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 Pact of Mu- tual Assistance has heightened the 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."

These are the highlights in a speech by

M. Molotoff, the Soviet Foreign Commissar, who addressed a mass rally in Moscow

SPECIAL TO THE "TELEGRAPH" MOSCOW, Nov. 7 (UP),--The real object behind Russia's diplomatic and military treachery in Europa: was made clear to-day.

For the first time since the revolution 22 years ago, the Soviet has come out into the opon in its campaign to enlist the workers of the world in an "anti-imperialist” ravolution.

M, MOLOTOFF

An official manifesto to world workers has been issued by the Camintern.

It urges the workers of tha world to "unite against tho Imperialist War."

"Be faithful to the cause of Prolotarian, Internationalism,' it abjuras.

"Under the Pharisaa mark of neutrality, the American bourgeoise enriches itself.

"The American bourgeoiso is interested in intensifying the war, so that the uncrown- ed munition kings will roap huge profits.

"The Italian bourgeoisa is awaiting propitious moment

·to hurl itself against the loser and claim her share of the victor's spoils."

The manifesto announces the formation of a now world- wide revolutionary organisaTM tion, which will "present a united front against war, com- posed oxclusively of workers, without socialist or other petty bourgeoiso parties.'

The Sino-Japanese war, ho said, has accounted for mil- lions of human victims and has destroyed soveral thousand villages in China.

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.

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

The treaty, which amerien 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
