The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1932-02-23

The dispatch admits that "a spirit
of extreme caution" and care against
Japanese imperialism has
settled over the deliberations OF the
League Of Nations on the Chinese
1t says:
This caution rises from the GER
tainty that the big Powers are I'M
willing to take active measures
against Japan. But this is only one
way of saying that Great Britain
is unwilling. The British cover >
themselves by saying that Wash =.
ington is equally unwilling. With
the small Powers pressing the
large ones to do something to dem
onstrate the reality of the League
of Nations, the Assembly will prob
ably be the greatest festival Of
passing the buck that the world
has ever witnessed.
"Unless Japan deliberately pro-
vokes war with Great Britain and
America it can be taken as inevita
BILE that the big Powers will not
find Japan guilty Of anything
which brings Article XVI of the
League Covenant and the sanctions
Of the article into play.
e. At the risk Of letting Japan
have free run in China, at the risk
or even the certainty Of future
war between the East and West
Geneva leaders are convinced that
it is wiser to pursue a cautious
course today"
The imperialists are NOT letting
Japan have free hand in China, ex-
cept in SO far as the Japanese ag-
gressions do not conflict with the
interests and desires for loot Of the
other imperialist powers. The United
States, England, France and italy
now have huge armed forces at
Shanghai and large numbers Of var
ships up the Yangtze River. What
is happening in China today is al
ready a joint armed Intervention Of
the imperiahst powers against the
Chinese Revolution, with the Jap
snese inperialists acting as the
spearhead in the mwderous attack
on the revolutionary Chinese masses
The League Of Nations is now
using the betrayal Of the Chinese
people by the Kuomintang TO justify
It's present course. The Geneva dis
patch cynically declares:
Since China herself has not
acknowledged that war exists and
keeps her charge d'sffaireS at
Toxic, the League would hardly
force formal war upon her"
Workers. The war preparations
are directed primarily against the
Soviet Union and against the Chin
csc Revolution. The Geneva dis
patch above quoted plainly shows
that the imperialists are attempt
ing TO overcome their antagonism5.
are trying to maintain the united
front for the partition Of China
and armed intervention against the
Soviet Union in whose successful
Socialist construction lies the only
hope for the toiling masses Of the
whole world.
