This is high- ly significant as an indication of the crystalization of a new imperialist line-up and the rapid approach of a new world war. The report reads as follows: “Considerable feeling against Great Britain was evident in gov- ernment circles because of Lord Reading’s stand at the League | vouncil. The sentiment was inten- sified by reports of a conversation | in Peiping between Japan's envoy | and Sir Milcs Lampson, British Minister, in which Sir Miles was said to have been decidedly in favor of the Chinese stand.” | The attempt of the United States, | Japan and France to prepare for a edistribution of the colomies ig di- ected not only to China but to the British Empire. This redistribution of the colonial markets and the pre- parations for the attack on the Sov- iet Union are being intensified by the imperialists because of constant deepening of the world economic cri- | sis. The imperialists are preparing | for a war solution of the crisis.
