motion OF the right-Wing leader Louis
Marin by 434 to 1876. Martin had pro-
posed an immediate discussion of the
pact negotiations, which the govern
ment wished to postpone till after the
signing. Daladier, the French Prem
Ter, brought the Chamber to its feet,
cheering, when he answered bis crit
les and explained the governments
attitude TO the peace pact. Daladi
clearly showed up the war-threat ma
ture of the pact maneeuvers when he
said; mo man who holds the respon-
sibility for governing this country has
ever been able TO accept the idea that
tho bloc sirescH'-~ from the Baltic
to the Mediterranean should be or
gsrized against the country which
stands with her back against the
stretch from the Mediterranean TO the
Baltic. and France stands with her
back to the ocean. This is 9 good
reason for entering into a peace
pact" but Daladier torgets to men
ton that the pact IS also directed
against the Soviet onion on the po-
Iitical front, and against the United
States on the fina,R al.
French adhesion to the pact has
not been won exc rot at the price Of
substantial remodelling of the pact.
A report from London discloses the
fact that no less than six drafts have
been made of this pact during the
ten week long bargaining process that
has preceded the working out of a
text that all the four powers can
subscribe to.
Guarantees Robber Versailles Treaty.
The pact, as it now stands, contains
the references, insisted on by France,
to articles 10 and 19 of the Covenant
of the League of Nations. Article 10
guarantees the existing territorial and
political arrangements of Europe. Ar
ticle 10, which mentions the posi-
bility of the revision of the postwar
treaties, is safeguarded by the provi-
sion that requires unanimity for any
action to be taken.
The pact in its present form can
hardly be regarded as a victory for
any Of the powers that are sc1nS to

report of the brave act of the Ger

conference in the Reichstag building,

why they were able to hold their

Socialists Rise for Hitler.
The Berlin correspondent of the
Copenhagen "Politiken', biggest cap
italist newspaper in Denmark. sent
his paper the following report on the
Reichstag vote following Hitler's
speech:
"All the deputies jump from their
seats, even the Socialists. This causes
sensation. When the Socialists rise
the beams of the spotlights are turned
upon them :.
Old and young. they stand there

Socialists is expl; ined as follows By
the Berlin correspondent of "Het

Socialists, giving the arguments used
by the German Socialist deputies to
Justify their support of Hitler
"A policy which is acceptable from
an impartial standpoint may be sup

the enemy. On the other hand, ii
was feared that Socialist demon

unleaslling of new terror wave by
the Nazis, whose victims would have

big impression.

Japan Turns Army
Towards Soviet
Unions Borders
Marking Keeps Planes
for Anti-Communist
Campaign

SHANGHAI, June with the
Marking Japan armistice giving them
control of most of North China, the
japanese inperialists today turned
their efficient war machine towards a
new goal-inyasion and conquest Of
Chahar Province, on the border of
Soviet Outer Mongolia. This would
bring the japanese war threat very
close to Chita and Irkutsk, chief cities
in the heart Of Siberia.
The balance of the $4,000 japanese
troops now in North China would be
used against volunteer inSurgent
forces now active in Manchuria, and
threatening japanese control Of many
key points.
Reports current here state that
there are a number of secret points
in the Chino-Japanese armistice not
mentioned in the published truce
terms and covered by verbal under
standing.
Tie Marking government, though it
possesses scores of war planes pur-
chased with contributions lured from
the Chinese people for defending the
country against the japanese invad-
ers" has not used single plane
against the japanese, abandoning the
Chinese front-line troops to repeated
bombings from japanese planes. and
preferring to concentrate all available
equipment against the Chinese Red

American Support
Against U.S.S.R.
Asked by IShii
Sure Of Sympathy with
Us in This Struggle

