U. S. Pushing War Preparations. ‘The Wall Street government is | rushing its war preparations for the | planned joint armd intervention against workers’ Russia. Officers in | charge of Citizen's Military Training | Camps have been informed by the | for the various districts will be in- creased for this coming summer. En- rollment for training at these camps have already begun, and during the next few weeks the capitalist news- papers will be flooded wit: propa- ganda for the mobilization of Amert- | ca’s youth purely for “defense” pur- | struggle against Japanese imperial- poses. | The greatest concentration of the | land forces in the history of the Uni- | ted States is planned to match with the huge joint Army and Navy man- ouvers now going on in the Pacific. Colonel Farrel of the U. S. Army addressing the Dwyer Post of the | Veterans of Foreign Wars last week, | told th veterans that the United States would be at war within the | next thirty days. He mentioned that | it would be alright for them to en-| list, but that the government planned | to use them as Home Guards—that | is, @gainst American workers fighting | egainst unemployment, starvation | end mass misery, wage cuts and lynch terror.

These e Considered to be one in the world. They wking full force through- out the winter while other factories in the vicinty are practically shut down. | A London dispatch admits that the | British are supporting the Japanese | in their murder of Chinese workers | in Manchuria and their conversion of that territory into a military base ogainst the Soviet Union. It says: “Brilish opinion—especially the dominant Tory opinion—contends that no British or international in- terest is at stake in Manchuria and that the Japanese penetration there could offend no one except possibly Russia. It is recognized here that Japan needs Manchuria for her trade and teeming population, and it is felt it would be wisest for Fritain not to attempt to thwart her, “When it comes to Shanghai, | however, the British attitude is wholly different. Enormous and vitally important British interests are at stake in the Yangtze Valley and there is an ardent hope here that Japan will not repeat the cam- paign of the last six weeks.” Plan War For Loot, Against Workers Workers! Here is open admission by the imperialists themselves of the aims of the robber war against China! ‘That war is for loot! For the parti- tion of China among the imperialist robbers! For the redivision of the world, for the war in China is only a prelude for the world war the im- perialists are hatching against the icals, Soviet Union, against the revolution- } ary struggles of the colonial masses, against the struggles of the home masses fighting against starvation and mass misery.

Demand all war funds for the unem- ployed, for unemployment relief and social insurance! Defend the Soviet Union! | British Prepare Hypocrisy At Geneva | The same London dispatch admits | that British imperialism is preparing | to play the hypocritical role at Gen- eva of pretending to oppose Japanese imperialism in its robber war against | China. The dispatch says: i “When the League of Nations As- | sembly meets tomorrow in Geneva, however, Britain may be in the foreground of those nations solemn- ly rebuking Japan for breaches of the League covenant and the Kel- log pact. The British spokesman at Geneva knows that many smaller nations with smaller respozsibilities in the Far East will be only too | eager to scold Japan if the great powers do not forstall them. Con- sequently a scolding may be expect- ed from Briiain, which will reaf- | firm the strength of League prin- ciples and League obligations and go as far as possible without exas- perating the Japanese people.” That, workers, is the measure of | | the imperialists and their League of | | Nations! |Seviet Press Scores League Hypocrity | | Walter Duranty, Moscow correspon- | dent of the New York Times, reports | | the Soviet press in an attack on the | hypocritical manouvers of the League of Nations. York Times says: “Soviet Russia takes a character- | istically skeptical attitude toward — the Geneva proposals for a Shang- hai peace. The newspaper Izyestia runs a fiye-column headline, ‘Im- | perialists preparing deal at China’s | | expense,’ with the subhead ‘Powers | | protect own interests’ | Duranty further reports that “Sov- | \iet newspapers also feature reports | that virtually the entire United States |naval forces are now in the Pacific | | and that an American banking group | |is negotiating a $50,000,000 loan with |the Nanking Government.” | Imperialists In Sharp Conflict Of Interests Now that the Kuomintang has | |faithfully carried aut the orders of | United States and British imperial- isms to betray the Shanghai defense, the antagonisms between the impe- |rialist robbers are tremendously | sharpening over the loot in South China. Strong representations were made yesterday by United States, British, French and other imperial- ists against the “usurpation of police powers in the International Settle- ment by Japanese military and naval forces.” This sharpening of the antagon- isms between the imperialists does not lessen, but greatly increases the danger of joint imperialist armed intervention against the Soviet Un- ion, as the imperialists seek to sub- | ordinate and postpone their own antagonisms in a united front a- gainst the Soviet Union. USE LINDBERGH KIDNAPPING STORY TO DISTRACT MASSES FROM STRUGGLE AGAINST MISERY, WAR York Times gives a modified picture of the frightful terror being wreaked on the Chinese masses: Appalling Scenes As Refugees Fice | Terror. “All Japanese houses and shops flew rising-sun flags and groups of Japanese civilians shouted banzais whenever soldiers and marines passed. These districts are in | striking contrast with Chapei, where tens of thousands of Chin- ese, who had remained concealed within their homes far behind the front lines, were driven out by the rapid spread of more than a score of fires set by the retreating Chin- ese soldiers. (This is a damnable lie. The fires were set by the Jap- anese as a Shanghai dispatch to the New York Tribune admits.— Daily Worker). Staggering under the burdens of household posses- sions, these refugees ran panting through cimoke-filled streets, spur- red into a frenzied rush toward Soochow Creek by fear of the spreading flames and the advanc- ing Japanese soldiers, “The Ichang and Markham Road bridges crossing into sectors de- fended by American marines furn- ished appalling scenes. Thousands of men, women and children, hys- terical witn fear, jammed these bridges, agonized by the slow pro- cess of being examined and passed through the gates into the foreign settlement in groups of threes and fours, “Early this evening, a tour of the banks of the Soochow Creek and investigation of the bridges re- vealed that hundreds of refugees were still seeking admission to the Settlement—standing in stolid sil- ence with their yellow faces bronzed by reflection of the huge fires near by which were steadily eating away what was left of Cha- “pel. “Streets near the creck within the Settlement presented a lurid Picture of the results of war. Thousands of stunned refugees were sitting on the sidewalks and in the streets in hopeless immo- bility, so exhausted by the struggle to reach safety that they were un- able to seek shelter for their fami- lies, which were buddied in groups His dispatch to the New| around pitiful piles of salvaged Possessions.” Japanese sources, which in the past have accurately reported the support of Chiang Kai-shek for the Japanese invasion of China, now see the possibility of Chiang dis- arming the Nineteenth Route Army now got out of hand in the Lind- bergh case. These -yultures of American cap- ifalism at times come home to roost, The working class must not let it- | self be blinded by the “heartrending appeals” to the humanitarian senti- a typical product of corrupt and de- caying capitalism, by their anguished sympathy with the plight of the Lindberghs.

