area Of a basis for military opera

Further, the robber-war which
was commenced in 1881 is being
continued without the covering
mantle of the League of Nations.
But up to February "a, the ia
paneSe robber- war-thiS is an I'M
disputable fact-enjoyed the plain
and obvious liberation of the &C.
neva institution.
The fact is, every meeting of the
League Council has synchronised
with a military operation on a
grand scale in the Far East. The
League of Nations met-when Muk-
den was being bombarded. 1t held
a special meeting in October-When
Manchuria was flooded with ia
paneSe troops. Under the chairman
ship Of Aristide BRAND, the League
Council met once again in Novem-
ber-when Tsitsihar fell into the
hands of the Japanese. The month
of March saw the opening of a new
meeting-and at the same time
Shanghai was bombarded. In Sep
TENDER 1892 discussion was still 60
ing on in Geneva about Japan and
China. In the meantime, the new
State of Manchukuo was formed
under the protection of Japan. In
December fresh discussions took

rlIary meeting of the League of Ma
tions-the japanese invade Jehol,
the town Of Kailu goes up in
flames.
The events of February "a are,
however, of very great Importance.
For-let there be no mistake about
tive have already entered on the
period Of a big war in the Pacific.
The offensive in Jehol has COM
menced; fighting has already taken
place. Japan has recently imported
enormous quantities of war mate
rial and weapons, supplied by vi
ckerS, Armstrong and Co. The ia
panese press reports that the Navy
is being held in readiness and that
enormous nationalist demonstra-
tions in Toxic are demanding the
continuation of the offensive.
POSITION OF U. S. A.
This time however, there is a
snag: Washington is no longer con-
tenting itself with looking on and
sending diplomatic notes. Ameri-
can Imperialism, If it does not wish
to endanger its positions in the Pa
eific, cannot possibly allow Japan
a free hand in continuing its war
adventure. The Admiralty in Wash
ington has put forward the date of
the American naval maneuverS,
which are to take place along the
coast of China. The American fleet
is ready to weigh anchor at any
moment, and rumors are already

in circulation that the 31st Infan-
try regiment is to be dispatched to
China.
In order to master the Japanese
rival, President Roosevelt is advo-
eating the setting up of an, anti
Japanese united front. He has al
ready discussed his project with
representatives OF the big Powers.
LESSON TO WORKERS
February "a has also another les
son for the workers. 1t has proved
that the imperialist Powers observe
and obey the great principles" of
the League of Nations only so long
as these great principles" serve
their interests. If the League had
forbidden Poland to seize the capt.
tai of Lithuania and Upper Silesia
by force, if the League had raised
its protest against the lombard
ment of Corfu by the Italian fleet,
against the occupation of the Ruhr
area by the French troops, against
Great Britain's robber- campaign in
Egypt and Frances robber-cam-
paign in Morocco and Syria, then
Poland, Great Britain, France and
Italy would long since have turned
their backs on the League of Ma
tons.
Contrary to the stupidity blind be-
levers in the League of Nations,
this episode must be regarded as
further confirmation of that cri-
ticiSm which the international
Communist movement has for years
leyelled against the Geneva insti
tuition of the imperialist war-mon-
gers. In addition, however, we must
not forget that war is already
raging and that another is ap-
preaching with terrible rapidlty.
Never was it more urgent than now
to rouse the vigilance of the work
ers.

this ship American ImperialisCs ex-

NAILS AND BIG
BUSINESS 7 AK E
TIGHTER CONTROL

BERLIN, April THE biggest
German capitalists today pledged
support to the regime of their repre-
sentative, Hitler. The Executive Com
n1ittee Of the Federation of German
Industries, which includes the great
industrial barons of Germany, met
under the Craftsmanship of Krupp
Won Bohlen, and unanimously adopt
ed a resolution welcoming the de-
cision" to reorganize the Federation,
and expressing readiness fully to
support the laborsp of the Hitler gov
eminent. To make such reorganiza-
ton easier, the entire executive has
resigned.
The reorganization of German in
dustry is pretext for the further
consolidating Of business in the
hands of the big monopoly concerns.
Under fascism, we thus find an APP
parent more direct control of busi-
ness by the state, but with it, actu-
ally, more direct control OF the
state by big business.

this camp, two Communist

One of the local leaders of the So

this point to think a little and to

Of nothing more than obedience to

What did he yell? Then, no doubt,

t. animation to lay hold of living

At the same time the 88-year old
Finance Minister, Takahashi, has Of
fered his resignation. It is believed
that a national emergency" dicta-
torship will remain in power even if
the present cabinet resigns.
The recent announcement Of wide
spread arrests of Japanese Commu-
nists showed that the Communist
Party OF japan has made rapid gains,
not only among the workers and
peasants, but in the army, among the
students, the professional classes, and
the government employees. With the
financial strain Of the war against
China, and the unbelievable impover-
1shment Of the peasantry and prole-
tariat, the japanese government is
attempting to strengthen its dicta-
torship in order to meet a new revo-
lutionary wave Of strikes.

WAR-TALKl No one wants it
now. And they have been saying so
for years. And yet, so long as the
old law, which wills that same
causes be followed by same effects,
holds good, our interest in war must
be, not thing of the past, but of
the present and future. Unless, of
course, we turn round and begin
attacking the causes themselves!
Be that as it may, and coming
to my story, the subject of War
had its interest for a group of Of
ficerS sitting that day in the peace
full atmosphere of cafe, that we'll
known heavy atmosphere, woven Of
coffee and tobacco fumes.
This was in Antilles, few years
ago, when the town-one of the
loveliest and most picturesque of
all towns on Mediterranean shores
had not yet been disfigured by
the demolition Of the old ramparts,
by builders plots in the central
square, and was not then yisibly
smeared over with SPECTATORS
blight.
One of the officers sitting there.
by name Lieutenant Beranger, of
the Bird Antilles Infantry, was wax
ing sentimental about his fighting
days, talking about them to mis-
companions, two majors. Lieuten-
ant Beranger's recollections were
tinged with a certain pride. And
well they might be--for he was
boasting how he had finished off
some wounded Germans with the
butt end of a rifle.
But Battalion Commander Mathis
in charge Of Cagnes Camp, had
two more stripes on his sleeve than
the Lieutenant. And so, as was on
ly right, his story went one better.
1t was the other major-he be-
longed to very different class Of
men-who treasured up his noble
confessions:
Il was captain then" said Ma
this, commanding battalion dur
ing the February offensive round

oners were captured In the Powder

A settlement was reached today.
according to press reports, in the
Northern Irish railway strike. The
dismissed section men are to be re-
instated but no final agreement
seems to have been reached on the
question of wages. The strike, which
was the answer of the railway work
ers to a threatened wage cut of 10
per cent, has been magnificently
fought for ten weeks, despite treach-
cry on the part of the bureaucratic
trade union leaders of the MUIR,
who were more afraid of the strike
spreading into Southern Ireland or
England than keen to win it in
Northern ireland.

Comrade Vivo and Comrade Joa-

League, and the International Labor

to Cuba demanding the release Of
these two working class leaders. The
