Japan Hits at Workers’ Paper Published in U.S. NEW YORK—The Japanese gov- ernment has asked the U.S. govern- ment to suppress “Rodo Shibun,” the Japanese workers’ paper published in Sen Francisco.

East 12th Street (By Mail) — Anti-war that in the great Soviet Union, there is not a corner which has not felt the immensity of the Socialist construc- tion of the first Five-Year Plan, and the talented leadership of the C.C. of our Party. In Strategic District “The Far Eastern region, which 1 represent here, is one of the distant districts of our country, situated in the intense sector of international political events of the present day, it already borders directly on Japan, which is feverishly preparing war. There is no need to deal in detail | with the conditions which have arisen in the Far East. Comrade Stalin and Voroshilov characterized the condi- tions arising in the Far East with ex- hhaustive clarity. I wish merely to em- vhasize that in the condition in the Far East we felt with special clear- ness the wise, cautious and simul- taneously the firm policy conducted by our Leninist C.C., the policy di- rected towards averting war, utilizing capitalist contradictions, for the ben- efit of Socialist construction. “In the Far East we felt this special force. We saw that the Central Com- mittee of our Party adopted all meas- ures to smooth the growing sharpness of the intense situation in our rela- tions with Javan. “But unfortunately the policy of the Japanese imperialists did not rive confidence that we shall not be drawn into military complications de- spite all our efforts to avoid them. Words and Deeds Japanese government towards the USSR. and its deeds, there is a tre- mendous gap. Desvite the apparentiv neaceful statements of the official Yeaders of Javanese policy, we, never- *heless, see the feverish preparations paper, for Saturday, Feb, 17, at 42] or war are vroceedinc—that North Manchuria fs being converted into @ railway construction feverishly con- ducted by Japan in the last two years. During these two years Japan succeeded in building in Manchuria over 1,000 kilometers (621 miles) ‘of railroad track. Of these 1,000 kilo- meters of railways leading towards the Soviet borders, not more than 30 or 35 per cent can be economically justified. Highway Construction “This first fact shows where and in what direction the military opera- tions will develop on preparations for which Japan is reality is investing its entire national income. “Secondly, highway construction. During these two years Japan has built in Manchuria 2,000 kilometers of roads, (1,340 miles). If we examine the direction of these roads, we see they either go into the border zone, or from inner Manchuria unfailingly stretched towards the Soviet frontier points in those directions which are most favorable for future strategic development. Thirdly, construction of airdromes. The Japanese built about 50 air- dromes and aviation bases in Man- churia. All of these bases and air- dromes are situation north of Muk- den. They are all concentrated in the triangle of Mukden, Harbin and Tsit- sihar. “The Japanese war minister Hayashi, in an interview on Feb. 3rd, tremen- dously belitting his forces in No Manchuria, accused us of huge con- centration of troops on our frontier. He said: “We Japanese in Manchuria occupy an area equal to France, Ger- Eastern frontier alone. The Correct Information “It is necessary to dispel this in- correct information, We have exact information. that, whereas the Jap- anese forces before the occupation of Manchuria consisted only of 10,000, they aw are 130,000 or over one- Manchuria (laughter), although they very modestly do not mention them. “Everyone understands the mean- ing of these measures. They un- doubtedly show the preparation of the Japanese imperialist for a big war. We well understand that both the increase of war budget and the in- crease and the output of the war in- dustry in cone at ay. moment can be thrown against For an Offensive “If we examine the direction of the strategic construction of the railways, highways, airdromes, the lo- cation of the storehouses and bases and the scale of. these preparations, it becomes obvious that all of this is not calculated for the defense of Manchuria, but for the offense against the Soviet Far East. “You see in’ the words of the of- fiical Japanese policy they state they are striving for friendship with tie Soviet. Union. In practice these strivings are not backed up by a single fact. “However, we want to see the facts and not words. Minister Hayasi also says: ‘We do not dream of fighting the Soviet Union if the Soviet Union itself does not attack us.’ I think it is the expression of the general opinion of the Congress when I say that we do not intend to attack them. We have no reason for it. We do not need to seek new territories of mineral wealth. We have suffi- cient and probably enough for cen- turies, even considering the height- ened consumption. “We face the tremendous tasks of the Second Five Year Plan. We need tions, and not to occupy ourselves with war. However, it is quite plain that when observing the war meas- ures of Japanese imperialism, we could not and cannot remain indif- is the basic difference. “Comrade Stalin, in his report, mentioned the Far East, saying: ‘We not only have no intention to yield the Far East, but, on the contrary, we are striving still further to de- velop the work of Socialist construc- tion there.’ “and when I report today on be- half of the Red Army, that we will not yield the Soviet Far East, my confidence is based not only on the power of the Red Army, not only on its technical equivment, not only on its personnel, and its faithful devo- tion to the cause of the revoiution and our Party, but on the tremendous economic changes in the face of the region itself. “During the First Five-Year Plan we invested in the Far Eastern region more than the Czarist government invested in the entire period of its existence. The Second Five-Year Plan for the Far Eastern region is a tremendous program of socialist con- struction for this Eastern District. Second Five-Year Plan “The Second Five-Year Plan faces the region with the task of develop- ing big industry, metallurgy and ma~- chine industry, shinbuilding and the powerful development of the trans- port, the production of food and lieht industries. “As Comrade Stalin mentioned here, the excevtionally important task of the Second Five-Year Plan ts de- velopment of the coal basis in the New Burei District. If we realize that the known reserves of coal are realize this district contains Jarve quantities of iron ore (2,000,000.000 tons), and also copver, then it be- comes clear what tremendous im- portance Burei problems must have ferent. Therefore, measures were taken for the defense of the Soviet Far East.” as advanced by Comrade Stalin. “It can be said directly that the solution of the Burei problem, com- “Historically, for this region the decision of the Central Committee on rebates, combined with the cor: rect Bolshevik work of the Far East- ern. Party oranization and the daily assistance of the Central Committes instructions, tractors, capital invest- ment and seed, will create the pre- requisites for the solution of these tasks of the Second Five Year Plan. The decision on rebates inspired the Far Eastern collective farmers to ac- tive work for mastering the region, It creates all the prerequisites for the ravid growth of aericultural and stock raising basis in the region. “The Party organization, the work- ers and collective farmers of the Fat East, will fight ruthlessly for exemp- lary work, for every machine, for every tractor, for every ton of coal for the fighting’ Bolshevik fulfillme of the tasks of the Party. “Finally the entire personne! of the entire Eastern Red Army understands the tremendous share of responsi+ bility falling on them In the condi: tions developing in the Far East. “Understanding this we began the present year of training with the firm determination consciously in the shortest nossible time to master mill~ tary knowledge, to master the enor- mous technique given by our Party and the country. “The whole army set itself the task to. -be always ready on guard.
