for the shipmnet Of a huge amount
Of war planes. These planes have
dual purpose. First Of all, they
help Chang Kai Shek in his anti
Soviet war, in an effort to wipe out
the Chinese Soviets which cover
nearly one-fourth of China, and
embrace 100000 inhabitants.
Role of Chinese Soviets
The Chinese Soviets' despite six
military campaigns against it,
financed by all of the leading i'm
perialist powers, has constantly ex-
tended. destroying the landlord

nese people in territory now
larger in size than any big capt.

They have made enormous i'm
proyement in the economic condi-
tons of the people They have
established q central Soviet govern
ment in Juikin, Kiangsi province.
The regular forces of the Chinese
Red Army consists of $4,000 men.
and 100000 in irregular, partisan
groups.
Not only have the economic con-
ditions of the Chinese masses been
raised, but there has been a great
cultural development. Women have
been emancipated. Schools and
universities are springing up.
Throughout all of China, the work
ers, peasants and students are in
increasing numbers rallying to the
support and defense of the Chinese
Soviets as the best guarantee for
the liberation of China.
Japanese imperialism is not
averse to attempting to wipe out
the Chinese Soviets. In Fukien, on
the Yangtze, in North China, it
has supplied planes. money gun
boats for this purpose. But it
figures that that is not alone the
objective They are not wiping out
merely for the sake Of preserving
Chang Kai Shek.
Wall Street is building It's war
bases in China in order to get a
stronger grip for itself in the Chi
nese markets. All of the imperial
lists are speeding towards the dis
memberment of China. and Wall
Street, through its S40,00000o cotton
and wheat loan to Marking, through
its heavy shipment of war planes,
through its naval race with Japan,
is aiming to secure as large q share
as possible.
The British and French are &C
tive. 1t is race to see who can
slice Up the greatest share Of China.
The British, with their base at
Hong Kong and Kowloon on the
South Seacoast Of China, with their
powerful control in Shanghai, are
maneuvering for the lions share.
The Japanese have slready
wrenched away Manchuris, and a
big section of North China, They
are now aiming for Peiping, the
ancient capital of China according
to the latest issue of the China
Weekly Review, an American news
paper published in Shanghai. The
French are penetrating Yunnan
and Kweichow, Southern provinces.
And the British from India, are

We shall seize Kirin as We seized

ture we must admit the inevitability
of war with Russia on the fields Of
North Manchuria."
Then the document which serves
as the basis for all present war-like
declarations says:

the defense OF. others, Japan cannot
remove the difficulties in Eastern
Asia without pursuing a policy Of
blood and iron. If we wish in
future to gain control over China,
We must crush the United States.
that is, behave toward the. States as
we did during the Russo-Japanese
War In order to conquer China. we
must first conquer Msnchuria and
Mongolia"
Roosevelts War Plans
The. Roosevelt regime has left no
stone unturned to increase its mill
tary power in China. It has. through
the Vinson Bill, provided for a navy
second to none" 1t is flooding
China with war planes, and with
military instructors. Yankee i'm
perialism has become the main sup
porter Of the Anti Communist War
OF the Marking regime, in return
for which she expects a stronger
and greater foothold in China.
Wall Streets main interests are now
centered in Shanghai and along the
Yangtze River. The rapid air de-
velopment is a move to spread its
colonial influence against Japan and
Britain and win all Of China for
influence and plumber.
The japanese minister to China.
Akiri Ariyoshi, declared recently
that two American air bases were
being established in Fukien Province
within two hours flying distance
from the Japanese island colony of
Formosa.
Almost unanimously the Japanese
diplomats point out to Wall Street
that they are doing in China, what
Yankee imperialism does in Latin
America. They declare they are
setting up an Asiatic Monroe doc
trine, setting aside Asia as an i'm
perialist hunting ground exclusively
restricted to Japanese plumber, Just
as Wall Street relegates to itself
absolute domination in Cuba, and
the Caribbean, and in Latin
America.
Japan's Chauvinism
Uchiro Yokoyama. japanese dip
lomat in Geneva, made it a little
more specific, and at the same time
increased the chauvinist propa-
ganda among the colored races of
the world. Japan's policy, he de-
olared, is Asia for the Asiatics."
He forgot to add, Asia for the jap
anese war lord, with the lynchinps
of Formosans and Koreans such
has the Japanese war bandits have
been carrying on for decades. It
is Just such chauvinist propaganda
that Japanese in1perialist agents
carry on in the United States
among Negroes. They forget to
point out that Japanese imperial
ism under this policy murdered

