> _DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, THURSDAY, F Nation- JAPAN BOSSES, ‘AND U.S. BOSSES IN WAR THREAT World War Looms in | Pacific | CONTINUED FROM PAGE oi] i appeal for “national unity’ was di-! \ rected especially against Japan's Wall! {Street rivals for mastery of the \Pacifie and control over China. The Spokesman of the Japanese War De-| Partment accused the Wall Street Government of mobilizing world opinion against Japan and seeking to; force the League of Nations to as-| sign to the U. S. the Japar*se man-| ‘ / dated South Sea Islands. He de- clared: “It is clear that the Uj cd States wants to obtain conti.i of the Japanese mandated South Sea Islands in the event of Japan's giv- ing them up, but withdrawal from the League does not mean surren- der of mandates,” The Japanese Minister of the Nav declared that Japan would defy an) attempt to block the realization of | its . if the foreign nations go to length of bringing pressure to teke the necessary measure for f-detense.’ 2 fhe. Japanese Minister of the Navy issued orders two days ago to the navy to stand ready “for any eventuality.” The Wall Street Government already has concen- trated its full battle fleet in the Pacific and recently engaged in war maneuvers off the Hawaiian Islands as a navai demonstration against Japan, ‘fhe U. 8. Govern- ment recently decided to fortify the Aleautian Islands off Alaska and to rush the constructon of naval bases in those islands, The U. S$. Government has just given a large order for bombing and pur- suif planes. The U. S. Congress is speeding through a new appropria- tion bill for $308,000,000 for the U.S. Navy. Lloyd’s and other in-: surance companies have increased their war risk rates on ships and cargoes to the Far East. Threat to Se ze Tientsin. The rapid development of the war situation in the Far East is further emphasized in the Japanese threat to seize the Tientsin-Peiping area, one of the main spheres of U. S. in- vestments in China, and to blockade ali Chinese ports. The Japanese at the same time issued a warning to Britain and other imperialist powers that support of the U. 8. would re- sult in Japan taking steps for “se- curing the markets and products of China exclusively for Japan.” By its promise of concessions on the war debts, the U. S. Government. — port from the British imperialists. That this support will not take any active form is indicated by the speech of Sir John Simon, British Foreign Minister, in the House of Commons yesterday, in which he evaded ques- tions asked from the benches as to the policy of the British Government on the proposed ban of arms exporis to Japan. British official statistics show that Britain has been selling arms to both Japan and China, with 410 shipments of arms to the Far East during 1932 alone. ‘ French-Japan Bloc. The French imperialists, who have e secret military alliance with Japan for the maintenance of their loot in the Far East, are giving very little support to the efforts of the U. to yet the League of Nations to block Japan’s drive against the U. S. spheres of investments in China. The imperialist antagonisms in the Far East are now threatening to ex- plode at any moment in a new world war for the re-division of the world among the imperialist bandit powers, and for a capitalist “way out” of the increasingly catastrophic crisis of world capitalism. “The readiness of the Soviet masses and their Red Army to defend the Soviet Union, the militant sympathy of the toiling masses of, all countries for the U. S. R. and the present revolutionary upsurge of the starving masses throughout the capitalist world are the deciding factors in blocking so far the plans of the imperialists for armed intervention against the prole- tarian state. “At the same time, the sharpening of the imperialist ‘antag- onisms increase the danger of armed intervention, as the imperialists des- perately try to solve their differences at the expense of the Soviet Union and the toiling masses throughout the world. Thus, Japanese imperial- ism calls for imperialist unity against the Soviet Union, against the Soviet Revolution in China. “Japan is re~ sponsible for the maintenance of peace and order in the Far East.” “The dispute (seizure of Manchuria, inyasion of Jehol Province) is due primarily to the absence of an, au- thoritative and efficient central gov- ernment in China.” Toilers Fight War. ‘The Japanese proletariat are an- swering thé robber aims of Japanese imperialists with the most heroic struggles, under the leadership of the Japanese Communist Party, against | the capitalist war-mongers. The toil- | ers of the U. S. should show their solidarity with the Japanese working class.

DRIVE Woll in New Attack on Recognition Matthew Woll, fascist Vice-presi- dent of the American Federation of Labor, fired another shot in the cam- paign of the A. F. of L. misleaders against recognition of the Soviet Union by the U. S. government. Woll made public a letter he sent to Bain- bridge Colby, who was secretary of state in the Wilson administration which first formulated American im- perialism’s anti-Soviet policy, includ- ing non-recognition. Woll in his letter maxes one of his’ usual vicious attac' on the Soviet Union in the name of the | “Russian people” (by which he means the exiled capitalists, white guard generals and parasites of eve: de- scription). He points to the fact that it was a democratic government that initiated the policy of non-recogni- tion and calls on the incoming dem- ocratic administration to continue to refuse to recognize the Soviet govern- ment. (Enormous sentiment among work- ers throughout the country, includ- ing thousands of A. F. of L. members, in favor of recognition is responsible for the present campaign of the A F. of L. betrayers, who are afraid that the Roosevelt government may yield to this mass pressure. S. P.
