Foreign Minister Says Nation
Will Not Again Discuss
Situation in Asia

Tokyo, May 4.-F-Foreign Min
lister Koki Hirota voiced vigorous
expression OF Japan's new Hands off
China" policy Friday and implied that
Japan proposes never again to discuss
the question Of peace in the Far East
with western powers.
Addressing the annual conference
Of prefectual governors. the foreign
minister declared that Japan refuses
: to submit to a repetition of what hap
pened at Geneva in 1882. when I'M
fortunately Japan's opinions concern
ing the maintenance of peace in East
ern Asia were rejected, compelling us
to secede from the League OF Ma
TONS"
Although Hirota mentioned only
Geneva In this, his first public ex-
preston on the Tokyo government S
recently enunciated policy toward
China, there was strong implication
that Japan intends never again to
debate Oriental questions on equal
terms with the Occident as she did at
Washington in 1922 when the nine
power treaty was framed
No General Discussion
Referring to the powers treaty
rights in China. Hirota said that IF
necessary. Japan is willing to ex-
change views individually with powers
concerned about their rights and in
terestS.'
The foreign minister restated the
main points In recent declarations
through which Japan answered the
challenges of Great Britain and the
United States concerning her policy
in Eastern Asia.
Hirota reiterated that Japan re-
spects existing treaties and the rights
Of other powers in China.
Then he added:
Japan is the principal protector of
the stability and the peace of Eastern
Asia.
1T Is Japan's mission to maintain
peace and order in Eastern Asia and
cooperation with the other countries
Of the Far East.
Japan sincerely desires the unfit
cation, integrity, and prosperity Of
China which can be attained only
through China's own self-awakening
efforts"
Hirota said the ''so-called assistance
given China by outside parties will
only hamper this purpose and Japan
cannot remain silent when q third
party disturbs relations between ia
pan and China or takes action dis
turbing the peace Of East ASIA"

Vigorous objections will be filed BY
the North Dakota railroad commits
sion to increased rates proposed in q
report issued by an interstate com
merce commission examiner in the re-
opened Western Trunk line class rate
case, Commissioner Ben C. Larkin
said Friday.
The proposed report advocates sub
stantial increases in the class rates
between North Dakota and eastern
points, such as the Twin Cities, Chi
cago, New York, Pittsburgh, and 9TH

kin declared.
Under the examiners proposed re-

cago and Bismarck will be increased
from SILL to $3.50 per 100 pounds,
while the first class rate between
Chicago and the Twin Cities would
be reduced from $l.26 to $l.2l per
100 pounds.
Citing other typical rates proposed
in the I. c. G. examiners report. the
state commission said the rate from
Chicago to Fargo would be increased
from $l.75 to SLIT per 100 pounds.
Means Substantial Boost
Between New York and Bismarck.
the rate would be increased from $3.50
to $3O5, while between New York and
Fargo an increase from $2.54 to $3.50
is proposed. Between New York and
the Twin Cities it Is proposed the
rate be increased from 1912 to $2.15.
The key rate in class rate ADJUST
ment is the first class rate, as all the
lower class rates are based on q per-

KEYNOTE address at the North Dakota
Luther League and Choral Unior
district convention which opened II
Minot Friday with delegates from al
parts of the state the Rev. Opie S
Rindahl, of Bismarck, warned Luth'
e,an young people against "spiritua
racketeering" and religious band
TRY" and urged them to make decis-
ions to enrich their spiritual lie.
The aim OF the spiritual racketeer-
ing" mentioned by the Rev. Mr.. Rim
dahl, he said is to lead youth away
from the traditional church.
It was the assertion Of the Bis
marck pastor that the church has
what modern young people really need
and arc looking for, if they are not
misled. Their biggest quest" he
said, lis for spiritual satisfaction,
and he added that the church, having
it's foundation in word of God, can
satisfy that quest authoritatively.
The theme of the convention dis
cussion is Decisions in Dangerous
Days
Today. as in previous ages, said the
Rev. Rindahl. there are false teachers
and many people are falling away
from God. The enemy OF Christ Is
powerful" he said.
These are dangerous days he said
because "a Christless leadership Is
strong; ~ there is moral laxity; 80
times. good or hard, tempt us away
from God"
The Rev. Mr.. Rindahl. who was
host pastor when the state conven.
ton was held at Bismarck two years
ago, spoke at the opening session Of
the convention at First Lutheran
church this afternoon. A quartet

VARYING HISTORIC ATTITUDES TOWARD PEACE

"They did try to turn their re
manning military forces against the
growing new international force in
the form of the Soviet Republic, but
for this war their weapons proved too
blunt, and they reasonably and op-
portunely rushed to put a stop to
discussions Of war with us.
apart from that, the proletariat
in the capitalist countries began to
recover from the war hypnosis, and
demanded the fulfillment of the
promises which the bourgeoisie made
to them during the war. The war
brought about a strong reaction and
anti-war sentiments also among the
petty bourgeoisie.
Further, it became necessary to
bring some order into the war-shat-
tered finance and economy. All this
created an era of bourgeois pacifism
and pacifist diplomacy, continuing to
very recent times.
"Innumerable international meet
ings and conferences took place, the
League OF Nations was created, which
organized meetings of the Ministers
of Foreign Affairs and Prime Minis
tiers several times a year. For II
years they spoke and wrote about
peace and disarmament, and drew up
projects for corresponding agree
ments.