that the japanese war lords have
enslaved the 10000, 900 Chinese In
Manchuris, and now hold out this
perspective for all Of China.
Other imperialist conflicts enter
into the picture. japanese impe-
rialism is making secret agreement,
with German fascism for Joint at
tack on the Soviet Union from
East and West. There still exists
also, an old war alliance between
France and Japan made in 1906
whereby both countries mutually
support each others claims tc
spheres Of influence and lunder.
So far as Great Britain is con
cerned the conflicts are more COM
plicated. Britains chief rival is
the United States. At the same
time, the japanese tmperiaGsts have
penetrated the Indian and African
textile markets Of Manchester. Re
Gently they have reached an agree
ment on this matter.
Great Britain is the chief Or
ganizer Of the anti-soviet campaign
from the West, and supports the
japanese war moves against the u
s. S. r. in Manchuria. Both find
their interests conflict with Wall
Street in China, and there is every
likelihood there exists secret agree
ments on the division Of colonial
domination in China between Great
Britain and Japan.
The latest news from London in
dicates a lot Of secret imperialist
juggling. Quo Tai Chi, Chinese
minister to London, visits Sir John
Simon, Foreign Secretary. and asks
for a joint declaration on the nine
power pact. which is supposed TO
garantee the integrity Of China.
The American ambassador holds
some conversations with the same
gentlemen.
But according to the New York
Times. THE British government to-
day april "a sent a polite re-
minder to Japan" and Sir John
made it clear that his reminder
was a friendly communication"
1t is clear that all of the i'm
periaHst powers are driving to war
for redivision Of the world. for
markets and spheres of influence.
One. of the first steps taken by
Roosevelt when he became presi-
dent was to prepare for war of
plumber in the Far East, and every
step taken since has been to
strengthen this war policy. The
main activity of the Roosevelt gov
eminent has been to supply Chang
Kai Shek with war materials and
aid against the Chinese Soviets. The
Chinese Soviets, and the Chinese
Red Army, together with the Com
munist Party and Red Trade Unions
in Kuomintang, Nationalist China,
are the bulkwark Of the Chinese
people against all of the imperialist
powers and their schemes for the
division of China. On the neces-
sity for the destruction of the Chi
nese Soyiets, all of the inperialist
powers are united.

tional Convention of the Connu-
mist Party, U. S. A., for the strus-
gle against war and fascism. take

these increased war budgets are
solely for defensive" purposes, the
true meaning Of the above naval
program is admitted by none other
than Yates Stirling, Jr., Rear Ad-
mirsl, United States Navy. This
Admiral says, in advocating the
above program: For the purpose
of an overseas campaign against an
Oriental foe, our battleships are
not an asset but a liability. They
are now a purely defensive weapon"
So the honorable Admiral wants a
larger navy, not as our statesmen
love to tell us for the protection of
our homes, wives and children from
the cruel foe, but for purely often
sive purposes in the Far East
Thousands of Schools Closing
At the same session Congress ap-
propriated some s348, 1000, 900 for the
army. This includes larger appro-
priations for the Citizens Military
Training Camps and increased al
lotments for the Reserve Officers
Training Corps in Junior High
Schools and Colleges. This at a time
when thousands of rural and city
schools are closing throughout the
country for lack of finances.
The army budget does not of
course include another small item
some $500, 100000 for six months of
the Citizens Conservation Corps. AS
everyone knows, these corps include
more than 100000 boys from 10 to

this while millions of young men

given the munitions industry a New

new imperialist war. A war for the
redivision Of the territories of the
globe among the imperialist giants.
A war in which American youth will

Behind closed doors the war is
being planned. That war will come,
is definite. The only questions to
decide is against whom and how
soon. Japan and Germany with the
open support of Great Britain are
preparing for an open attack against
the Soviet Union. Tension grows be-

