S the threat of japanese military attack on the
IA Soviet Union becomes more menacing every day,
the New York Times prints editorial which is
cunning attempt to place the responsibility of the
grave danger in the East at the door of the Soviet
Government.
The "firmness" of the Soviet policy in the Far
East hints the N. Y Times in contrast to its failure
to concern itself with the humiliation of the Com
munist Party in Germany, has been a severe i'm
parchment of the sincerity Of its foreign policy The
Soviet Government hopes for still more profitable COM
vnercial relations with Germany Nothing could be
done to inlperil them"
Behind this distorted vicious logic deliberate
attempt to dscredit the peace policy Of the Soviet
Union which has stood unshakably against the most
damnable indictments of which imperialist govern
ments capable.
1t is the itching desire to the Soviet Union
drawn into the vortex of that beats violently
beneath the studied austerity of the New York Times
editorial
The editorial of the New York Times is a double
stab-a stab against the peace policy of the Soviet
Union in the Far East, and stab against the Soviet
policy in the world fight against Fascism.
The irony of the matter is that the N. Y. Times,
TO bolster its arguments against the peace policy of
the Soviet Union must weep glycerine tears for the
heroic Communists of Germany who

Is it true, the N Y. Times hints, that the Soviet

puppet State of japanese imperialism, be used
the military base for attack against the Soviet Union?
Has it forgotten that the Soviet Unon has per-
sisteny sought to maintain peace with Japan by offer
ing to sell the Chinese Eastern Railway, the main
pretext being used by the Japanese mperiaIists
to provoke with the Soviet Union?
Why is the N. Y. Times silent these vital
facts? Is it because it is despite its eageness to see
anxious to conceal the peace policy of The Soviet
Union?

1t is hardly necessary to comment the obvious
hypocrisy of the NJ Y. Times for the Commu-

The sincerity of the N T. Times fight against Ger
man FaScism can be gagged by the fact that it has
far refused to show it's readers the Naz
tiers made public by the Daily Worker.
Furthermore, it is matter of record that the N. Y
Times editoriay expressed its indifference the

more hdeous anti-semitic outrages of the Fascists
But it e-~tainy cannot have escaped the attention
of the reader that the arguments used by the N Y.
Times to dscredit the firm and unshakable peace
policy of the Soviet Union come straight from the
copious outpourings of Leon Trotsky.
WAS it not Trosky who laid down the moral basis
for intervention by declaring that the Soviet policy
toward Germany dictated not by its unalterable
desire for peace, but by motives of national COM
mercisl advantages?
Was it not Trotsky who first gave the argument
to the melting capitalist press of the world that the
Soviet Union should invade Germany to fight Hitler?
The New York Times recognizes in the Trotsky
proclamaons the true of intervention provoca-

What the Times above all seeks to hide is that the
