This would have to take place on the
Birin border of Manchuria and the
Soviet Union and through invasion
of Inner Mongolia and Outer Mon
golia (known as the Peoples Re-
public of Outer Mongolia, an indie
pendent republic which has close
ties with the Soviet Union.
The Next Step
The war Tor Chahar opens the way
for the attempted fulfillment of the
next step OF the war policy of Jap
anese imperialism.
The present military drive of Jap
anese Imperialism was deliberately
staged through the assistance Of
General Feng Yu hsiang. While in
Japanese pay. General Feng an
nounced himself as the commander
of the anti-Japanese forces" His
troops began an attack on Papaofti-
enko in order to drive forward to
retake Dolonor from the Japanese.
THE japanese, as previously ar
ranged, use this as preteXt for
taking a greater slice Of Inner Mon
golia and OF reaching closer to So
Wet territory.
General Feng Yu hsiang, war
lord who has sold himself to every
inlperiadst power in China, is clever
at using demagogic propaganda to
cover up his betrayals. He sends
few Of his soldiers to precipitate the
japanese advance, but would quickly
shoot down any attempt on the part
of the Chinese people themselves to
arm themselves and start real,
peoples war against Japan to pre-
vent the further penetration of
China.
A Truce with Japan
The Chang Kai Shek government
having relinquished the whole of
Manchuria and North China to Jap
anese imperialism, has made truce
with the invaders. But the japanese
are not satisfied with the big slice Of
territory they have gained, although
it comprises a population of 40000,-
600. The Marking central govern
ment headed by Chang Kai Shek, is
receiving millions of dollars from
Wall Street, and recently purchased
a number of American bombing
planes
IN the struggle for Chinese markets
4 and for the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of
China, the i-noerialists are utilizing
the conflict between the various
Northern, Southern and Central war
lords. Feng Yu hsiang, after he be-
gins to yacate Chahar, when the
Japanese continue the drive he in
vited, will press against the Marking
government. From the South, the
militarist war against Marking is be-
ing prepared by the forces of Gen.
eral Chen Chi Tang of Canton, and
his ally, HUI Han Min, now in Hong
Kong, close to his British advisers.
Warships Desert
During the past few weeks a nurr1-
Der Of ships, formerly under the con-
troll of Marking, deserted and steam
ed southwark The commanders of
these vessels offered themselves to
the Canton forces in their struggle
against Marking.
One of the big factors behind the
Southern drive against Marking can
be seen in the recent British an
nouncement that the boxer fund Of
100000 pounds, around 100000 900,
will be used to develop British trade
in China, and that several millions
of dollars will be used to complete
the railroad from Hong Kong to
HsnkoW. Al TIE present time the
railroad is interrupted for a space OF
a few hundred miles. The British
now want to supply this missing link
and thereby tap the rich trade OF
Hankow and ths interior, bringing it
into the British crown colony of
Honk Kong. AS a preliminary step,
the British are seeking to fortify
there puppets throughout this region,
struggling against the American
supported Marking government.
JAPANESE imperialism, carving out
y a new empire for itself in the
North Of China, moves towards the
center for its own benefit, struggling
against American Imperialism and ita
puppet Chang Kai Shek govern
ment.
Meanwhile, the war danger height
ems throughout the Pacific, with
American Imperialism rapidly build
ing its naval war machine for the
next world slaughter.

The Japanese are driving north

against the Soviet Union in order
to solve the sharpening contradict

expense of the Soviet Union-by