The Tanaka Document
Though none of the capitalist
papers have mentioned the fact, the
latest foreign office declarations of
the Japanese war lords is q con-
tinuation and confirmation Of the
famous Tanaks Document, given
worldwide publicity by the Com
munist International.
The latest manifesto Of the Jap
anese foreign office declared that
Japan is called upon to exert the
utmost efforts in carrying out her
mission in East Asia and fulfilling
her responsibilities"
The manifesto goes on to state
that Japan must act single-handed
on her own responsibility. Japan
considers that no other country ex-
cept China is in position to share
that responsibility"
No loans, no military aid, no al
liances are to be made between
China and any other foreign power,
declares the Manifesto. So far as
Wall Streets actions in China are
concerned, the manifesto states:
For example. supplying China
with war planes. building air
dromes and detailing military in
structorS or advisors to China, or
contracting a loan to provide
funds for political uses, would oh
viously tend TO separate Japan and
other countries from Crina, and
ultimately would prove prejudiciaI
to the peace of East Asia. Japan
will oppose such projects"
Forward to Conquest
1t would be we'll to compare the
latest war effusions Of Japan, and
the war preparations Of Wall Street,
with the now famous memorandum
handed by the late Baron Tsnaka
to the Japanese emperor on July
25, 1927.
In that document, speaking in the
name of interests Of self-defense,
and the defense of others" and "in
the interests of peace and order in
the Far East Baron Tanaka de-
clares;
with all the resources of China
at our disposal, we shall pass for
ward to the conquest Of India,
the Archipelago, Asia Minor, Cen
trail Asia and even Europe"
The same document declares war
against the Soviet Union is primary.
IF the Chinese Eastern Railway
belonging to Soviet Russia develops
in this district. then our new con-
tinental policy will receive a blow
which will inevitably bring about
conflict with Soviet Russia in the
near future. In this case we shall
again be obliged to play the role we
played in the Russo Japanese War.

special importance for the youth of
America. National hatred, chauvin-
ism and patriotism are growing
everywhere. The imperialist powers
are working overtime to whip up
the backward nationalist sentiments
of the youth into a war frenzy. Ger
nany's mad man rails against the
Jewish people and for war against
the Soviets. In the United States
race hatred is being created against
the Negro people with the aim Of
destroying the growing unity of Ne
gro and white toilers. Anti-Semitism
is growing, and new fascist organi-
cations are being built among the
youth Forest Legion. White Legion,
American Legion Juniors, Silver
Shirt Juniors, etc, etc..
Anti-War Youth Movement
But if war preparations and ma
tionahst Indictment are growing,
May Day will also prove that the
united front Of youth against war
and fsscism has also grown. Since
the historic Paris international
Youth Conference and the U. S.
Congress against War and Fsscism
held last Fall, a powerful united
front anti-War youth movement has
been created. Hundreds of organi-
cations and tens Of thousands Of
youth have AFFILIATED with the Youth
Section Of the American League
against War and Fascism. These in
cludes YMCA's, YMHA's, Settlement
and Community Houses, church
groups, Socialist youth groups ard
hundreds of school organizations
But this movement is only be-
ginning to develop and grow. Anti
war committees are being set up in
factories and on ships. State and
city anti-war conferences will be
held throughout the nation during
the month of May. The recent youth
anti-war actions were only rehesrs-
ais for the powerful mass snti-war
and fascist demonstrations to be
held throughout the country on
Decoration Day - National Youth
Day.
THIS is the significance of May
Day, 1854, for the American
youth. 1t is a day which must be
a mighty answer to the war; mong-
ers, to the fascist meters, On this
day the youth will show their grow
ing solidarity with their class bro
theirs in other lands. They will DEM
onstrate against the preparations
for war and fascism at home and
against fascism abroad They will
demand the freedom Of Thaelmann,
leader of the German working class.
They will demonstrate their sup
port to the Cuban youth, heroically
fighting against American imperial
ism. They will demonstrate their
defense Of the Soviet Union and
their support of the Chinese Soviet
