ee eee tre BER c ge One ) against possible attacks of the Chinese militarists against large sections of the Soviet Union’s eastern frontiers. The wave of indignation of the masses in the U, 8. § R. is developing into indescribable enthusiasm. The work- ers are supporting the government by contributing one per cent of their wages for the defense of the Soviet Union. The peasants are supporting it by paying the agricultural taxes in advance and supplying larger quantities of grain. Chinese worker demonstrators are welcomed everywhere with the greatest enthusiasm. The Academy of Sciences has adopted a resolution sup- porting the Soviet government and appealing to scientists throughout the world, and particularly in China, to permit no interference with the constructive work of the young proletarian state. Concentration of troops of the Chang Hsueh-liang gov- ernment continues along the Manchurian-Siberian border. SUPPRESS COMMUNIST PAPERS. (Wireless by Inprecorr.) ¥ PRAGUE, Czecho-Slovakia, July 18.—During the last few days the authorities have suppressed eight of the nine Communist dailies. The only one now appearing is the Delnicky Denik, which is also threatened with suppression. Several weekly Communist papers haye also been suppressed. The period of suppression is four weeks for the dailies and six months for the weeklies. This measure is an attempt to hinder the preparations for the August 1 International Anti-Imper- ialist War Demonstrations. L'HUMANITE MANAGER. es (Wireless By Inprecorr.) PARIS, France, July 18.—At the time of the police raid on L’Humanite, yesterday, which resulted in arrests, Denys, manager of the paper, was sentenced to 15 years’ imprison- ment on account of the publication of articles concerning the chauvinist airplane display at Vincennes. The prosecu- tion alleged the articles incited military persons to disobey , their superiors. SENTENCE $e. Ne aie SOCIALIST YOUTH CLASH ON WAR. (Wireless By Inprecorr.) VIENNA, Austria, July 18.—The congress of the so- cialist youth international, held yesterday and the day be- fore, presented a thoroughly bourgeois picture, many of the delegates being adults. The proceedings were boring until the discussion on the war danger was reached. The British delegates then demanded co-operation with the workers of the Soviet Union and the Communists in the struggle against the war danger and for the defense of the Soviet Union. The British delegates declared there was aggression against the Soviet Union, supported by the imperialists. ACCUSE SOCIALISTS. They stated furthermore that this imperialist aggres- sion was being supported by a bitter campaign of the Sec- ond International against the Soviet Union, The British delegates’ attitude provoked a furore, some delegates supporting, others, particularly the officials, vio- lently opposing. Crispien, whose official speech was one long calumny against the Soviet Union, furiously demanded the British delegation withdraw the charge against the Second Interna- a ., tienal, which the British refused to do. o* * UNDERSTANDING MADE IMPOSSIBLE. MOSCOW, U. ment’s note to Nanking, delivered last night, cuts through the web of falsehood and propaganda thinly shielding the world imperialist aggression on the Soviet Union now being earried out by the Chinese militarist governments at Nan- king and Mukden, and brands as hypocritical and provocative ' President Chiang Kai-shek and S.

R. demand for reopening of negotiations over the Chinese Hast- ern Railway and the Soviet government’s demand that per- secution of Soyiet employes on the road be stopped. The Soviet note finally asserted that the Chinese gov- ernment made an understanding impossible. It also de- clared that Chiang Kai-shek, head of the Nationalist goy- ernment, had stated that the confiscation of the Chinese eign policy toward the Soviet government. SEES NO HOPE OF RECONCILIATION. “The Soviet government, therefore, perceives no further possibility of restoration of diplomatic relations,” the note said. “The Chinese government has shown that it does not desire peace with the Soviet Union and therefore alone bears the Plame for the collapse in relations.” The U. S. S. R. immediately ordered all traffic intended for Vladiv soy to detour around the northern route along the Amur River, in U.S. S. R. territory, and stopped all traf- fic going into Manchuria. All Soyiet Union consulates and trade offices in Chinese territory are being closed, and all Soviet workers on the Chinese Eastern system are recalled. It is known here that these two measures strike a heavy financial blow at the Chinese militarists’ war chests, for the Chinese Eastern road paid the Mukden government about $5,000,000 annually in profits, and 90 per cent of the trade was from across the Manchurian border. Moreover, with- drawal of Soviet Union skilled workers, it is thought, will cause at least two years’ delay in building a working staff with imported imperialist or Chinese militarist personnel. These measures are made necessary by the Nanking government’s evasive and provocative answer to the Soviet Union's demands, and the unsuccessful attack on the border customs house by Chang Hsueh-liang’s police at Pogranitch- naya, as well as the armed, but unsuccessful, attack by the same police on the Soviet consulate on the Manchurian side of the border. The answer sent by Chiang Kai-shek, says the Soviet note last night, “confirmed the confiscation of the Chinese Eastern Railway and rebuffed the efforts of the Soviet Union to inaugurate an understanding between both peo- ples.” The Soviet note also declared that the Chinese reply criticized the Soviet government instead of occupying itself with the three demands in the Soviet ultimatum. “The Chinese government, furthermore, accused the Soviet government of various machinations which were based on falsehoods,” the note said. DENIES ARREST OF CHINESE. “It is untrue that several thousand Chinese citizens at Moscow or in the Soviet Union were arrested or were about to be arrested. The only Chinese citizens in Soviet prisons are those who were sentenced in Soviet courts for ordinary crimes and smuggling.” The news of the break in relations was received by the workers of the U.S. S. R. with renewed demonstrations of loyalty to their government, and continued pledges, a vast avalanche of resolutions from countless factory, shop and vil- lage meetings, that they wifl defend the results of their toil from all imperialist invasions. “The break raises the question of safety of a consider- able part of our eastern frontiers,” said Izvestia, official gov- | ernment organ. “This will compel the Soviet Union to take necessary measures for protection. The character of these measures will be dictated by further developments,” The press generally at-{ Tithae Chinese la “oot. | tacked the Chinese reply to the | lers and bandits, Hei —. |U. S. S.
