Japan Plots to Set Up
A n t i S owl e t
Mongolia State

SHANGHAI, June 2.-The Marking
government Of General Chang Kai-
shek has begun withdrawing its ar
mics in northern China behind the
Yenking-Lutai "deadline" established
two days ago in the treacherous
Tangku agreement with the Japan
eSe invaders.
Not only is newspaper criticism of
the truce" suppressed, but the Kuo-
mintang government hoping to es-
cape popular wrath against its be-
trayal, has even ordered the press to
praise its action, under threat of for
chile suspension.
Canton MiIitarists Bribed to Support
Chang.
The Cantonese politicians and mil
itarists have been bribed with a
$4,000 contribution" to pay their
troops and buy munitions. General
Chen Chi-tang, head of the Canton
clique, has accepted a Nanking ap-
pointment as bandit suppression
commissioner over five southern
proyinces-which means he will
join Chang Kai-Shek in new attacks
on the Chinese Soviets of workers and
peasants.
u. S. Planes in China to Fight Reds.
The first of eighteen fighting
planes imported from the United
States, bought by popular subscrip-
ton and presented to the Marking
government ''for national defense, "
was put through its PAGES here yes
terday before a large crowd by Ma
jor James Doolittle, ex-U. S. Army
flier The fact that not a single one
Of the governments military planes
has ever been used to resist the Jap
anese invasion indicates that the ma
tional defense" slogan in this case
also is fraud, and that the new
plans will be used solely against the
heroic Chinese Soviet armies.
Feng Recruits Soldiers With Japan's
Aid.
General Shih Yu-San, who since
his revolt two years ago has been
living in Shantung Province under
the protection Of its powerful war
lord, Governor Han Fu-chu, is re-
ported to be recruiting soldiers for
General Feng Yu-hsiang at Chin
wangtao, obviously with Japanese
permission since that area is occu-
pied by the Japanese. This report
if true, makes it certain that Fengs
intrigues at Kalgan, in Chahar Prov
ince, for an "anti-Japanese" revolt
against Marking are actually spon-
sored by the Japanese militarists, who
find him a willing tool.
Feng's ambition to become over
lord Of North China under japanese
patronage received a check yesterday,
however, when At North China gem
erals issued a circular telegram de-
nying support to him. The Cantonese
compromise with Marking was ex-
planned partly on the ground that the
Canton faction found Feng's finan-
cial demands too heavy, but chiefly
because Of agreement on joint action
against the Chinese Soviet areas.
Japanese Plan Drive West to
Soviet Area
The japanese are expected to use
large part of their $4,000 troops, re-
leased by the Tangku truce, in new
drive westward into Inner Mongolia,
where they have been intriguing for
months for the support of the Mongol
princes.

ganized a pan -Mongol" movement
designed to undermine the Chinese
authority and set up a new japanese
puppet state called ''NTongokuo"
c'Nfongol country'O, similar to Man
chukuo ("Manchu country").
Mongolia AS Base for War on Soviet
Union
The major purpose Of this new in
vasion would be to establish an ad-
ditional place Of arms" or military
base, for an attack on the Soviet
Union. Inner Mongolia borders, for
hundreds of miles, on Soviet Outer
Mongolia, which is closely allied with
the Soviet Union. Moreover, a Mon
gokuo" under Japanese hegemony
would constitute a buffer state be-
tween China and Russia, cutting off
all land communication except
through Sinkiang in Central Asia.
Thus Mongolia, after seven centuries
Of obscurity since Genghis Khan's
hordes swept out of it to conquer
most Of the known world, may again
become the center of a world conflict.
