To secretary OF the navy swanson,
for the following purposes:
''Naval policy is based on

interests, especially the develop
ment of American foreign COM
merce and the merchant marine"
The sharpest arrow of foreign
commerce and the greatest growth
: of the merchant marine point to
the Far East.
JAPANESE imperialism has begun
1.-THE carving up of China on large
scale at a time when American i'm
perialism requires the Chinese mar
ketS as never before. This accounts
for the preparations that are going
on in both countries for war in
the Pacific.
But Wall Street does not want to
let the workers know that it is
building the navy and spending
hundreds of millions for war to
contend with Japan over the control
of China.
These war preparations go on I'M
der the slogan Of Peace in the
Pacific"
The best guarantee Of peace in
the Pacific" says the New York
Herald Tribune, lis an American
navy second to none. Americans
would like to be ideanstic. Blu t

navy equal to the second to none"
Roosevelt from the first day of
his Inauguration has kept his pulse
on the war beats in the Pacific.
He held secret conferences at the
White House with Macdonald, Her.

in the event of war between ia

AS the major war in China, over

dominate, opens up through the

United States contributes $5o,000,000
to the Chang Kai Snek government.
The Japanese counter by bringing

to Inner and Outer Mongolia,

building an army for Just this in
vasion of the Soviet Union. There

taking Of Dolon Nor by General

ofthe Kolchak and Semenov forces.
ROOSEVELT IS cognizant of these
ia frcts and many more outlining
the Japanese plans for war against
the Soviet Union.
We see cleverly -phrased articles
In the American newspapers at

attack against the Soviet Union,
phase of marking time to the war
between the two robbers for the
domination of the Pacific.
The Japanese are not averse to

even to oblige Wall Street. While
Wall Street wants to weaken Japan
by war against the Soviet Union,
the Japanese feel little Soviet ter
ritory, judicially taken, will strength

them a stronger base for the i'm
perialist war
THIS matter of temporarily set
l ing aside the antagonisms be-
tween Japan and the United States
through a war against the Soviet
Union was undoubtedly discussed be-
tween Roosevelt and Viscount Kiku-
jiro Isl1ii during the latters visit to
the White House in May, 1888.
viscount Ishii tried to win Amer
lean public opinion for this idea
through nationwide broadcast over
WIZ and the National Broadcasting
Co.
Remember Japan Is contigu-
Gus to vast country" said Ishii
referring to the Soviet Union,
whose aim Is to subvert and de-
stroy the idea and institutions
which most of the civilized world
considers essen tiaI and even
sacred. Remember, too, that these
regions are also contiguous to
another vast country where chaos
reigns supreme, where lawlessness
is the law and misrule is the rule"
