abdn Carrying Out Tanaka Plan in Euery Detail

IN THE second anniversary Of the
" robber war of Japanese imperial
ism against the Chinese people, any
account Of its events cannot but re-
veal their exact dove-tailing with the
'Tanaka Memorandum" of 1927. This
was a document never supposed to
have been made public. Indeed, jap
anese government officials deny that
such a document ever existed, that
it is, as published by. the revolution
ary press, "a forgery" If so, the
Mikado's generals have, been letter
perfect in carrying out this forgery"
in every detail.
The invasion Of Manchuria was,
when begun two years ago, excused
as due to an "attack by Chinese" who
happened" to become suddenly hos
tile. When Japanese troops advanced
northward beyond the Chinese East
ern Railway, their officers explained"
that it was "just to repair bridge
over the Nonni River" When they
swarmed Southwark across the Great
Wall and into Jehol, Toxic accounted
for this by saying that the Chinese
had provoked" the sensitive generals
commanding the invaders. All ap-
peared to be unforeseen accidents"
Events Follow Tanaka Plan.
But astoundingly enough, each and
every movement, the seizure Of rail-
ways, the building Of new ones be-
tween certain cities. the establish
ment Of the fake independent" gov
ernment Of Manchukuo, even the
tactics and the hypocritic excuses
given, were, one and all, laid down
In this supposed forged" document,
written years before!S In the face
of these cold facts, can Japanese
imperialism still deny that, In 1927,
Baron Tanaka, then Premier, out
lined, in a secret memorandum ad-
dressed to the Mikado, diaboligcal
plan for bloody military conquest,
first of the Far East and later of
the whole world? Will any apologist
come forward now, to claim that all
Japanese military actions in Asia
since September 13. 1881, occurred by
mere chance" and we're not we'll
prepared long before?
What Is important, is not limited
by how far the program of Baron
Tanaka has been put into effect, but
how much Of it remains as the present
plan Of action of Japanese imperial
ISM, and-what the working class can
do to stop it.
Next Step-Against U.S.S.R,
Therefore, let us examine the next
step Of the Tanaka Memorandum
plan, which concerns an attack of the
Soviet Union and further expansion
into Mongolia and China. AS regards
the Soviet Union, the document, after
asserting that, to carry out the seizure
of more territory, Japan must Gin

So far, the firm peace policy of the
Soviet Union, and the vigilance of
the world proletsriat, have defeated
the provocative plans of Japanese,
as well as other imperialists. But
Japanese imperialism persists in pro-
vocations. Every means, fair and
foul, are used to draw the Soviet
Union into crossing swords" with
Japan-or Manchukuo, which is the
same thing. We must therefore,
sound the alarm to all workers, and
call for protest and resistance against
the impending attack on the Soviet

Ruling Class Terror: ALI strikes
are treated as police questions" ;"
Since war began, at any hint of dis
content In munition plants, police
with machine guns are posted within
the factories to watch every move
ment.
In short: The robber war has
brought more hunger, worse slavery!
Two years of war have added a
hellish burden to the always miser-
able existence of the toiling peasants
Of Japan. The feudal landlords, al
lied with the financial oligarchy, with
their underlings of usurers, kule s
and spectators, after unloading the
burden Of crisis on to the peasant
toilers, added the unbearable burden
of war-the sacrifice of blood and
ever mounting taxation. Hundreds of
thousands actually starve. Famine
conditions, with whole families living
on grass and leaves, widely prevail.
Landlords have raised rents Is per
cent each year. And thought food is
higher in the cities, the prices paid
the peasant grower are less than ever,
when the tax-gatherer leaves any,
thing to sell. Rent, for which land
lords are refusing to take produce
and demand cash, takes 25 per cent
Of the peasants crop.
STA Year to Live
Taxes-and since everything is
taxed, the government even making
the peasants pay special taxes to pay
the police for terrorizing them--the
existing taxes are constantly in
creased. Taxes of al kinds, includ-
ing support Of the roober war, take

600 workers, or 40 per cent Of all
workers, are unemployed today in
Japan. Further, there is no unem-
p,oyment or other social insurance,
and though the government is to
spend 1,500, 100000 yen ($1 at current
rate equals 384 yen) for this year,
it appropriates only 100000 yen "to
aid the unemployed"
Wage Cut
Lower Wages: Government sta
tistics admit that since the war be-
gan, the actual wages paid in money
have been reduced IL per cent. But
this is only part OF the wage re-
duction suffered. There was an ad-
ditional indirect wage cut against all
workers, by initiation, OF IL per cent
in only the first year of war, through
higher prices. Figures are lacking for
the second year of war, but prices OF
food and clothing have tremendously
increased. In one month alone, jan
uary 1888, food prices rose per cent!
Women workers, of whom there are
proportionately many, were cut ir
wages more than the men. More
women labor In Japan is actually en-
slayed, kept In barracks under con-
tract with parents. And the highest
wage for women in textile mills ir
