BOSSES UNITE TO
GIVE EXCUSE FOR
WAR ON US. s. R.
News Agencies Lying
About Soviet War
Declaration"

World Imperialism yesterday COM
bined its efforts to create a pretext
for Japanese attack on the Soviet
Union, with U. S., British and other
imperialist news agencies broadcast
ing reports of a secret" nom agrees
sion pact between China and the
Soviet Union. These reports con-
tain a deliberate distortion of the
peace aims behind the struggle of
the Soviet Union for non aggression
pacts with its neighbors and attempt
to present these aims in the light Of
the war alliances typical of the poll
cieS of the imperialist war ongers.
They ignore the fact that the Soviet
Union has offered a non-aggression
pact to Japan, and already has sign
ed such pacts with Poland, France
and other countries.
War Proyocation Stories.
One report, emanating from the
imperialist nest at Peiping, peddled
"recurrent rumors" that "the Russian
Soviet Government contemplated de-
claring war on Japan, but was
forced TO admit in the same breath
that these rlmorS we're met with
emphatic denials from all quarters.
These war provocation stories fol-
low on the heels of the rumors cur
rent in financial circles a few DAYS
ago that japan already had declared
war on the Soviet Union, and mus
serve as warning to the toiling
masses of the world on the inlmiA
nence of the armed attack on the
Soviet Union for which the imper-
ialists long have been preparing.
Aid Robber War.
The lying rumors that the Soviet
government contemplates declaring
war on Japan are aimed at building
up moral case" for the japanese
imperialists in their robber war on
China and their role as spearhead
OF world imperialism for armed in
tervention against the Soviet Union
They are aimed at providing new
weapons for the social democratic
leaders and allies of the imperialists
ITO come before the masses with lies
of Soviet aggressions. They are di-
rected toward covering up the re-
dictionary nature of the imperialist
attacks on the Soviet Union which is
successfully building Socialism and
admittedly forging ahead in indus
trial production precisely at the time
when Industrial production is drying
up in the capitalist countries,
No Data on Pact.
The Marking Government several
weeks ago resumed normal diplomatic
relations with the Soviet Union, after
breaking off these relations in 1928
at the dictates of world Imperialism.
The Daily Worker has no inforrna-
ton that the two countries have
signed non-aggression pact.
Such a non-aggression pact would
be, however, completely in line with
the consistent struggle of the Soviet
Union for peace. In line with Soviet
policy such a pact would have no
secret clauses and would have the
sole aim of strengthening of defend
ing the toiling masses of the whole
world from a new blood bath. On
the other hand, the Soviet govern
ment has not hesitated to make
clear to the imperialist war-mongers
that the Soviet masses and Red Ar
my will defend every single inch of
Soviet territory, in the light of Com
rade Stains declaration:
1--WE do not want single foot
Of foreign territory, but we shall
not give UP single inch Of our
own territory, either, to anyone"
