Japanese imperialism with the blood of thousands of
Chinese men, and children the point of
its bayonets is pushing closer towards the Soviet
Union
This widening of the war front against China and
imperialism, the spearhead Of all the imperianst
robbers, against the Union of Socialist Soviet Re
publics demands that the movement of mass pro-
test which has already expressed itself in numerous
mass meetings and resolutions demonstrations and

Of Japanese imperialist army of 100000 In China

between the imperiaist powers. The antagonism,
pecially between the United States and Japan both
seeking booty and colonial plunder in China, have
been intensified, increasing the danger Of world

OF Hoover, Stmson and Borah to annul the naval
agreement a pretext to enforce the Nine-Power
Pact, the strengthening of these prepar-
atons that American imperialism is carrying in

To help this war policy of American imperialism
boycott movement led by the ex-secretary of
Newton D Baker, who "pacfst" played leading
role in pungng the American workers into the last
World War has been started whose aim is to spread
new pacfst illusions among the masses in the face
of the bankruptcy of the League OF Nations and the
Kellogg Pact. The boycott movement supported and
initiated by some Of the foremost agents of Wall
Street. such Kemmerer, Lowell and Baker, is an
effort to facilitate the mobilization of the
behalf Of United States imperialism; to bring pres
against Japan its present bloody conflict
in China, with its experience in saughtering the
Chinese masses in the direction of the Soviet Union.

cot' propaganda is made on behalf of American iin
periahsm and is not directed against the murderous
japanese war which now is slaughtering thousands
of the Chinese people. The hackers of the boycott
are among the leading agents of Wall Street who
themselves have Systematically aided American impe-
ralisfn in pundering the Chinese masses, shooting
down Chinese workers and peasants. Newton D. Baker