What an unprecedented, monstrous, coolly calculated, and premeditated plan to hypnotize the million masses tion of their life of misery and death into keeping silent on the very ques- by starvation! In this respect the newspapers are carrying out their traditional policy of “toning down” and omitting al- together news of the suffering of the masses. Of especial significance is the fact that they are inereasing that policy in keeping with the tremen- dous increase in the growing suf- fering and misery of the masses. The present condition of actual warfare against the Chinees masses, of growing attacks on the Chinese Soviets and sharpening danger of imperialist war against the Soviet Union also gives the key to the fervor with which the whole publicity cam- paign is being carried on. In the face of the tremendous suf- fering of the masses, it is very dif- ficult to work up the war sentiment and patriotic zeal necessary for the carrying out of the Wall St. plan of war against the Soviet Union. With Lindbergh's position as a national “hero,” as @ personification of “the poor boy who made good,” as the military idol of countless workers, young and old, who have been blind- ed by capitelist propaganda, this case affords the capitalist class an ‘| napping or kidnappers. The capital- lusions of “democracy,” all the hero formation of the bitter suffering of the masses into a jingoistic, nation- alistic, sentiment) capable of being turned into an anti-Soviet channel. ‘They seized upon it as a glorious op- portunity to rally the sympathy of the masses for dying imperialism in the person of Lindbergh. ‘The Lindbergh kidnapping case is | another case of the Lindbergh flights which were also employed for the twofold purpose of diverting the at- tention of the masses from their mis- erable conditions and of strengthen- ing their crisis-shaken patriotism. Of course we do not condone kid- ist system itself produces them. The united front of President Hoover, the capitalist press and Al Capone is suf- ficient commentary on the position of crime under capitalism. The same gangster bands and criminal elements of the under- world who are supposed to be re- sponsible for the kidnapping, are the very same collection—50,000 in Chicago alone—who have been de- veloped by capitalism, They are the same kind of de- generate and murderous thugs, or- ganized and maintained, paid and defended by the billionaire bosses, day.

This is an example of the horrors of imperialist war into which the capitalist war mongers are trying to plunge the whole world in their attempts to get out of the cri- sis at the expense of the life-blood of the looting and partition of China, at the expense of the achievements of flourishing Socialism in the Soviet Union and at the expense of Soviet China, For the horrible butchering of the | Shanghai Chinese masses, United States imperialism is jointly respon- sible with the Japanese imperialists.
