With the United States and England permitting the Japanese te use the go-called neutral International Settlement as a base for their operations against the Chinese, the defenders of Shanghai finally turned their guns on.the International Settiement yesterday in an intensive bombardment of the Jajanese position in the Settle- ment. With the Ghinese driving back Shanghai battle area, the British ternational Settlement haye threa if they follow wp their victories the Japanese on all fronts of the and American forces in the In- tened te shoot down the Chinese yy invading the Settlement to get at the Japanese forces operating from that base. . . . ‘CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONED attempting to earry out. The pro- posals are intended, moreover, to Jessen the ever-sharpening danger of | a clash between the imperialists over | ts division of the loot. | | Aimed At Strengthening Anti- Soviet Front. | "These proposals are made at the same time that the Japanese have | seized the North Manchurian city of | Harbin and are proceeding with their | openly announced intentions of boar vancing to the Siberian borders of the Seviet Union. The proposals and the Harbin action are both aimed at | maintaining the imperialist front. | Both are attempts to submerge the | sharpening antagonisms between the | imperialists in the face of the greater | antagonisms against the Soviet Union and the revolutionary struggles of | the Chinese masses. | ‘The five Chinese cities which the | Japanese propose for immediate seiz- ure by the combined imperialists are Hankoyw, Shanghai, Canton, Tsingtao | and Tientsin. All five would make | excellent bases from which the im- | perielists could carry on their war) against the Chinese masses. All ex- | cept Hankow are on the coast. | ‘That Hankow, 500 miles up the Yangtze River, is included in the cittes te be seized shows plainly the intention of the imperialists to at- tack the Chinese Soviet Republic, the only stable government in all China today and the only force in China feared by the imperialist bandits. Dispatches from Hankow en Sun- dey reported that the Chinese Red Army was within five miles of the city in a smashing advance against the gunboats of the imperialists and An unconfirmed report states that, ithe Japanese forces in Hankow have ‘taken over the city with the aid of ithe Kuomintang militarists, who ‘oubted their own ability to hold it against the Chinese Red Army in the face of a threatened uprising by the workers in the city to weleome ithe Chinese Red Army. | In announcing the Japanese pro~ | posate, | man I ii it ure of international intervention necessary to give China peace ard stable government.” Consider Manchuria Japanese Loot.

A Shanghai dispatch to the New York Times reports: “A united front and-a common policy, even preferably interna- tional intervention in China by the great powers, were strongly_adyo- cated tonight by Admiral Kiochi Shiozawa in his first discussion of the political significance of the Present situation in an interview with the New York Times,” American workers! Here is open admission that the present armed at- tack on the Chinese masses is for the looting of China, for interven- tion against the Chinese Soviet Re- public, against the Soviet Union. This is what you will be called to fight for—to murder fellow workers for the profits of the imperialists who are exploiting you and slashing the wages of the empleyed while sen- tencing the unemployed millions to starvation, disease and misery. Negro workers!
