TIE tnIedLeHeu JAPANESE pene-
,stments in North China as the
Japanese continue their inva-
sion of Jehol Province. Naval
officers at Manila have report
ed back that U. S. warships at that
port are ready to sail within less
than "a hours.
Arrest Japan Government Agent
The arrest bv California author
tiles of T. A. Miya, an agent Of the
japanese Government touring this
country, was used to further dra-
Matte the acute antagonisms be-
tween the two imperialist bandit
powers in the developinG war situa-
ton in the Far East. The japanese
Consul General in San Francisco has
demanded his immediate release. de-
claring that machine gun found
in his possession is the property of
the Japanese Government. Miya
has been addressing meetings OF jap
anese in this country in drive to
obtain enlistments for the Japanese
Army.
Chauvinistic demands for further
huge appropriations for the U. S.
Navy were made in Congress yester-
Gay by Chairman Vinson Georgia
Democrat) of the naval committee
and at a meeting of veterans by
Rear Admiral william w. Phelps.
Commandant Of the Third Naval
District; Brig. Gen. Charles Elliot
Warren and Congressman Hamilton
Fish. All demanded new war ex-
penditures. Chairman Vinson. speak
ing on the new bill for a S315, 1000, 900
appropriation for the navy, openly
referred to the Far East war situa-
ton. declaring "the international
situation today is far from reassur-
ing" and charging an increase of
Japanese influence" in the Far East
at the expense of American in
fluence" President-elect Roosevelt
is reported supporting the drive for
huge navy. Significantly. Roose-
velt sent instructions to the U. S.
Amba ssador to France, Walter Edge,
to delete any criticism of the French
population of the war debts from
his WASHINGTON birthday speech in
Paris. BY offering concessions on the
war debts to France and England,
the Wall Street Government is striy-
ing to obtain their neutrality in the
WEI it is instigating with Japan.
Meanwhile, the Wall Street Govern
ment is increasing it's secret efforts
to divert the japanese away from its
spheres of investments and toward
the Soviet borders.
Japan Also Ready
The capitalist war-mongers OF
Japan are also actively preparing
end instigating the new world war.
The "Nichi Nichi' of Toxic reports
that leach and every naval unit has
been made ready for the worst pos
sible turn in the situation" Both
the U. S. and the Japanese Battle
Fleets are thus concentrated and
primed for action.
Build Anti-War Committees
The increasing drive for war on
both sides of the Pacific must be a
warning to the toiling masses of the
U. S. to intensity the struggle against
the capitalist war-mongers. The
tremendous anti-war actions of the
Japanese toilerS must serve as an
inspiration to us in this country TO
build anti-war committees in all in
dustries and neigllborhoods and to
push forward along the road of
struggle that will wipe out capital
ism, the breeder of starvation and
war.
The japanese government notified
the League of Nations yesterday of
its intention to annex Jehol Province.
The French and British delegates to
the League conference at once start
I'd move to abandon discussion on
the Manchurian situation in an at
tempt to block the Wall Street Gov
eminent in its policy of using the
small powers in the League to force
that boIv into active opposition
"7airst Japan.
Red Army Units Greek Japanese
Chinese irreeulars defending Jehol
were engseed in bitter battles with
the invading Japanese army yester-
day. The Chinese defenders are dig
sing in on 250-mile front. Fierce
hand to hand encounters were re-
ported from the Nanling sector,
where the Chinese are reported to
have repulsed eight successive at
tacks by the Japanese. Chinese Red
Army units continue to hold up the
Japanese advance in the vicinity OF
Kailu, northwestern gateway to Je-
hol Province. The Marking Govern
ment continues its demagogic pro-
misses OF armed resistance" to the
Japanese without, however, translate
ing these promises into action.
