Smash the War Moves Of
Japanese Imperialism!

CLEARLY and sharply the note of the
y Soviet Union to Japan has ripped open
all the war provocations of the Japanese
miIitarists against the workers father
land The war-mad Japanese military
clique, intent on Selling the Chinese East
ern Railway. They have instigated bands
of Manchukuosn soldiers to make bandit raids on
the Eastern branch of the line, running to Vladivo-
stok and have then charged the Soviet Union with
plot" to wreck its property.
The japanese controlled press in Msnchuris,
openly admitting that the arrests and plot" charges
were deliberately and falsely made in order to pro-
woke war with the Soviet Union, calls for immediate
action
So far have the war preparations against the
Soviet Union gone, that the japanese War Once
itself has taken hand in disseminating lying stories
about the Red Armys alleged deeds in wrecking
railroad guarded at the risk of life and liberty by
Soviet employees.
All of the arrests and provocations against the
Soviet Union followed post haste after the rupture
Of negotiations for the sale of the Chinese Eastern
Railway proposed by the Soviet Union
THE Soviet Union offered to sell the railroad IN
L order to maintain peace The japanese i'm
peralis bandits determined to seize the railroads
as a preliminary step to armed invasion Of the
workers fatherand broke off negotiations. In
their drive for war against the Soviet Union they
were not acting alone having established
alliance with the Fascist butchers in Germany,
ceiving support and comfort from British imperial
ism and from powerful capitalist sources in the
United States.
In purportng to give the full text Of the Soviet
protest note, the New York Times, printing only.
third of the note, deliberately suppressed the
proof of Japanese provocations against the
Soviet Union, thereby keeping from its American
readers the real truth of the situation. Only the
Daily Worker In tOdays issue prints the full text
of the note which shows the lengths to which the
Japanese imperiaist robbers going to explode
the world into bloody conflict.
The vigorous protest of the Soviet Union points
out that the deeds of the japanese and Manchurian
authorities signs Of increasingly aggressive in
tentions of some official circles" And the Soviet
government counts on the Japanese government
drawing their necessary conclusions"
The whole world has seen the patient and con-
ciliatory attitude Of the Soviet Union it's fervent
striving for peace The whole world now sees, also,
that the Soviet Union the land of the victorious
proetarian revolution is making 1t clear to the war
mongers that 1t knows their criminal intentions and
is ready to defend the land Of socialism against the
planned bloody attacks
THE danger of against the Soviet Union at
this moment is dangerously great All of the
tmperialist bandits would like to see Japanese inn
perialism begin its criminal adventure for the at
tempted destruction Of the Land Of Socialism.
We may be at this very moment, japanese
warshps stearning secretly to Soviet waters;
Japanese bombing planes, and armies are being dis
patched to Manchuria.
We must arouse the whole American working
class to this great danger and to what this threat
ened imperialist invasion means to them The Jap
anese robbers count supporting attacks on the
U. S. S. R. from the West and on financial aid from
the United States
Mass demonstrations at the Japanese consulates
against this threatened should be organized now
in every city. Every effort must be made to stop
the shipments of munitions from this country to
Japan for war against the Soviet Union. In the
closest cooperation and solidarity with the japanese
toers, we must fight against the bandit efforts of
Japanese imperialism to start the holy war against
the bulwark of the world proletarat.
Now, without the slightest loss of time we must
organize forces for the defense Of the Soviet
Union
