In the course of his discourse, M. Voroshilov vigorously attack- ed Japancae militarism. He said "It is now clear that Japan was the first to choose war as the way out of a crisis, Japan is the main purchaser of war material and munitions in the world markets. She has been simultaneously con- ducting a tremendous campaign to prepare the country for war. It would be strange if we pretend ed to take no notice.".
Continuing, M. Voroshilov con- tended that Japan had done every- thing possible to injure the So- viet's interests.
