Ali, da Ii mi radnici jednih drugih kap

Japanski radnic: Vasa razbojnicka ka-
pitalisticka klasa gangsterskim nacinom je O.
svojila Madzuriju nazad 10 godina. Ona osvaja
Kinu bice tome skoro pet godina. Da Ii ste vi
radnici Japana dobili ikakve korist cd osva-

vacka klasa wise tudjih zemlja pljackala, hara-

mperijalisticka vlada osvoji Geo svet. vi ste
najamni robovi vi nemate cd pljatkanja vase
izrabljivacke klase da dobijete nista drugo
sem vece izrabljivanje.
Tako isto mi znamo, da Ii &c Phillpinska
Ostrva ostati posedstvu nase kapitalisticke
Wade iii ne to nece nasu sudbinu popraviti,
jer smo mi robovali kao najamni robovi pre-
njihovog osvajanja; robujemo Cd kada in po-
seduje nasa kapitalisticka klasa robovacemo

Why Did Not
Roosevelt
Seize Ships

Someone asks, "Why didn't Roose-
welt seize these ships months ago?"
1t is logical question. The Uni
ted States froze the funds of Italy
and Germany and of Axis-occupied
countries. Why not the ships? Sim
ply because American public opinion
wasn't ready. There was no adequate
recognition that the United States
was involved in the world struggle
and must take active measures to pro-
tect itself and aid those who are fight
ing for the free way of life. Also
the need had not become so acute and
visible.
No one thought that seizure of AK
is funds would provoke war, but since
the first World War Americans are
touchy about ships. Had the Axis
and Danish ships been "impounded"
six months or even two months ago,
there would have been cries from
some Americans, "You are interven-
ing in the war;" The cries may still
come, but since the passage of the
Lend-Lease Act the majority of Amer
leans have become SO interested in
furnishing aid to Britain-and in see
ing that it gets there-that they are
likely now to list the ship seizure as
just one of those things that must be
done to achieve the purpose agreed
upon.
Reports of sabotage, carefully sub
stantiated by pictures, will facilitate
acceptance of the move. The sabotage
was apparently the immediate cause.
The seizure seems to have been plan
ned, but to have been precipitated by
sabotage. The hurried telephoning
between Washington, Secretary Nor
genthau in Arizona and the President
in Florida, indicate sudden decision.
Statements by Italian officers that
they had consulate orders for sabot-
age indicated the immediate cause.
The law providing for this "pro-
tective custody" has been on the
books since 1917, the Presidential
proclamation of national emergen-
cy under which it was applied was
made last October. But it looks like
subterfuge to say that the sabotage
threatened to interfere with naviga-
ton or even that the ships would
"cause damage or injury to any har-
bors or waters of the United States. I"
We shall leave to the sea lawyers
of Geramny and Italy-the able legal
lists who arranged "non-intervention"
and the sinking of neutral ships sup
plying Spanish Government forces by
unknown submarines argu-
grounds of international law. We
ment against these seizures on
wish that the United States might
make its own legal position clearer
by fortnight repeal of the now mis-
leading Neutrality and Johnson Acts.
But as for international law, unilat-
eral observance of rules already de-
stroyed does not serve international
justice. We know too, that so far
as war risks go, they do not depend
on Interpretation of the law of ma
tions, but upon Axis judgment of ex-
pediency. This action will not be
taken in Berlin or Rome as a casus
belli. -.

intention of picking quarrel with
the United States and Britain, %
Finance Minister Masatune Ogura
said today in comment on the freez-
ing OF japanese assets in America
and the British Empire and Japan's
reprisals.
Japan has been compelled to take
counter measures in Self-defenSe, "
Ogura wrote in an article given
prominence by the japanese press.
IF the British and Americans use
prudence in application of their
freezing orders, Japan is ready to
exercise like prudence. What Japan
wants is a maintenance of normal
economic relations
The Finance Minister said, how

pressure against Japan is likely to
increase. Despite this, he declared
the empire must push ahead with its
program in China and East Asia.
1t was Japans occupation of
Southern French Indo-China that
precipitated the American and Brit
