negro masses and the whole
working class.
John Wallace, Bullen's hut

whipped. He managed to crawl
back to his hut, with his hair
painted creme, his chest red and

by the Alabama Supreme Court by
a vote Of s to !. In dissenting from
the majority opinion, Chief Justice
John @. Anderson admitted that the
Scottsboro boys had not had a fair
