Japan's Provocations Against Soviet Russia

The Japanese Imperialists are intensifying their war provocation against Soviet Russia. They are carrying out a deliberate policy of wrecking the Chinese Eastern Railway, the Soviet owned line in Manchuria. Despite the fact that the Soviet Government has made great concessions in the negotiations for the sale of the railways, in order to preserve peace in the Far East, the Japanese War lords and their Manchurian lackeys have broken off the negotiations.

The fact is that the Japanese Imperialists do not wish to buy the railway at all, they are preparing to take it by force. Hence the wholesale arrests and kidnapping of employees of the railway, the smashing of locomotives and wagons and wilful removal of rails, causing numerous train wrecks.

The Japanese press is carrying out an open campaign of lying propaganda and war incitement against Soviet Russia in order to find an excuse to proclaim martial law and seize the railway.

But they will not be able to get away with it as easy as they think. The power of the Soviet Union will make itself felt and will teach these bandits a lesson they will not so soon forget.

Indian Communist Party made illegal.

At the same time that the natives of the Gold Coast are registering their protest against the Sedition Bill,a drastic Fascist measure has been enacted by the Indian Government. Under the Criminal Law Amendment Act of 1908, the Communist Party of India has been declared an unlawful organization. According to the new decree, any one assisting in the management of the Party or the organization of meetings is liable to three year's imprisonment or a fine, or both, while anyone taking part in meetings is liable to six month's imprisonment.

This repressive measure is designed to smash the militant working class movement in India and to intimidate our Indian brothers who, under the most brutal terror, are waging an heroic struggle against British Imperialism. The united struggle of all the colonial peoples and the white workers is the only force that will smash the whole vile system of imperialist exploitation and oppression.
