M. MOLOTOFF

A GENERAL WAR in Europe, into which the smaller neutral nations will be drawn, appears inevitable.

More than half the entire population of the world is now at war.

The Anglo-Franco-Turkish Ract of Mu- tual Assistance has heightened he possibi- lity of an increase in the area of conflict.

Russia will remain neutral.

The workers of Russia, however, have been "summoned to protect the Chinese nation against imperialist invaders, to act against those who are for continuation of war, and loudly to demand, that husbands, sons and brothers be brought back from the trenches."

MOSCOW, Nov. 6 (UP).-- M.. Molotoff, discussing hos- tilities in the Far East said that approximately 570,000,000 people, "in one degree or an- other, have been dragged into the Imperialist war in Asia,” during the past three years.

The Sino-Japanese war, he said, has accounted for mil. lions of human victims and has destroyed sovoral thousand villagos in China.

"What is maro, no ond of these bloody sacrifices and frightful hardships is yet in sight."

Approximately 750 millions are being "dragged into the war in the West," thus half the population of the world is now engaged in war.

"That Is the principal. 'achievement' which a capital- ist world has shown this day," he concluded.

On the contrary, it was true that although there might have been hitches, such as failure in the attempt to draw the Soviet into the war, "we have shown that we rely on our own judgment and not that of others."

American Economic Pressure On Japan

Congress May-Act To Stop Exports

SPECIAL TO THE TELEGRAPH. WASHINGTON, Nov. 6. (UP). The U.S. Congress may shortly authorise economic pressure against Japan in order to stop anti- American and anti-foreign activities in China.

This threat was issued by Senator Key Pittman, Chairman of the Foreign Relations Com- mmittee, in a press statement to-day.

Senator Pittman disclosed that he Intends to introduce ta resolution empowering the President to place an embargo on vital shipments to Japan when the Commercial Treaty expires en January 20.

The treaty, which America has abrogated; will not be renewed, Senator Pittman said,

"The mere adoption of my resolu- tion will have a salutary effect, as well as being a good bargaining weapon.

"I think the resolution will be passed by the Foreign Relations Commilice and will be reported to Congress Immediately after the expiration of the treaty of amity with Japan.

"There will be no serious oppost- tion in Congress,"

Japan's Prosent Advantage

The Senator charged that Japan realises that she can virtually ignore *: American protests against restrictions to United States business in China because knows we have nothing
