(AP Vyachel laff Molotoff, president of the coun cil of commissars, today told the all- union congress of Soviets that he considered the Japanese suggestion thst the Ruao-Manchoukuan bor der be demilitarized was futile. The man who Is virtual premier of the Soviet union told the congress thit Japan had violated many sec tions of the Portsmouth treaty of 1006, made at the conclusion of the RusM-Papanese war and providing for the demilitarization of the Russo Japanese border In Sakhalin Island and between Korea and Siberia. Japan Also pledged The delegates laughed when Molo toff pointed out that the Portsmouth treaty also pledged Japnn. as well a Russia, to guarantee China's sover eign rights over Manchuria where Japan created the empire of Man choultuo. All Siberia reechoed today the en-1 thus! sum with which the all-union congress of Soviets received the re port of a vast increase In the strength of the red army In the past! four years. Mikhail TuchacheffRky, vlco com missar of defense, told the congress yesterday tbe army had been expand ed from 600.000 to 040.000 men, that, concrete fortifications had been com- I pie ted along the western and east ern boundaries and that the navy had been strengthened In prepara tion to repel any enemy which might attack Soviet territory. Challenges Enemies "War Is being Intensively prepared . against us." he asserted, adding challenge to "our enemies" to "try our borders." Pravda said today: "We are ready at any moment to answer the triple blows from the In cendiaries of war. Times have chang ed. History has worked for us. Im perialistic gentlemen, bewarel If you promise war upon us. It will be fought not on our territory but on yours." Pravda said there was never any army In history like the red army. "It Is a symbol." the newspaper said. "It Inspires and It Incites. Its came Is pronounced everywhere with great enthusiasm.

(Associated Prsss Photo REPUBLICANS LACK DEFINITE PLAN IN Democrats Have Detailed Picture of Expectations in Every State Economic Situation Will Be Factor By BY HON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, Tho Associated 1 P(ess, Washington) Not much Is said for publication, but under-stirface explorations prep aratory to the 1036 presidential cam paign already have reached a highly active stage. - The lieutenants of President Roosevelt, whose renomlnatlon Is conceded, could give you from their confidential files a detailed picture of what they expect to happen In every state during the pre-conven- tlon season ending tn June of next years. On the republican side the data Is far less complete, and anything but conclusive. In the main, It forecasts continuing confusions and contro versy right up to th time when the national convention mattes Its deci sions. One of tho prime questions Is how many other parties will be In the field. The answer Is conceded gener ally to depend on the economic trends of the next few months. Banking On Better Times ' If prosperity returns during the coming year, tho politicians expect to sea little significant third-party ac tivity. If things go on as they are, or get worse, a bumper crop of Inde pendent movements Is looked for. Evidently, Mr. Roosevelt Is bank ing, politically, on a very appreci able economic upturn. Recently his managers have not been taking the pains they once did to keep the republican Insurgents In the democratic fold that Is, to keep them from going out on their own and organizing against the adminis tration the popular discontent aris ing from the depression. , Democratic party chiefs are pro ceeding, Instead, on the theory that by November, 1030, Improved condi tions will have wiped out most of that discontent, and that the natural prestige of the administration will insure Mr. Roosevelt's reelection on a straight-out democratic ticket. darner Is Net A year sgo there was talk, very high up In the party, of putting up an insurgent republican as the Roofe velt running-mate. Now the talk Is all for tho renomlnatlon of Vice President Garner. In every state (except Hucy Long r Louisiana) the democrats are build ing up. and relying on. a down-the- line democratic state organization. and frowning on nil coalitions. Of course If any discontented repub licans want to go along, they are wel come, but they arc not rncouraged to expect favors. There are a lot of possibilities In that. A return of the Insurgents to the republican camp would be cal culated to nguravnte greatly the' v-i t . struggle for control already raging ! f ctlSi C Si Lighting Republican Problems Even as things stand now. no one seems able to figure out how a pro longed deadlock can be avoided when the republicans come together tn their next national convention. More dark horses than figured tn the 1030 republican deadlock are edging Into the picture. A candidate of the type of Ogdeii Mills or David I Reed might be able to orgsnlre formidable bloc of delegates In the east. While someone of the type of Arthur Vuiiil; iba was cU.r.g to gether a mid-wcMern bloc, ami some one like William E. Bornh was -ol. lecting the left-wingers, uoond thai, what?
