Army Expanded From 600,
000 to 940,000 Men and
Navy Strengthened For
tifications Along Borders
MOSCOW, Feb. 1. (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. It Is the child of
the proletarian revolution; its watch
ful guard, Its protector."
TOKYO, Feb. 1. ( AP) Reports of
a tremendous Increase In the
strength of the Soviet army occas
ioned no surprise today among high
officials of the Japanese war office.
Japanese spokesmen said the war
office had been aware of Soviet mili
tary activity for tho past two yeara.
They declined to comment further,
maintaining that yesterday's state
ment by General Sonjuro Havashl.
Japanese war minister, that the Jap
anese army la prepared to cope with
any eventuality, adequately repre
sented the war office's views.

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 .

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