NEW YORK. June while the
japanese government in its eyasive
reply to the Soviet governments
protest note, was avoiding the issue
of japanese Indictment to war against
the Soviet Union, Yiscount Ishii, head
of the japanese delegation to the
World Economic Conference, has
been making speeches and radio
breakfasts in the United States de-
signed to promote Japan's anti-Soviet
policy.
In 1917 Ishi negotiated with Pres
ident Wilson the notorious Lansing
Ishn agreement, providing for Amer
icar recognition Of virtual japanese
protectorat in North China.
Against Communism"
Speaking before the Japan Society
in New York. on the eve Of his de-
parture for London, Ishk pictured
Japan in a struggle against the dis
ruptive forces of Communist propa-
ganda. which have injected them
selves into the regions Of the Far
East. Appealing to the sympathy
and aid Of American capitalism. Ishii
added: II am sure that you sympa-
thize with us in this new struggle.
Coming so close on the heels OF
Ishii's talks with Roosevelt, these
speeches reveal that japanese and
Araerics imperialism are trying to
get together on the only two points
On which there ! no irreconciable
clash between them. Since American
imperialism is resolutely opposed tc
japanese domination OF the Pacific
and China. while Japan just as reso-
lutely opposes Americas penetration
of its own sphere Of influence in the
Far East, what can Ishii and Roose-
welt have found in common in then
secret negotiations? Only two things
common opposition to the Soviet
Union and common struggle to ex-
terminate the Chinese Soviet Repub-
lie. the two centers of the workers
and peasants fight for liberation If

While the japanese Army was
driving north TO the Soviet border
in Manchuria American imperialism
made no protest But as soon as tbs
japanese forces started advancing

lean capitalism has millions invested
Washington pulled all wires to bring
the Japanese push to a stop.

Socialist Papers on Socialist
Maneuvers.
1t is common gossip among for
eign journalists in Berlin that the
so-called conflict between the Central
Committee of the Socialist Party and
the Socialist Reichstag caucus is
merely another maneuver.
They allege that the Central Com
nittee demanded that the Reicnstag
deputies stay away, or if present, alb
stain from voting. This was reported
by number of foreign socialist
newspapers, such as "Het Volk" Of
Amsterdam lie Peuple" of Brus-
sells, ''Populaire" of Paris, and the
"Arbeiter-zeitung" Of Vienna
The Reichstag caucus, in its May
18th meeting. decided TO vote for the
Hitler resolution. II is now stated
that this whole conflict was staged
in order to appease the Hitlerites, al (
The same time making the anti-Fas-
cist rank and file membership of the
Socialist Party believe in the SINGER
ity of the Central Committees anti
fascist stand.
Socialist Testimony on Comm Hnist
b Activity.
And as for the New Leaders"
charge that the German Communist
Party is inactive and dead, it 80 hap
pens that Swedish Socialist col
league of the New Leader" forces 1t
to eat Its own lies. A Socialist woman
writer of Sweden, who returned from
Germany three weeks ago, has pub
1ished a long article on whet she
saw there She visited a number OF
German Socialists, writing as fol-
lows:
"All I noticed of any secret polit-
icaI activity we're some copies Of the
Rote Fahne' which is published il
legally every week. 1t is sold at five
pfennigs Zone cent? a, copy and am
sure that every copy is read by many
| hundred workers. 1t must be SAID
| that the 'Rote Fahne is much better
now than in the legal period, accord
ing to what my (Socialist) friends
tell me. 1t contains many articles
on acts of terror, carricatures on the
Third Reich and much theoretical
material"
This woman says nothing about
supposed activity" of the Socialists,
although she was in contact onR
! with Social Democratic circles. N
is all the more significant that she
found-among Socialist ofacials-the
Communist 'Rote Fahne".
Here the contrast is so clear that
even the blind may see it. On the
one hand Socialist deputies vosing
for Hitler and asking to be taken in
as guest members" OF the Nazi eau
Gus. On the other the heroic fight
of the German Communist Party,
whose illegal central organ is cher
ished by the working class, and even
finds its way into the homes Of So
cialist Party functionaries, who have
to admit its incorporating spirit
and propaganda excellence. The
American working class can Judge
for itself!