RELATIONS WITH U. S. A.

Litvinoff passed on to illustrating
the course OF the development of
relations of the U. S. S. R. with
various countries - America, Turkey,
France, Italy, Great Britain, Poland,
ete. Dealing with relations with the
U. S. A., Lit ..noff among other things
stated:
For fifteen years the u. s. A. was
the only big power stubbornly refus-
ing not only to establish formal re-
lations with the Soviet Union, but
even to recognize its existence. 1t
did not want formally to recognize
the fact of the October Revolution
and the accompanying changes in the
Soviet Union.
1t did not remain stubborn be-
cause it had bigger government dis
puteS with us than other countries,
not because ii suffered more from
revolution, but because in essence
it continued the struggle declared
by all the capitalist world after the
October Revolution against the new
Soviet system Of government. set
ting Itself the ain Of the creation
Of Socialist society.
''This was a struggle against the
existence of two world systems.
Observing how its colleagues in
this struggle, the other capitalist
states, one after another deserted
the front, America seemed to say
to them: Il understand you are
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-01-01

But not all capitalist governments
want war at all times, or always to
the same extent. ANY government, no
matter how imperialistic it is, can
become profoundly pacifist at one
time or another. That happens either
when it has suffered defeat in war
and it requires some time to gather
its forces for new wars, or when it is
confronted By a stronger state or
group Of states, or when the general
political situation is unfayorable for it.
or when it is gorged WITH victories and
conquests, and requires some time to
master these conuueste.
There are also other factors dis
couraging the desire fer war, as, for
example, internal disorders, economic
impotence, etc. After the world war
the entire Capitalist world temporar-
lily became pacifist. 1t is unneces-
sary to explain the pacifisln of the
conquered countries, from whom al
most all means for waging wars were
taken. But even the victorious coun-
tries, having satisfied their i'm
loerial lust to q considerable extent
for q time were not interested in
further wars. True, the irremoyable
capitalist contradictions even among
the eonQuering countries remained,
but they were too exhausted to i'm
nlediately decide upon new wars.

MED by anyone at present. But not
all other states have yet determined
their position in this struggle, and
their attitude to the Soviet Union.
A characteristic popularity OF
situation Is that their attitude to-
wards the Soviet Union has become
a measure Of the peaceable DISPOSE
ton Of other states.
President Roosevelt told me that
somebody had calcClated that 80 per
cent OF mankind delires peace and
only eight per cent try to violate it.
This eight per cent probably repre-
sents the total population Of the
countries recognized as having been
in an ,lnfavorable position in the last
war. I think it unjust to attribute
a criminal intention to violate peace
to the entire population or even to
the majority in these countries,
therefore the percentage of people in
thirSting for war is considerably less
than the aforementioned figures.
Hence the task naturally arises
of uniting the immense mass of man
kind with the aim of preventing this
Insignificant minority from violating
its will towards peace. The question
must not be of new groups, of form
ing military alliances in the old style,
but Of cooperation for lawful self
defense by all those who are not in
terested in violation of peace, in or
der to teach anyone not to attack
peace. The q. S. S. r. is prepared
TO participate In this task because
work in this direction is dictated by
the interests of the toilers of the en-
tire world, the safety Of all peoples,
including naturally the peoples of
the Soviet Union.
Peoples like ours, which gave a
maximum proof Of their peaceful
disposition and reSpec' for the safety
Of others, have q maximum right
to their own safety.

with ether countries, and supplying
the highest guarantee for the full

NON-AGGRESSION PACTS

During the past year we widened
the system of non-aggression pacts.
We now have aggression pacts
in force not only with all our neigh
bours except Japan and China, but
also with France and Italy. We have
made further step in the direc-
ton of increasing the significance
and effective definition of the very
conception of aggression.
Our proposal is already embodied
in treaties with an unbroken chain
of our neighbours from Finland to
Afghanistan, and all three countries
of the Little Entente. The defini-
ton of an aggreSsor given by us is
universally recognized as a valuable
addition TO the science of interna-
tional law and international practice,
and also is an excellent method OF
testing presence or absence of agrees
siYe encroaching desires Of govern
ments. Therefore we shall struggle
for general recognition of this defini-
