Impatient With Russia"
Truth and Hypocrisy
Hull Points the Road
BY HARRY CANNES

Hull Points the Road
GONE pointed truth and still
y more hypocrisy is con-
tanned in the article on Soviet
relations in the New York
Times of Thursday, clearly inc
spired by, if not the actual
words of the State Depart
ment. The New Deal in U. S.
Soviet relations turns out to be at
present deliberate provocation of
Japan to attack the land of advance
ing Socialism.
The Times declares that Roose-
welt and Hull 'and other officials
have lost patience with Russia"
Perhaps these gentlemen had heard
of Trotzky's counter-revolutionary
tripe about the failure of Socialism
in the Soviet Union and believing
it, as they would be inclined to, ex-
pected they could now ram the
Czarist and Kerensky debts down
the Threats of the Russian toilers.
just as the Daily Worker pointed
out yesterday, the Times State De-
partment publicity admits that the
demonsuative action in cutting
down the o. S. Embassy staff in
Moscow is Just hair's-breadth this
side of withdrawing recognition.
But worse still. 1t has a definite
war aim. as can be seen even
through the hypocrisy of Roosevelt
and Hull-the type Of hypocrisy
which the auto workers are now
feeling in the governmental imposed
company unions
"THAT the rest OF the world will
interpret the situation in this
spirit chat is, Of hostility to the
U.S.SR.-H. c. is recognized J"
says Hull, though without quota
ton marks in the columns of the
New York Times.
Japan viewed the granting of
recognition by the United States
as tantamount to a rapprOche-
ment and probably will interpret
the frigidity in Soviet American
relations as extremely in the Op-
poSite direction" continues the
Times State Department inter
probation.
Now General Minami who Is alb
the head of the Kwantung Army
in Manchuria at present marching
towards the Soviet border; General
Araki who wants war Immediately
against the Soviet Union, and has
the leading inperialist clique and
army gang behind him; and Cen
eral Hayashi, War Minister, do not
need the dome Of the U. S. capitol
to fall on their heads in order to
appreciate what is going on. They
will take the Washington hint
And this is where Hull with the
aid Of the Times tries to cover up
his deliberate war provocation.
Here's how he does it:
This that is the possibility Of
Japaneses imperialist war
against the U.S.SR.-HG.) was
carefully considered before the
new American attitude toward
Russia was revealed. 1t was felt
that Japan had been pursuing
consistently a settled policy in the
Far East ever since she invaded
Manchuria in 1881, and that there
would now be no acceIeration In
the policy, as there has been no
modification of it in the last four
teen months"
THIS mealy-mouthed lie Is of a
piece with NR.A. promises to the
workers. Everybody knows that
Japan has followed flexible policy
in Manchuria
There was the period of Chang
Tso Lin, a long period of ruling
through bribery and the Chinese
militarists. Then there was Sept.
10, 1881, with sudden bloody att
tack on Mukden.
Later there was a distinct divi-
sion in the whole perspective in
Manchuria This is marked by the
two well known military drives
one northward, towards the Soviet
Union, during the famous Noni
Bridge attack; the other southwark.

Roosevelt remember that when
Japan was moving northward.
Hoover assisted them. When they

feet into the Pacific.
Which makes Roosevelt's present
hypocrisy the more shameless. as
with Japan moving into Inner and
Gutter Mongolia, and nearer and
nearer to the Soviet border, the
New Deal liars know that their ac-
tlcn will be taken as definite en-
couragement and inspiration to con-
tinue this move to its logical con=
